Mississippi to Alabama Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Mississippi to Alabama
Jackson to Birmingham is about 245 miles, a one-day run on I-20/I-59. Gulfport to Mobile is around 70, Biloxi to Gulf Shores about 110, Jackson to Tuscaloosa close to 190, Southaven to Huntsville roughly 220, Jackson to Montgomery about 250, Auburn around 300, and Huntsville near 345. Most cars arrive 1 to 2 days after pickup.
Mississippi to Alabama moves are usually families crossing the state line for work in Birmingham and Huntsville, students heading to Alabama and Auburn, and Coast residents buying beach places in Baldwin County. It's a short run with trucks on it every day. Game days and beach traffic take the most planning.

Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Alabama
On a short run, timing comes down to weather and the calendar.
Gulf Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm on the Coast can push back pickups in Gulfport and Biloxi. We'll watch the forecast and plan around it.
Mississippi Summer
Summer heat and afternoon storms rarely stop a carrier, but plan to be on hand at pickup so your car isn't sitting in the sun.
Game Days
Tuscaloosa and Auburn are packed on home football weekends. Weekday delivery is easier.
Beach Season
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach fill up from spring break through Labor Day.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Mississippi to Alabama?
Here's what decides the price on a short trip to Alabama.
Pickup Location
Gulfport and Biloxi are closest to Mobile. Southaven is closest to Huntsville. Jackson is central.
Short Distance
Short trips cost more per mile, but the total is low.
Beach Condos
Gulf Shores towers often mean meeting at a lot on AL-59.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is available for classics.
Busy Corridors
I-20, I-10, and I-22 carry a lot of trucks, which keeps availability good.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Alabama.
Registering in Alabama
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county license office. Alabama doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check revenue.alabama.gov for current requirements.
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach
Beachfront condos rarely have room for a carrier. Plan to meet on AL-59 or at a lot nearby.
Campus Deliveries
Tuscaloosa and Auburn are tight around campus. Pick a lot nearby and a weekday if you can.
Jackson Metro Pickups
Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Brandon, and Flowood sit right on I-55 and I-20, which makes pickups straightforward. Older Jackson neighborhoods like Fondren and Belhaven have narrow, tree-lined streets, and many suburban subdivisions restrict big trucks. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a lot near I-55 or I-20.
