How far is Canada from New York driving?

My best friends and I want to go on a trip to Canada from New York City for a few days just in time for spring break. We were wondering, how long is the drive to Canada from New York?

Happy spring break! The total distance from New York to Canada will differ depending on where you are going in Canada—it’s a big country! Toronto is about 490 miles away from
New York City
, and the driving time is just under 8 hours, depending on traffic. Montreal is about 370 miles from NYC, and the driving time is about 6 hours.
Here are some tips to keep in mind as you plan your spring break road trip:
  • Be sure to pack your essentials, including your passports
  • Have an
    emergency car kit
    readily available in case of any situation that may arise
  • Take plenty of breaks when driving long distances as it’s important to be as aware and awake as possible when behind the wheel
  • Consider adding
    roadside assistance
    to your car insurance policy so that you will be protected in the event that your car breaks down
