How far is Miami from Houston if you're driving?
I’ve never been to Miami before, but it’s at the top of my bucket list. I was thinking of taking a road trip. I’m not sure how far it is, though. How long does it take to drive to Miami from Houston?

Miami is a world-class city with a vibe all its own, so naturally, it finds its way onto many bucket lists. Miami is 1,200 miles from Houston if you’re driving. It will take about 17 hours to get there by car.
The distance between Houston and Miami is deceptive. If it seems like it should be closer, that’s because you have to go all the way around the Gulf of Mexico to drive there.
Your best bet is to break up your trip into three days. Not only will this make you more attentive behind the wheel, but you can also enjoy a few
great stops
along the way.Here are some fun ideas:
- Grab a po’boy from the famous Old Tyme Grocery in Lafayette, Louisiana.
- Try your luck at one of the many casinos in Biloxi, Mississippi.
- Dive into the beautiful waters or enjoy the sunset on Florida’s Emerald Coast.
- Go to Universal Studios or Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
- And when you arrive in Miami, make sure you absolutely, positively go straight to Little Havana to get a Cuban sandwich.
Before your road trip, make sure that you’re protected by proper car insurance. That’s when the
