If you are moving from the Stuttgart military community, first separate the government POV entitlement from an additional privately arranged vehicle. For a second POV, compare SHIP, SELL and STORE before paying for transport.
Run the free vehicle decision analysis with your actual car and U.S. destination. If SHIP wins, continue to a provider-verified rate request.

Military OneSource says one personally owned or leased POV may generally be shipped at government expense for an OCONUS move, subject to entitlement rules and possible exceptions. An additional vehicle you arrange yourself is a separate commercial shipment.
That means a private carrier's price, routing, documents, insurance and turn-in instructions should be reviewed independently from the government Vehicle Processing Center process.
Year, make, model, dimensions, running condition and modifications can change carrier acceptance and price.
Use the real pickup or turn-in point in the Stuttgart area because origin handling can vary.
The final ZIP matters because a U.S. gateway may still require a separate inland leg.
The provider's confirmed method and routing determine the operational path and transport charge.
Physical transport availability does not prove the car can be permanently imported into the United States.
Documents, requested dates and provider capacity affect when the shipment can begin.
USAG Stuttgart publishes current vehicle-registration information for the community and links PCS customers to its POV-shipping resources. The garrison notes that personnel leaving the Stuttgart community must complete the applicable plate and registration steps before departure.
Use the POV rate-request guide for the full operational checklist.
NHTSA explains that vehicles under 25 years old that were not originally manufactured and certified to applicable U.S. safety standards can require an approved import path. EPA emissions rules are separate. A Europe-spec vehicle can therefore have an attractive freight quote and still be a poor shipping candidate.
Use the U.S. car import check and the 25-year import rule guide before treating the transport rate as the final answer.
For an additional POV, the decision should use the full economic picture: provider-verified shipping, likely sale value in Germany, replacement economics in the United States and the cost of storing the vehicle for your expected PCS duration.
For the local STORE side, see the Stuttgart vehicle storage cost guide.
Compare SHIP, SELL and STORE using the actual vehicle, route and PCS timing.
The provider-verified rate is recorded with included items and charges that are excluded or may still apply.

There is no defensible universal flat price. The exact vehicle, Stuttgart origin, U.S. destination, provider routing and import path all matter.
Yes, as a commercial shipment. Confirm the government entitlement separately and compare the private shipment against selling or storing.
Because the vehicle may arrive at a gateway that is still far from the household destination, creating a separate inland delivery leg.
No. Transport pricing and U.S. import eligibility are separate questions.
Review transport, insurance, duty, exams, storage and destination charges.
