Instead of flying, we are going to drive for the holidays this year. We haven’t driven the route in ages—how far is it to get from New York City to Boston?

Be sure to plan your drive around that tricky northeast weather around the holidays! The distance between New York City and Boston is 215 miles if you take the fastest route along I-90 E. In fair driving conditions and minimal traffic, you should arrive in roughly 4 hours.
With unpredictable east coast weather and dense city traffic, it’s best to allow yourself some extra time to complete this trip. If you ever need a break,
Hartford
and
New Haven
are two popular cities in Connecticut that are close to halfway along your journey.
Before you head out for your holiday travel, make sure your
car insurance
policy is renewed and up-to-date. If you’re looking to save some money on your insurance,
