How far is North Carolina from New York driving?

I just got a job in North Carolina, but I currently live in New York City. The job itself is in Charlotte and I want to make plans to move all of my stuff down. How long does it take to drive to North Carolina from New York?

Congrats on the new job! Fortunately, North Carolina is only about 9.5 hours and a little over 625 miles driving if you’re traveling from New York City to Charlotte.
If you have a few extra days to drive down, you could turn it into a legitimate
road trip
by splitting the trek into two days and enjoying some of the sites along the way. Here are a few fun things to do between the Big Apple and Queen City:
  • Soak in some history, grab a beer, and get some great seafood at Fell’s Point in Baltimore, Maryland.
  • See what life was like 200 years ago by taking a stroll through Old Town in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
  • Grab a taste of home at the New York Deli in Richmond, Virginia, which has been in operation since 1929.
  • Explore the campus of Duke University and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Raleigh, North Carolina.
While you’re undoubtedly excited about the next chapter of your life, don’t forget to switch your car insurance over to
North Carolina
once you arrive in your new state.
