Vehicles, garages, and flying

Keep your vehicles safe and know what happens when they aren't.

A vehicle opens up the map, with mobile storage, faster travel, and easier questing and hauling. We have a large vehicle collection from RUSForma on Chernarus, Fortune Vehicles on Livonia, vanilla vehicles on Sakhal, and helicopters from Red Falcon Flight Systems, so here's how to keep them safe.

  • Garages: up to 10 vehicles in a personal garage and 20 in a group garage. Store vehicles and helicopters when you're not using them.
  • Abandoned vehicles: they can be posted in the 24-hour deletion channel, then repossessed and bought back through Jack's Repo Services.
  • Losses: replacements only cover confirmed server crashes. Over-revving, reckless driving, and no-fly zone losses aren't covered.
  • Flipped over? Press F6 from the driver's seat to flip a vehicle or helicopter upright (it won't work from a passenger seat), or use road cones from vehicle traders.

Flying is at your own risk, so respect no-fly zones and take extra care when the server is busy.
