How long does it take to drive from Indiana to California?

We’re planning a road trip from our home state of Indiana to California this summer, but should we break up the drive over a few days, or try to power through it? How far is Indiana from California by car?

That sounds like a fun trip! California is a great state to travel to, and there’s no shortage of things to see and do once you get there.
You’ll have plenty of chances to take in the sights along the way as well.
The total driving distance between
Indiana
and California is 2,197 miles, and that’s border to border. That can equate to just over 36 hours of driving, so be sure to break it up over a few days.
While you’re on the road, be sure to make the best of it! Add some extra stops to your itinerary, like the following:
  • Stop in St. Louis for BBQ and to check out the Gateway to the West.
  • Hit up Little Man Ice Cream in
    Denver
    for some homemade ice cream!
  • And what trip would be complete without a stopover in Las Vegas?
But before you hit the road, make sure you’ve got
roadside assistance
lined up. And if your carrier doesn’t provide it, no worries!

offers comprehensive roadside assistance for only $6.99 per car!
Happy driving!
