Mississippi has no single freight hub, so pricing follows where the car is going rather than where it starts. All ranges are estimates from road miles, then adjusted for the vehicle, your dates and open or enclosed carriage.
Texas. This is the cheapest direction. Dallas to Jackson lists at $351–$501, the reverse Jackson to Dallas at $352–$502, and the nearby Carrollton to Jackson at $361–$516. Going deeper into Texas adds only a little: Waco to Jackson is $391–$559 over 451 miles, and Abilene to Jackson is $462–$660 over 584 miles.
Florida and the Midwest. Cars from Gainesville to Jackson travel 578 miles at $457–$653, from Evansville to Jackson 496 miles at $431–$615, and from Davenport to Jackson 755 miles at $550–$785. South Florida runs such as Coral Springs to Jackson ($629–$899) and Davie to Jackson ($635–$908) are almost the same as each other.
The East. Cary to Jackson is $569–$813, Columbus to Jackson is $576–$823, Akron to Jackson is $635–$908 and Stamford to Jackson is $845–$1,207. Going the other way from the coast, Biloxi to Washington, DC covers 1,026 miles at $704–$1,005, and Philadelphia to Meridian is quoted at the same $704–$1,005.
The West. Albuquerque to Jackson costs $722–$1,032. Phoenix to Jackson is $945–$1,350 and Phoenix to Southaven $924–$1,320. California is the priciest direction: Carlsbad to Jackson is $1,026–$1,466, Corona to Jackson is $1,021–$1,459, Fullerton to Jackson is $1,035–$1,479, Garden Grove to Jackson is $1,036–$1,481 and Los Angeles to Jackson is $1,043–$1,490.
Reversing a route rarely changes the quote by more than a few dollars. Within a range, the position depends on the pickup: Jackson, Pearl and Clinton are on the Interstate 55 and 20 corridor and are easy to serve, but plantation roads in the Delta, small Pine Belt towns or Gulf Coast neighborhoods that flooded in the past may need a meeting point. Oversized trucks, non-running cars and enclosed trailers cost more. Very short moves, such as Jackson to Memphis or Meridian to Atlanta, are quoted individually.
Because the Delta, the Pine Belt and the Gulf Coast are far apart, a driver may spend hours getting to a rural address, and that distance is what pushes some quotes toward the upper end of a range. If you can deliver the car to a larger town on an interstate, such as Jackson, Hattiesburg, Meridian or Tupelo, mention it when you ask for a quote.

Mississippi Car Shipping by Region
Jackson and the Capital Area
Jackson is the state's largest market and the junction of Interstates 20 and 55. Clinton to the west and Pearl to the east have wide suburban streets and are simple for a full-size carrier. Jackson State University and Mississippi College in Clinton add student traffic in August and May.
Cities 3The Gulf Coast
Gulfport, Biloxi and Pascagoula run along Interstate 10 and U.S. 90. Keesler Air Force Base is in Biloxi, the Naval Construction Battalion Center is in Gulfport, the Port of Gulfport handles cargo, and Ingalls Shipbuilding is a major employer in Pascagoula, so base and shipyard moves are common. Plan around hurricane season and casino-weekend traffic.
Cities 3The Pine Belt
Hattiesburg, Petal and Laurel sit on U.S. 49, Interstate 59 and U.S. 98 in the south of the state. The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg drives student demand, and Camp Shelby, a large National Guard training installation near Hattiesburg, sends soldiers through on rotation. Streets in older neighborhoods are narrow, so lots help.
Cities 3DeSoto County and the Memphis Suburbs
Southaven and Olive Branch are suburbs of Memphis, and many local shipments move through the Memphis freight network along Interstates 55 and 269. Subdivisions are large and the roads wide, so loading is usually easy. Moves to and from Tennessee and the Northeast are common.
Cities 2Tupelo, Starkville and East Mississippi
Tupelo lies on U.S. 78 and Interstate 22 toward Birmingham, Starkville is home to Mississippi State University, and Meridian is the crossing of Interstates 20 and 59. Student moves peak in August and May. Smaller towns around them may call for a meeting point on the main highway.
Cities 3The Delta and the River
Greenville on the Mississippi River and Vicksburg on the bluffs anchor the west. Delta roads are flat and straight but farm lanes are narrow, and spring river levels can close low-lying roads. Vicksburg sits on Interstate 20 and is easy for trucks heading to Jackson or Louisiana.
Cities 2How Long Does Car Shipping to or from Mississippi Take?
Most Mississippi shipments finish quickly because the state sits between Texas, Memphis, Birmingham and New Orleans. The shortest lanes in our data run 1–2 days: Dallas to Jackson, Jackson to Dallas, Carrollton to Jackson, Waco to Jackson, Abilene to Jackson, Gainesville to Jackson and Evansville to Jackson. Lincoln to Jackson, Davenport to Jackson, Coral Springs to Jackson and Albuquerque to Jackson take 2–3 days. Stamford to Jackson needs 2–4 days, Carlsbad to Jackson needs 4–7 days, and Los Angeles to Jackson needs 5–8 days.
