How far is it driving to Fort Lauderdale from Orlando?

My family’s going on a big trip to Disney World for spring break, but I wanted to see a little more of Florida while we’re down there. How far is it driving to Fort Lauderdale from Orlando? Is it doable in a day?

What an exciting vacation for your family—you’re going to Disney World! Driving to
Fort Lauderdale
from
Orlando
is definitely a doable side trip, too. It’s about 212 miles to get there one-way, which comes to a little over three hours driving time.
If you can manage it, you may want to spend a day or so down there just to break up the trip a little. But if you’re someone who enjoys long car rides, you could probably swing by Fort Lauderdale for a day—just plan to be driving for at least six or seven hours total.
Since you’re likely renting a car for your
Florida
excursion, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got
rental car coverage
on your insurance plan.
