Home to close to 50,000 residents, Hattiesburg is between two counties: Forrest and Lamar. It was named in honor of William H. Hardy’s wife; he founded the area in the late 1800s. It is a diverse region with a strong sense of community and stunning natural scenery, as is the case in much of this southern state.

This is where the University of Southern Mississippi is located as well as the William Carey University campus. A National Guard training unit is located here and the town is rich with Civil Rights history, as several marches, sit-ins, and protests were held here. Several manufacturing companies have offices and/or headquarters here, in part because of its proximity to several important Southeastern locales.

Using Vehicle Transit Firms

When you are looking to book ride transit services, keep a few key tips in mind:

Save money with terminal hauling: You can save a great deal on transport services if you just shift to the nearest terminal. However, should you opt for this choice, keep in mind that you will need to pick up your vehicle upon arrival at your destination.
Door-to-door hauling may not be an option: Your final destination simply may be too far from the company’s nearest outpost, so depending on where you are traveling, you may need to pick up your vehicle anyway.
Choose enclosed moving for custom vehicles: If you have a lot of upgrades to your vehicle, then you might want to utilize enclosed or container dispatching to move it. This ensures that your vehicle is not exposed to the elements during conveyance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Hattiesburg, MS?

Shipping a car to or from Hattiesburg typically costs between $600 and $1,000 for shorter regional trips and $1,200–$1,600 for cross-country routes. Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, transport method (open vs. enclosed), and current fuel rates. Open carriers are the most cost-effective, while enclosed carriers provide extra protection for high-value or classic vehicles. For detailed estimates, see our car shipping cost guide.

What’s the best time of year to ship a car from Hattiesburg?

The best months to ship from Hattiesburg are spring and early fall, when demand and carrier traffic are balanced. Summer sees higher prices due to moving season, while winter weather in northern states can slow deliveries. Booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance ensures carrier availability at better rates.

How long does auto transport take to or from Hattiesburg?

Most Hattiesburg car shipments within the Southeast arrive in 1–3 days, while coast-to-coast deliveries usually take 5–9 days. Factors like weather, carrier availability, and rural drop-off points can affect timing. Door-to-door delivery provides faster scheduling compared to terminal shipping; learn more about our door-to-door transport service.

Are vehicles insured during transport from Hattiesburg?

Yes. All licensed car shipping companies are required by the FMCSA to carry liability and cargo insurance. Customers should confirm coverage amounts before booking. You can also review A1 Auto Transport’s coverage options on our auto transport insurance guide for full details.

Is Hattiesburg accessible for large auto transport carriers?

Yes, Hattiesburg’s proximity to I-59 and U.S. Highways 49 and 98 makes it easy for carriers to reach both local neighborhoods and surrounding areas like Laurel and Gulfport. However, enclosed carriers or oversized trailers may require meeting in nearby open lots for safe loading. Local accessibility helps reduce delays and improves pickup coordination.

Can I ship an inoperable vehicle from Hattiesburg?

Absolutely. Non-running vehicles can be shipped using winch-equipped carriers or hydraulic lift systems. Expect an additional $100–$200 fee to cover special handling. Be sure to inform your carrier in advance so they can send the right equipment. Visit our inoperable vehicle transport page for preparation steps.
