Driving is typically the most common way to get anywhere in Mississippi. There are some larger cities that will have a bit of public transportation, like Jackson and Biloxi, but these systems are normally slow, limited, and unreliable. In addition, if you plan on exploring a lot of the state and traveling between cities, you will absolutely need a vehicle to do so. There are some bus options for traveling between large urban areas, but they are few and far between. If you are interested in renting an electric vehicle to reduce your carbon footprint while exploring Mississippi, rest assured that you will have plenty of places to charge it during your trip. The state of Mississippi has spent years ensuring that public electric vehicle charging stations can be found in both urban and rural areas, that way you never need to worry about your battery dying during your road trip.
Driving in Mississippi is usually relatively easy and straightforward. Most of the roads in the state are well paved, but you may occasionally come across a pothole. In larger cities, like the capital of Jackson, there will be congestion on the roads during rush hour, which is usually in the early morning and early evening. In rural parts of the state, roads are not always well lit at night, so always proceed with caution. There also is plenty of wildlife in the countryside, so be on the lookout for animals running across the road, such as deer.
To rent a car in Mississippi, you will need to be a minimum of 21 years old. However, there are certain types of vehicles that you will need to be 25 years old to rent, such as luxury cars and passenger vans.

Your license should not expire before the date that you are scheduled to return your rental. You will also need a major credit card to pay for your rental.
