Mississippi to Missouri Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Mississippi to Missouri
Jackson to St. Louis is about 495 miles, straight up I-55. Southaven to Cape Girardeau is around 155, Southaven to St. Louis about 295, Jackson to Branson close to 450, Springfield roughly 490, Columbia about 620, and Kansas City around 655. Most cars arrive 1 to 2 days after pickup.
Mississippi to Missouri moves are usually job relocations to St. Louis and Kansas City, retirees heading to the Ozarks, and students at Mizzou and the St. Louis universities. I-55 carries trucks constantly. Lake roads and Branson's summer crowds take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Mississippi to Missouri
St. Louis is straight up I-55 from Jackson, through Memphis and the Missouri Bootheel past Cape Girardeau. Columbia and Kansas City are west of St. Louis on I-70.
Branson and Springfield are usually reached through Arkansas on US-65, or across from Memphis on US-60. Ozark lake roads and Branson's summer crowds take the most planning.

Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Missouri
Ozarks crowds and winter ice set the timing.
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.
Ozarks Summer
Branson and Lake of the Ozarks fill up in summer. Weekday delivery is easier.
Missouri Winter
Ice storms can slow trucks a day from December through February.
Spring and Fall
Usually the smoothest windows.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Mississippi to Missouri?
Here's what affects price on a Mississippi to Missouri shipment.
St. Louis vs. Kansas City
St. Louis and the Ozarks come first. Kansas City adds about 160 miles.
Pickup Location
Southaven saves about 200 miles over Jackson.
Lake Roads
Steep, winding drives around the Ozark lakes often mean meeting in town.

Busy Corridor
I-55 carries a lot of trucks, which keeps availability good.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Missouri.
Registering in Missouri
New residents have 30 days to title and register at a license office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN check, and the St. Louis area requires emissions testing. Check dor.mo.gov for current inspection rules.
Branson and Table Rock Lake
Hilly resort roads and lake drives aren't friendly to a loaded carrier. The driver will meet you at a lot on US-65 or in town.
Missouri Emissions
Missouri dropped its safety inspection, but St. Louis-area counties still require emissions testing on most vehicles.
DeSoto County and North Mississippi Pickups
Southaven, Olive Branch, Hernando, and Horn Lake are just south of Memphis on I-55 and I-269, which saves time on trips north and east. Oxford and Tupelo are an hour or two off the interstate. Campus weekends in Oxford and newer HOA neighborhoods in DeSoto County usually mean meeting at a lot nearby.

FAQ
Mississippi to Missouri Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Mississippi to Missouri?
Usually 1 to 2 days after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Mississippi to Missouri?
It depends on your exact addresses, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. Request a quote for a final price, good for 7 days.
Can you deliver to a student at Mizzou?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus in Columbia and avoid game days when possible.
Can you deliver to a lake house in the Ozarks?
Usually to a lot nearby, since many lake drives are too steep for a loaded carrier.
Should I ship or drive from Mississippi to Missouri?
It's a long day of driving or less. If you're moving two cars or buying from a seller, shipping saves a trip.
Can you ship a car from Missouri back to Mississippi?
Yes. Request a quote with your Missouri pickup address and your Mississippi delivery address. It's door-to-door either way.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes. Every carrier we work with is required to carry active cargo insurance. Your car's condition is documented on the Bill of Lading at pickup and checked again at delivery. Personal items left in the vehicle aren't covered.
Do I have to pay upfront?
No. There's $0 due at booking. Once a carrier is assigned, you can pay a deposit and the rest to the driver at delivery by cash or check, or pay in full at that point.
