How far is Fort Myers from Orlando driving?

I usually take my family on a beach trip every summer. We typically go to Clearwater Beach since it’s closer to our home in Orlando, but we’ve heard great things about Fort Myers and want to try it out this year. How far is the drive from Orlando to Fort Myers?

driving will take anywhere from three hours and 15 minutes to almost four hours, depending on which route you take and current traffic conditions:
  • FL-31 S (3 hours and 17 minutes, 169 miles): This is the fastest route, but it does require you to drive on some toll roads.
  • US-27 S (about 4 hours, 171 miles): This is the route to take if you want to avoid tolled routes.
