PCS to Hawaii Runs on a Tighter Timeline Than a Civilian Move
A military family moving to Oahu on PCS orders is usually working against a reporting date that does not move, which makes vehicle shipping timing more critical than it is for a typical relocation. Here is how the costs and scheduling actually work for a PCS vehicle shipment.
SCRA Rate and Verification
Verified military households receive our SCRA rate applied automatically at checkout. You do not need to submit paperwork in advance beyond your CAC or orders at the time of drop-off. This applies on top of our standard all-inclusive pricing, not as a separate program with different terms.
Booking Around Your Reporting Date
Book as soon as your orders are confirmed rather than waiting for your full reporting date package. Our team works backward from your report date, your household goods pickup, and the Matson sailing schedule to identify the sailing that gets your vehicle to Oahu with margin, not right up against your deadline.
Shipping Two Vehicles on One PCS Move
Many military families ship two vehicles for a single move, one for each spouse. Both vehicles can typically be scheduled on the same or adjacent sailings to arrive close together, and each vehicle is quoted and billed individually at the same all-inclusive, SCRA-adjusted rate.
Working Around Base Housing Timelines
We coordinate directly with installation housing offices when needed so your vehicle's arrival lines up with your move-in date instead of sitting at the port while you are still finalizing housing. Pearl Harbor, Hickam, Schofield Barracks, Kaneohe Bay, and Camp Smith moves all follow this same coordination.
