How do I get a crashpad near Shaw AFB?

Send a stay request with your dates, orders type and whether you hold a non-availability letter. If you request a specific home, we check it first. If it is unavailable, or you make a general request, eligible hosts within a 45-minute drive can bid. We review the options and send up to three for you to choose. There's no fee to request.

What will I pay for a crashpad near Shaw AFB?

You're billed the government lodging rate your orders reimburse — $113 a night for the Standard Rate locality this month, or the on-base rate if Shaw AFB lodging is available and you don't have a non-A — with itemized, DTS-ready receipts. Hosts bid below that rate, which is how the platform runs.

Can I share a crashpad near Shaw AFB with a classmate?

Yes. Ask to be paired at request time: both travelers are matched to the same place, each is billed their own applicable lodging rate. Any included benefits appear in the offer before you choose. Pairing is double opt-in, so nobody is matched without agreeing.

How far from Shaw AFB are the crashpads?

Our service area is a 45-minute drive of the gate. From most Sumter neighborhoods it is a 10–15 minute drive west on US-76/378 (Broad Street) to the Main Gate, and from Dalzell it is about 10 minutes down SC-441.