Behind those figures, driver assignment usually takes one to three business days. Three highways carry most of the trucks: Interstate 55 from Memphis through Jackson to New Orleans, Interstate 20 from Vicksburg through Jackson and Meridian toward Atlanta, and Interstate 59 from Meridian through Hattiesburg to the Gulf. On the coast, Interstate 10 links Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula, and U.S. 49 joins Jackson to the coast.
Weather is the main source of variation: a tropical system can close coastal roads for days, spring thunderstorms can cause delays on Interstate 20 and 55, and the occasional winter ice event slows traffic for a day. Delays at the pickup address matter too, since rural lanes can be too tight for a full carrier, and a nearby parking lot usually solves the problem.
Delivery in small towns can take an extra day because the driver must leave the interstate and return. Give a phone number that will be answered, and name a second person who can accept the car if you are traveling. Drivers cannot wait long, especially in summer heat, so be ready at the agreed time.
Pickup is usually scheduled within a 1–3 business day window after booking; transit time depends on the distance.
| Zone | Transit |
|---|---|
| Texas & South Central | 1–2 days |
| Southeast & Florida | 1–3 days |
| Great Lakes & Ohio Valley | 1–3 days |
| Northeast & New England | 2–4 days |
| Mountain West & Southwest | 2–5 days |
| West Coast & Pacific Northwest | 4–9 days |
When to Ship: Mississippi Seasonality
- Hurricane season, June through November The Gulf Coast can close roads and ports ahead of a tropical storm, and evacuations push traffic north on Interstates 55 and 59. Book coastal pickups outside the peak weeks of August to October when you can, and keep a flexible date. Never ask a driver to load in an evacuation zone.
- Storm and ice season, December through May Severe thunderstorms and tornado watches are common in spring, and an occasional ice storm can lock up the northern half of the state for a day. These events seldom cancel a pickup, but they can move it by a day.
- Summer moving season Families relocate after the school year and base transfers peak, so trucks fill earlier. Heat is a concern for loading times, and drivers often start early. Reserve a couple of weeks ahead if your date is firm.
- College move-in, August and May The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi State University in Starkville, Jackson State University, Mississippi College in Clinton and the University of Mississippi in Oxford send students and their cars across the country. Dorm streets are blocked on move-in days, so offer a nearby lot.
Open vs Enclosed Car Shipping in Mississippi
Humid air, salt spray near the coast and summer sun are hard on paint, which is why some Mississippi owners prefer a closed trailer for a collector car, a restored truck, a new luxury vehicle or a dealer-bound sports car. Enclosed carriage costs more and fewer trucks serve small towns, so reserve early for Delta and Pine Belt addresses. Most daily drivers go on an open rig, which is the cheaper default. Details are on our pages for enclosed transport and open transport.
Ask the dispatcher whether the trailer has a lift gate and whether the car will travel alone or with others. Collectors often prefer a dedicated truck for a vehicle with sensitive paint or a rare model, which costs more but reduces handling.
Jackson and Central Mississippi: Routes in Detail
Jackson is the point where most of the lanes in our data start or end. The busiest pairs run to Texas: Dallas to Jackson and Jackson to Dallas, followed by Waco to Jackson, Abilene to Jackson and Carrollton to Jackson. Florida owners use Gainesville to Jackson, Coral Springs to Jackson and Davie to Jackson. Local pages cover Jackson, Clinton, Pearl and Hattiesburg.
On pickup day the driver calls ahead, walks around the car with you and notes scratches or dents on a condition report. You sign the same sheet at delivery, so photograph the vehicle beforehand and keep a copy. Remove belongings and keep little fuel in the tank. We can send proof of coverage before loading.
Jackson sits at the junction of two interstates, so carriers going between Dallas and Atlanta or between Memphis and New Orleans pass nearby. That traffic is why a flexible pickup window of a few days often produces a match with little detour. Cars from the Pearl and Clinton suburbs usually load on the same trip as Jackson cars.
Gulf Coast, Military and Shipyard Moves
Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport, Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg and Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula bring regular date-driven moves. If you hold orders, give us the report date up front. Routes from the coast in our data include Biloxi to Washington, DC (1,026 miles, $704–$1,005, 2–3 days), Biloxi to Atlanta (388 miles, $353–$504, 1–2 days), Denver to Gulfport (1,351 miles, $889–$1,270) and Denver to Biloxi ($901–$1,287).
Pickups in Gulfport, Biloxi and Pascagoula are usually easy outside hurricane season. During storm watches, drivers avoid evacuation zones, so keep your dates open and tell us if a closure affects your street.
