How many hours does driving from Boston to Virginia take?

I’m moving to a new state, and I don’t know if my Toyota Camry can make the drive. It already has 180,000 miles on it, so I’m worried about going too far. On average, how many hours should it take to drive from Boston to Virginia?

Since drive time depends on traffic, weather, and road conditions, it can be hard to predict. But driving from Boston to Virginia should take 9 hours and 18 minutes without traffic or other disruptions.
Keep in mind that long drives can be dangerous in older cars. Any mechanical issues or malfunctions on the road could lead to major accidents. To ensure your car is safe for the trip, have a local
mechanic or auto shop
take a look before you hit the road.
It’s also important to remember that you may need to visit the DMV once you arrive in Virginia. When you move to a new state, you’ll probably need to
redo your car title
, update your registration, and
find a new insurance policy
