Florida to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Florida to Mississippi
Pensacola to Biloxi is only about 115 miles on I-10, and Jackson is around 250. From Orlando, Jackson is closer to 700. Most of these moves are one day of driving.
This is a flight training route. Navy and Marine students who finish primary training at Whiting Field and NAS Pensacola often move on to NAS Meridian for jet training, and Air Force students head to Columbus AFB. Airmen also move from Eglin and Hurlburt to Keesler AFB in Biloxi. We also ship for Gulf Coast families moving between the two states and students at Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Timing
When to Ship Florida to Mississippi
Training dates and Gulf weather shape this route.
Training Class Dates

Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Florida to Mississippi?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
The Panhandle to the Mississippi Gulf Coast is only about 115 miles. Central Florida to northeast Mississippi is closer to 780.
Short-Haul Pricing
Short trips cost more per mile than cross-country ones, since loading and unloading take the same time either way.
Delivery Area
The coast, Jackson, and the bases are easy. Delta towns take more planning.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps sun and 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 helps during hurricane season.

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.
Flight Training Moves
Heading from Whiting Field or NAS Pensacola to NAS Meridian, or to Columbus AFB? We can ship your car there and out again when your next orders come.
Moving With the Military
We also ship for airmen and families moving from Eglin, Hurlburt, and Tyndall to Keesler AFB.
Florida Pickups
Gated communities, HOA truck rules, condo garages, and tight streets in places like Miami Beach and Key West 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-75, I-4, or the Turnpike.
