Connecticut to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Connecticut to Mississippi
Hartford to Jackson is about 1,290 miles, down I-81 through Virginia and Tennessee and on through Birmingham. Tupelo is a bit closer, and Biloxi is around 1,370. It's about three days of driving.
This route has a shipbuilding and military side. Shipyard engineers move between Connecticut and the Gulf Coast yards in Pascagoula, airmen head to Keesler AFB in Biloxi and Columbus AFB for pilot training, and Navy students go to NAS Meridian. We also ship for retirees heading to the Gulf Coast and students at Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
Door-to-door, a final-price quote, and $0 due at booking.

The Route
How Cars Get From Connecticut to Mississippi
Most carriers take I-84 and I-81 south to Knoxville, I-75 to Chattanooga, and I-59 through Birmingham. From there, Meridian, Hattiesburg, and the Gulf Coast are along I-59, and Jackson is west on I-20.
Tupelo and Columbus are reached on I-22 and US-45. Pascagoula and Biloxi are on I-10 along the coast. Delta towns are off the main routes and take more planning.

Timing
When to Ship Connecticut to Mississippi
Training dates and Gulf weather shape this route.
Training Class Dates
Keesler and Columbus run on class schedules, so moves come in waves all year. Book as soon as you have your report date.
Hurricane Season
June through November can affect Biloxi, Gulfport, and Pascagoula. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Winter at Pickup
Nor'easters in Connecticut and ice on I-81 can delay the start of the trip by a day.
Spring Storms
March through May brings severe storms to Alabama and Mississippi. Drivers wait them out.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Connecticut to Mississippi?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
North Mississippi is about 1,170 miles from Hartford. The coast is closer to 1,370.
Fewer Trucks
Not many carriers run Connecticut to Mississippi directly, so loads are often combined with Alabama or Louisiana stops.
Delivery Area
Jackson, the bases, and the coast are easy. Delta towns take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps road salt off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window gives us a better shot at a truck already heading your way.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Mississippi-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Mississippi
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county tax collector's office. Mississippi doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dor.ms.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for airmen, sailors, Coast Guard members, and families moving from New England posts to Keesler, Columbus AFB, and NAS Meridian.
Shipyard Moves
Heading from Connecticut to a Gulf Coast shipyard? Tell us your start date and we'll plan around it.
Connecticut Pickups
Narrow streets in older parts of Hartford and New Haven, shoreline beach roads, and condo or HOA rules in Fairfield County can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-84, or I-91.
