hey i was just wondering if any one knows about the navy shipping cars for the military from hawaii to san diego. any info would be great and if any one else know anything about it please chime in. thanks justin

 

Check with Military One Source, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

 

What is the question. they will pay to ship one car from hawaii to wherever you are going.

 

the military will pay forone car, yes i know that, but theres a thing that the navy will ship a vehicle from pearl harbor to san diego for like a 150. i just wanted to know if anyone knew about it or anything like that, how they do it what they use. you know some of the basic's

 

What your talking about is a program called "Opportunity Lift", run by MWR. I used it when I transferred from San Diego to Pearl. The Navy shipped my wifes car and I used Opportunity Lift to ship my 65 and 67 Mustangs for $25 per car (1996 prices). I delivered them to the 32nd St Nav Sta, they went via Gator Freighter, made it there in about a week, and delivered right to PH Nav Sta. The biggest catch about this program is the timing. You have to wait for an empty ship to be going your direction. I would start off by calling the base MWR. A couple of years later, going back to San Diego, nothing was available, and they didn't know when one would be. I had already sold the 67 and used Matson (same company the military uses) to ship the 65. It cost $800 to ship it to Los Angeles (1998 prices).

 

call JPSO, there is a specific office that handles those type of vehicle shippment. As I recall, they will ship a vehicle other than your authorized one for free depending upon when a ship was going out. As stated above you may get lucky and one goes to the mainland early within a day or so, or the car may sit there for awhile (weeks) waiting for a ship to go out. Just call, I did about year ago.
