Mississippi to New York Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Mississippi to New York
Jackson to New York City is about 1,185 miles, up I-81 and across on I-78. Southaven to New York City is around 1,085, Jackson to Buffalo about 1,135, Brooklyn close to 1,195, Huntington on Long Island roughly 1,225, Syracuse about 1,260, and Albany around 1,285. Most cars arrive 3 to 4 days after pickup.
Mississippi to New York moves are usually job relocations to the city and Long Island, students at the upstate colleges, and New Yorkers heading home after a winter on the Coast. It's two very different trips depending on the city or upstate. City parking and upstate snow take the most planning.

Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to New York
City traffic and upstate winters set the timing.
Spring Trip Home
March and April fill up with snowbirds leaving the Mississippi Gulf Coast for home. Book two weeks ahead.
Lake-Effect Snow
Buffalo and Syracuse get heavy snow off the Great Lakes. It can slow deliveries a day.
City Traffic
Bridges and tunnels into the city back up badly. Drivers time deliveries for early morning.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to New York.
Registering in New York
New residents have 30 days to register with the NY DMV. New York requires an annual safety inspection, and most vehicles also need an emissions check. Check dmv.ny.gov for current requirements.
New York City Delivery
Carriers can't stop on most Manhattan and Brooklyn streets. Plan to meet at a lot in New Jersey, Queens, or near a highway exit.
New York Inspection
New York requires a yearly safety and emissions inspection once your car is registered.
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.
