How many days does it take to drive from California to New York?

How many days would it take me to drive from California to New York? I’m considering taking a road trip this summer and New York City is somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, but I’m nervous it might be a little ambitious for a road trip.

That sounds like a really fun road trip idea! It would take you six to seven days of driving to span the distance between California and New York, depending on where you start from. If you tend to stop often while driving, the trip could take a little longer.
To make the drive more fun for yourself, consider
adding some stops
along the way. Find a new favorite restaurant, see a weird roadside attraction, or just spend some time in a small town. Regardless, try to make the journey just as fun as the destination. You’ll be surprised by how quickly the drive goes.
When taking a long trip, it’s really important to have a good insurance policy. Luckily, the