Coastal cars face salt air and humidity, so rinse the car before pickup and take clear photos so that dirt is not confused with damage. After a hurricane, roads, bridges and gas supply may be limited for days, so confirm with the dispatcher before a driver heads toward the coast.
North Mississippi, Memphis Suburbs and Student Moves
Southaven and Olive Branch tie into the Memphis network. From the Northeast, New York to Southaven covers 1,102 miles for $748–$1,069 over 2–4 days, and Southaven to New York is $749–$1,070. Phoenix to Southaven is 1,435 miles and $924–$1,320. Pages for Southaven, Olive Branch and Tupelo give local detail.
Students at Mississippi State in Starkville, Southern Miss in Hattiesburg and the University of Mississippi in Oxford ship cars in August and May. Ask for delivery to a lot near campus, give a flexible window and let a parent or friend sign if you cannot be there. Cars leaving Meridian for the East Coast are priced like the reverse of Philadelphia to Meridian, $704–$1,005.
North Mississippi sees more traffic than the rest of the state because it is next to Memphis. A car in Olive Branch or Southaven may be picked up by a driver already working a Memphis load, which often speeds the match. Tupelo and Starkville are farther from the interstate system, so allow an extra day for scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Mississippi estimates start at $351–$501 for Dallas to Jackson and reach $1,043–$1,490 for Los Angeles to Jackson, with Evansville to Jackson at $431–$615 and Albuquerque to Jackson at $722–$1,032. They are based on road miles. The final price depends on the vehicle, your dates and open or enclosed service, and a free quote gives the exact number.
Plan on 1–2 days on the road. Jackson to Dallas covers 405 miles at $352–$502, and Waco to Jackson covers 451 miles. A carrier is usually assigned within one to three business days of booking. A storm on Interstate 20 or 55 may add a day.
Yes, but the Gulf Coast needs flexibility. Trucks stop loading when a storm approaches and evacuation traffic can fill Interstates 55 and 59. Give a pickup window of several days, avoid the peak weeks from August to October when possible, and never arrange loading inside an evacuation zone.
Yes. Share your report date and both addresses when you request a quote, and we will plan a pickup that leaves room for delivery. Base gates can slow access, so the dispatcher may suggest a public lot close by. Transit times are estimates, so leave a day of buffer.
Yes. Demand peaks in August and May, so book early and offer a flexible window. We can deliver to a lot near campus when dorm streets are closed, and a trusted adult can sign the condition report if the student cannot be there.
It can be. Enclosed trailers shield paint from salt spray, humidity, sun and road debris, which suits classic, luxury and new cars, but they cost more and fewer trucks run them. An open carrier remains the standard choice for everyday vehicles.
Yes, we offer door-to-door auto transport, meaning the carrier will pick up and deliver your vehicle as close to your specified locations as possible. In some cases, due to narrow streets or local restrictions, you may need to meet the carrier at a nearby location.
While we expect carriers to deliver all vehicles without damage, accidents can happen. It is important for customers to inspect their vehicles upon receipt. If damage is noticed, customers should contact our office asap. Damage should be documented on the “Bill of Lading” received from the driver. If a report is not made in a timely manner we will not be able to assist you with the damage.
All our carriers are fully licensed, insured, and vetted to meet federal and state regulations. We work only with professional, experienced transporters to ensure the safe delivery of your vehicle.
Customer Testimonials
“I contacted Freedom Auto Transport under short notice and they delivered. Got my vehicle picked up in Dallas, TX the same day, it took about 3 days to get delivered. Driver contacted me prior to arrival on both ends and was very friendly. Very easy to do business with. Thanks again.”
“I wanted to share my experience dealing with Freedom Auto Transport. Could not have gone any smoother. Called up Tuesday morning, had my vehicle picked up and on a trailer the very next day! Wow! Everyone I spoke to at Freedom was extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with my experience and would 10000% recommend Freedom to anyone that needs auto transport service. Thanks again..”
“Freedom was great, Dan S. with Freedom was the only carrier who could deliver on the dates I needed. I contacted several transporters, the prices and dates changed every 5 minutes. Dan was very helpful every step of the way, and extremely reasonable! I will use these guys from this point forward, make one call and it’s a done deal! Thanks Dan!”
Freedom Auto Transport runs a solid operation. Dorian is the reason I chose this carrier even though I had all but agreed to work with a different hauler. He was fast to return my calls, texted frequently, and used all his contacts to arrange a quick turnaround on the 4Runner I shipped. He almost managed to get a same day pick-up but the dealership I was working with couldn’t complete the paperwork in time for an evening pick up. Easy paperwork/signatures. No heavy sales pitch. Just familiarity with how the industry works, good relationships to leverage, and the urgency to help. I think he really feels good knowing he’s helping to deliver something meaningful to others. Ive used different companies each time I’ve shipped a vehicle but the next time I need a car or truck shipped, I want to work with Dorian. Cheers!
