Sounds like you’ve got a
gorgeous trip down the coastline
in the making—I’m jealous!
Miami
is not too far from
Fort Lauderdale
, and the drive should only take around 45 minutes on I-95.
The length of the trip could vary depending on your preferences when driving. Check the following route options with their respective average route times:
  • I-95 S Express (fastest with tolls): 45 minutes
  • I-95 S Local (avoids tolls): 50 minutes
  • US 1 S/Florida A1A S (avoids highways with a coastline view): 1 hour, 35 minutes
Beach traffic can get bad along the coastline, but rush hour traffic shouldn’t have much effect on these interstate driving times.
Make sure you’re prepared for anything on your trip with a
plan for roadside emergencies
. Not only is

a great option for finding affordable car insurance, but their roadside assistance plan includes up to 10 miles of towing, jumpstarts, key replacement, fuel delivery, and more—all for just $6.99 for one car.
