How far is it driving from Florida to Texas?

I’d really like to move out to Florida in the next couple of months, but I still have a lot of friends and family living here in Texas. If I wanted to drive to visit on occasion, how far would that generally be? How far is driving from Florida to Texas?

It’s always difficult to make that decision to move when your friends and family can’t come with you. But we are fortunate to have highways to reach each other, as long as you’ve got the patience to drive. The driving distance from
Florida
to
Texas
will depend on which cities you are traveling between, but here’s the distance in generic terms:
  • State-line (near
    Pensacola
    ) to state-line (near
    Beaumont
    )—407 miles, around six hours
  • Mid-state (Avon Park) to mid-state (Winters)—1,366 miles, around 20 hours and 30 minutes
As you can tell, the driving distance between these two states can vary dramatically. If you’re worried about how frequently you’ll be able to make it out to your friends and family, you may want to consider settling somewhere in the Florida Panhandle, where you’ll have less of Florida to climb up through to get back to Texas.
No matter where you decide to land, you’ll want to make sure your car is well-insured for the road trips to Texas ahead—
