How far is the drive from New Jersey to Connecticut?

I’m going to Connecticut for college! The only problem is that I don’t know if that means I’ll be able to come home on the weekends. How far is the drive from New Jersey to Connecticut?

Congratulations on getting accepted to
college
—this is a major milestone! Of course, getting ready for this phase of life comes with a lot of questions, but you can rest assured of one thing: you’ll certainly be able to visit home on the weekends. This is because the trip between New Jersey and Connecticut will likely take one to four hours, depending on where you start and end your drive in each state:
  • Newark to Stamford: 1 hour
  • Trenton to New Haven: 2 hours, 30 minutes
  • Atlantic City to Hartford: 3 hours, 50 minutes
As always when talking about a multi-hour trip, some factors could add significant time to your drive:
  • Weather—rain, snow, and even high winds can have you slowing down to stay safe
  • Traffic—leaving for or arriving at your destination during peak traffic hours can leave you sitting at a stand-still
  • Road conditions—construction zones and detours can turn a short drive into a multi-hour slog
In the end, taking the time to check on the current condition of your route can save you a lot of headaches. Unfortunately, you can’t plan for everything, so you’ll also want to make sure your car insurance is providing you with enough protection while not bleeding you dry. If that means you need to find another car insurance policy, don’t worry—the
