A southbound
West Coast road trip
sounds like the perfect getaway! The best route from
Seattle
to
Palm Springs
is pretty easy, but you can add some detours to spice up the drive!
Here’s our recommended route:
  • Hop on I-5 S in Seattle and take it all the way down to
    Santa Clarita
    .
  • Use I-210/CA-210 E to pass through the
    Los Angeles
    suburbs.
  • Merge onto I-10 E.
  • Take the exit for **CA-111 ** going southbound to wrap up your trip in Palm Springs.
It may not seem like much, but the route covers almost 1,250 miles and almost 20 hours of driving time. It takes even longer if you use US-199 S to detour down US-101 S or CA-1 S through wine country, the Bay area, and the scenic views of the coast.
Plan lots of stops and consider adding
towing and labor coverage
to your
car insurance
to avoid major bumps on the way. You can find the cheapest rates for this coverage and more with help from the
