Top Rated Moving Companies in Mississippi (2025 Guide)

Top Movers by City in Mississippi

• Biloxi
• Gulfport
• Jackson

• Track record and reviews: Past customer experiences — online or from friends — can help reveal how a company truly operates.
• Services that fit your move: Consider what kind of help you need—whether it’s full-service moving with packing and unpacking, or simply someone to handle the heavy lifting. Double-check that the company offers exactly the services you’re looking for.
• Licensing and insurance status: Make sure your mover has the proper permits to operate in the Magnolia State and is fully insured to cover any potential damage or loss. While we only feature movers who meet these standards, you can double-check a company’s credentials anytime through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) database.
• Flexibility in scheduling: Pick a mover that’s flexible enough to handle last-minute changes without charging you extra. Whether you need to reschedule or add services on the fly, that kind of adaptability makes your move a whole lot easier.
• Transparent pricing: Choose movers that provide straightforward, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Get quotes from at least three different companies to get a solid sense of what a fair price looks like.
• Familiarity with the area: Choosing a mover who knows Mississippi inside and out can make your move a breeze, especially if you’re dealing with heavy traffic or complicated routes.
• Professional tools and teams: A top-notch moving company comes equipped with up-to-date gear and skilled, friendly movers. Having a polite, organized crew can turn a stressful moving day into a smooth experience.

• Plan your move to avoid traffic congestion. Traffic in Jackson can be a hassle, so aim for midday hours.
• Get familiar with your surroundings early. Visiting local businesses or walking the block can help you adjust more quickly.
• Prepare for weather surprises. Mississippi experiences a humid subtropical climate with long, hot, humid summers and short, mild winters. Summer temperatures are fairly consistent across the state, but in winter, areas near Mississippi Sound are warmer than inland regions. Late summer and fall bring a higher risk of hurricanes from the Gulf of Mexico, particularly in the south. Thunderstorms are frequent in Mississippi, especially in the southern part. The state averages about 27 tornadoes each year; the north sees more tornadoes early in the year, while the south sees more later. If moving during the summer, remember to check your local weather forecast. Have tarps, umbrellas, or extra gear ready just in case.
• Include seasonal items in your essentials kit. Whether it’s sunscreen or gloves, match your gear to the current weather.
• Remember to hydrate and rest as you go. Moving can be physically intense, so break up the work and drink plenty of water.
• Research any town-specific moving rules. Some places in Mississippi require permits or limit truck parking — better to know in advance.
• Keep high-value items in your personal vehicle. Things like passports, cash, and electronics are safer when you transport them yourself.

• Pricing and payment options: Transparent pricing is a major factor. We assess whether companies offer flat-rate pricing and binding estimates to help customers avoid unexpected fees and stay within budget. We also look for multiple payment options (credit card, cash, and check).
• Services: We examine a company’s packages to see which services come standard and which ones come at an added cost, helping customers find the most comprehensive services at the most affordable rate.
• Customer feedback: We analyze online reviews from consumer review sites like the BBB, Yelp, Trustpilot, and Google and look for common praises and complaints.
• Reputation: A company’s reputation is crucial. We look at industry ratings, compliance with regulations, and whether they carry sufficient insurance to protect customers’ belongings.
• Add-on options: We evaluate optional services that carry an extra fee — like fragile-only packing, custom crates, and specialized handling of electronics — can make a move easier, especially if they’re not commonly offered by other companies.
• State availability: The number of states a company serves is key. Companies with a national reach are ranked higher than those within just the contiguous U.S. or with more limited availability.
• Ease of scheduling: We give higher ratings to companies that offer straightforward and accessible scheduling options to get things moving quickly.
