That
road trip
will be the best! It will take 14 hours to drive from New York to Florida if you leave from New York City and head to Key West. You’ll cover 1,200 miles.
Because the trip is long, you could divide it into several days. Not only will it help you stay safe and alert behind the wheel, but there are some worthwhile stops along the way, such as:
  • Check out the pier or go to a casino in Atlantic City
  • Walk along Virginia Beach
  • Check out the quaint coastal town of Hilton Head, South Carolina
  • Go to a Jacksonville Jaguars game
  • Get some amazing food in Miami in Little Havana or Little Haiti
Since you’re embarking on such a long road trip, you don’t want to get stranded somewhere. Make sure to add roadside assistance or towing and labor coverage to your car insurance policy. If your current insurance company doesn’t offer it, use the
