I want to do something epic, so I’m planning to drive my car south from Augusta, Maine. What is the best route to drive from Maine to Florida?

Wow! You’re about to take one of the greatest road trips America has to offer! The best route from
Maine
to
Florida
in terms of time is the I-95.
But if you’re looking for adventure, your best bet is US Route 1, which runs from Kent, Maine all the way down to
Key West
, Florida.
US Route 1 connects most of the major American cities on the country’s east coast, including Washington, D.C.,
New York City
,
Philadelphia
, and
Boston
.
The route itself will take about 32 hours of driving time, without stops. We highly recommend that you do not attempt this trip in one shot. To guard against driving fatigue, you should plan a few overnight stops.
But, with so many things to see and do along the way, you probably won’t have many issues with making a few stops. Here are some of the sights you’ll be able to catch on your trip:
  • The Liberty Bell – Philadelphia
  • The Statue of Liberty – New York City
  • The Lincoln Memorial – Washington D.C.
  • **Harvard University –
    Cambridge
    , MA
Before you leave, make sure that you have the right
car insurance
coverage for a long road trip. You might want to consider adding
roadside assistance
coverage to your car insurance policy. This type of coverage will help you if you find yourself stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire.
