Minnesota to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Minnesota to Mississippi
Minneapolis to Jackson is about 1,055 miles, by way of St. Louis and Memphis on I-55. Southaven is around 835, St. Paul to Oxford about 920, Minneapolis to Tupelo close to 950, Rochester to Jackson roughly 1,015, Minneapolis to Hattiesburg about 1,145, and Biloxi around 1,225. Most cars arrive 2 to 4 days after pickup.
Minnesota to Mississippi moves are usually families relocating to DeSoto County and the Jackson area, students at Ole Miss and Southern Miss, and snowbirds wintering on the Gulf Coast. I-55 gives this lane a straight shot south. Coastal storms are the main wild card.

The Route
How Cars Get From Minnesota to Mississippi
Mississippi loads head to St. Louis and pick up I-55, which runs through Memphis and into Southaven, then straight down the state to Jackson. Oxford and Tupelo branch east from I-55 in North Mississippi.
Hattiesburg and the Coast are reached on US-49 south from Jackson. Biloxi and Gulfport take the most planning in hurricane season.

Timing
When to Ship Minnesota to Mississippi
Minnesota winters and Gulf weather set the timing.
Minnesota Winter
From December through March, snow and deep cold can delay a Minnesota pickup a day or more. If a storm is coming, we'll plan around it.
Snowbird Season
October and November are packed with Minnesotans heading south, and April and May bring them home. Book two to three weeks ahead.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay Coast deliveries.
Ole Miss Game Days
Oxford is packed on home football weekends. Weekday delivery is easier.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Minnesota to Mississippi?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Mississippi.
North Mississippi vs. the Coast
Southaven and Oxford come first. Hattiesburg and Biloxi add 300 to 400 miles.
Pickup Location
Rochester saves about 40 miles over the Twin Cities.
Rural Delivery
Country roads and long drives often mean meeting in town.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Mississippi.
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.
Gulf Coast Condos
Beachfront buildings in Biloxi and Gulfport rarely have room for a carrier. Plan to meet on US-90 or at a lot nearby.
Mississippi Registration
Mississippi has no safety or emissions inspection. New residents register with the county tax collector.
Rochester and Southern Minnesota Pickups
Rochester, Mankato, and Owatonna are close to US-52, I-90, and I-35, which saves time on trips south and east. Most streets are easy, though downtown Rochester gets busy and farm addresses on gravel roads usually mean meeting in town.
