FAQ
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base car shipping questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base?
Cost depends on distance, vehicle size, open versus enclosed and the season. Our published cost index gives state-to-state ranges you can check yourself, and a licensed agent will price your exact lane into Dayton, Ohio on the phone in a few minutes.
How far in advance should I book for a PCS to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base?
Three to six weeks for a summer PCS, two to four weeks outside peak season. Summer is the busiest period in the industry and short-notice bookings pay a premium for whatever capacity is left.
Can the carrier pick up on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base itself?
Usually we stage at a nearby commercial lot instead. Full-size carriers cannot maneuver most housing areas and gate access rules change, so an off-post meet point is faster and more reliable for both sides.
Do you offer a military discount for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base moves?
Yes. Active duty, reserve, Guard, veterans and immediate family get a military rate on open and enclosed transport. Mention it when you request the quote.
Who handles a damage claim on a shipment to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base?
The motor carrier that had custody of the vehicle. Enterprise Auto Transport is a licensed broker, not the insurer — $250,000 cargo coverage on open carriers and up to $2,000,000 cargo coverage on enclosed carriers come from the carrier's policy. We help you file and follow it through.
