How many hours does driving from Orlando to New York take?

My kids have always wanted to visit New York but we aren’t keen on paying for four kids and two adults to fly. How long would it take us to drive from Orlando to New York?

You’re right—flying can get expensive with a big family! Driving is a great option that can be a lot of fun. If you aren’t planning to make any pitstops, driving from Orlando to New York would take around 16 hours.
But traveling by car 1,072 miles can be exhausting in a single stretch. So you’ll probably want to stop to stretch your legs and maybe even spend the night somewhere halfway. Here are some places worth checking out along your route:
  • St. Augustine, Florida—​​Claims to be the oldest city in the U.S. and is known for its eye-catching Spanish colonial architecture
  • Savannah, Georgia—Boasts plenty of beautifully manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, and antebellum architecture
  • Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—60-mile stretches of beach are great for a relaxing day in the sun
  • Washington, DC—Wave to the president at Capitol Hill or check out one of its iconic museums
  • Atlantic City, New Jersey—Check out one of many casinos, beaches, or the iconic boardwalk
The drive from Orlando to the Big Apple covers a long stretch of road. To keep you protected along the way, you’ll want to make sure you have the proper car insurance.
