Tennessee to Mississippi Auto Transport
Shipping a Car From Tennessee to Mississippi
Nashville to Jackson is about 420 miles, across West Tennessee and down I-55. Memphis to Oxford is around 75, Tupelo about 110, Starkville close to 165, Madison roughly 200, and Memphis to Jackson around 210. Most cars arrive the same day or the day after pickup.
Tennessee to Mississippi moves are usually families moving across the state line, job relocations to Jackson and North Mississippi, and students at Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Carriers run I-55 every day, so a few days of notice is plenty.

Timing
When to Ship Tennessee to Mississippi
Spring storms and game days set the timing.
Nashville Traffic
Rush hour on I-24, I-40, and I-65 around Nashville can add hours to a pickup. Drivers time their run around it.
Spring Storms
From March through May, severe weather across Middle and West Tennessee can hold a truck a few hours.
Game Days
Oxford and Starkville fill up on fall Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.
Summer
Usually the smoothest window, though afternoon storms can slow things down.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Tennessee to Mississippi?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Mississippi.
Short Haul
Short trips still need a full carrier, so per-mile cost runs higher.
North vs. Central Mississippi
Oxford and Tupelo come first. Jackson adds about 100 to 135 miles.
Pickup Location
Memphis is closest. Nashville adds about 210 miles.
Rural Delivery
Country roads and long drives often mean meeting in town.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is worth it for a classic or a high-end car.
Lead Time
A few days of notice is usually enough on this lane.
Your Quote Is Your Final Price
Your quote is your final price, good for 7 days, with nothing due until a carrier is assigned.

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.
Oxford Square
Streets around the Square and campus are packed on game weekends. Pick a weekday and a nearby lot.
Rural Roads
Gravel and narrow country roads aren't safe for a loaded carrier after rain. Plan to meet in town.
Memphis Pickups
Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, and Bartlett are reached on I-40, I-55, I-240, and I-269, right where the routes west and south split. Midtown streets are tight, so the driver may meet you near the interstate.

FAQ
Tennessee to Mississippi Car Shipping FAQs
How long does it take to ship a car from Tennessee to Mississippi?
Usually the same day or the day after pickup.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Tennessee to Mississippi?
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.
Why ship a car such a short distance?
It usually makes sense for a classic car, several cars, a car that doesn't run, or when you're flying.
Can you deliver to a student at Ole Miss or Mississippi State?
Yes. We'll set up a meeting spot near campus and avoid game days when possible.
Should I ship or drive from Tennessee to Mississippi?
For most moves, driving is simpler. Shipping makes sense for a classic car, several cars, or a car that doesn't run.
Can you ship a car from Mississippi back to Tennessee?
Yes. Request a quote with your Mississippi pickup address and your Tennessee 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.
