Delaware to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Delaware to Mississippi
Wilmington to Jackson is about 1,095 miles, down I-81 through Virginia and Tennessee and on through Birmingham. Tupelo and Columbus are closer to 1,000, and Biloxi is around 1,165. It's two to three days of driving.
Most of our Delaware-to-Mississippi moves are Air Force. Airmen from Dover head to Keesler AFB in Biloxi for technical training and to Columbus AFB for pilot training. We also ship for poultry and agriculture professionals moving between the Delmarva and Mississippi, 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 Delaware to Mississippi
Most carriers head to Harrisburg and ride I-81 south to Knoxville, then take 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. Biloxi and Gulfport are on I-10 along the coast. Delta towns are off the main routes and take more planning.

Timing
When to Ship Delaware 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 and the coast. Keep a little slack in your dates.
Winter
Snow and ice on I-81 through the mountains 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 Delaware to Mississippi?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
North Mississippi is about 1,000 miles from Wilmington. The coast is closer to 1,165.
Fewer Trucks
Not many carriers run Delaware 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 debris 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 and families moving from Dover AFB to Keesler and Columbus AFB, plus sailors heading to NAS Meridian.
Short Training Stays
Heading to Keesler or Columbus for training? We can ship your car there and back out again when your next orders come.
Delaware Pickups
Narrow streets in older parts of Wilmington, summer crowds in Rehoboth and Bethany, and HOA rules in Sussex County communities 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, DE-1, or US-13.
