Montana to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Montana to Mississippi
Billings to Jackson is about 1,670 miles, across the plains and down through Memphis. Southaven is around 1,470, Oxford about 1,535, Tupelo close to 1,565, Hattiesburg roughly 1,760, and Gulfport around 1,825. Most cars arrive 5 to 6 days after pickup.
Montana to Mississippi moves are usually families moving closer to relatives, snowbirds wintering on the Gulf Coast, and students at Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Few trucks run this lane directly, so lead time matters. Montana winters at pickup take the most planning.

The Route
How Cars Get From Montana to Mississippi
Carriers take I-90 east from Billings to Sioux Falls and I-29 to Kansas City, then cross the Ozarks to Memphis. I-55 runs straight down from there through Southaven to Jackson.
Oxford and Tupelo branch off in North Mississippi, and Hattiesburg and the Coast are south of Jackson on US-49.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Montana to Mississippi
Montana winters and the snowbird calendar set the timing.
Montana Winter
From November through March, snow on the passes and in the mountain valleys can push a pickup back a day or more. We'll plan around the forecast.
Snowbird Season
October and November fill up with Montanans heading south for the winter, and April and May bring them home. Book two to three 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 Montana to Mississippi?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Mississippi.
Distance
At 1,450 to 1,850 miles, this is a long multi-day haul.
Less-Traveled Lane
Few trucks run Montana to Mississippi directly, so flexible dates help.
North Mississippi vs. the Coast
Southaven and Oxford come first. Hattiesburg and Gulfport add 290 to 355 miles.
Pickup Location
Billings is on the interstate. Bozeman adds about 140 miles.
Open or Enclosed
Enclosed keeps winter road grime off a nicer car.
Lead Time
Two or three weeks of notice gives us the best shot at your date.

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.
Billings and Eastern Montana Pickups
Billings and Laurel sit right on I-90 and I-94, which makes them the easiest pickups in the state. Older neighborhoods near downtown and the Heights have narrow streets, and ranch addresses farther out are usually on gravel. If your road won't work, the driver will meet you at a lot near I-90.
