Missouri to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Missouri to Mississippi
St. Louis to Jackson is about 495 miles, straight down I-55. Southaven is around 295, Oxford about 360, Tupelo close to 390, Kansas City to Southaven roughly 455, St. Louis to Hattiesburg about 585, and Gulfport around 650. Most cars arrive 1 to 3 days after pickup.
Missouri to Mississippi moves are usually families moving closer to relatives, students at Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Southern Miss, and snowbirds wintering on the Gulf Coast. I-55 carries trucks constantly. Game days and coastal storms take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Missouri to Mississippi
Mississippi is straight down I-55 from St. Louis, through the Bootheel and Memphis into Southaven and on to Jackson. Oxford branches off on MS-7, and Tupelo is east of Memphis on I-22.
Hattiesburg and the Coast are reached on US-49 south from Jackson. Kansas City loads cross the Ozarks to Memphis first.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Missouri to Mississippi
Missouri ice and Gulf weather set the timing.
Missouri Winter
Ice is a bigger risk than snow in Missouri. From December through February, an ice storm can push a pickup back a day.
Snowbird Season
October and November are busy with Missourians heading south for the winter, and March and April bring them home. Book two 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 Missouri 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 Gulfport add 290 to 355 miles.
Pickup Location
St. Louis is about 160 miles closer than Kansas City.
Rural Delivery
Country roads and long drives often mean meeting in town.

Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.

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 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.
St. Louis Area Pickups
Older St. Louis neighborhoods like Soulard, The Hill, Lafayette Square, and the Central West End have narrow brick streets and tight parking that a full-size car hauler can't fit. Suburbs like Chesterfield, Kirkwood, St. Charles, and O'Fallon are usually easier, though many subdivisions restrict big trucks. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a lot near I-64, I-70, or I-270.
