The trip follows the river most of the way. Spring timing and Minnesota winters take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Mississippi to Minnesota
Carriers take I-55 north through Memphis to St. Louis, then follow the Mississippi upriver on US-61 and cut over to I-35 through Iowa, or run up through Des Moines straight into the Twin Cities. Rochester sits just off US-52 south of St. Paul.
Duluth is another two and a half hours north on I-35. Minnesota winters at delivery take the most planning.

Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Minnesota
The snowbird calendar and Minnesota winters set the timing.

Minnesota Winter
From December through March, snow and deep cold can delay a Twin Cities delivery a day or more.
Summer
Easy to schedule on both ends.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Minnesota.
Registering in Minnesota
New residents have 60 days to title and register with Driver and Vehicle Services. Minnesota doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs for current requirements.
Twin Cities Streets
Older neighborhoods like Uptown and Northeast have narrow streets and winter snow emergency rules. Plan to meet at a lot or wider road.
Minnesota Registration
Minnesota has no safety or emissions inspection. New residents title and register at a deputy registrar office.
Gulf Coast Pickups
Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, and Bay St. Louis are close to I-10, which keeps trips east and west moving. Beachfront condos and US-90 traffic make curbside pickups hard, and hurricane season can shift dates. The driver will usually meet you at a lot near I-10.
