What’s the best driving route from Detroit to Boston?

I’m headed to Boston for a job interview in a couple weeks, and I don’t want to fly. What’s the best driving route for me to take?

First, good luck with your job interview! We understand that flying isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and most would think the easiest route for you would be to just hit I-90 the whole way—but the best driving route from
Detroit
to
Boston
actually includes a quick detour through Ontario on ON-401 and ON-403 that will shave a full hour and a half off your drive.
Remember that when you pass into Ontario, you’ll be crossing the US/Canada border, so be sure you bring:
  • Your valid US Passport
  • Money for toll fees
Even with the time you save by driving through Ontario, you’re looking at an 11.5-hour trip, and that doesn’t include breaks for things like gas and food, so be sure to plan enough time to get your interview. You should also make sure your
car insurance
policy includes
towing and labor coverage
to keep you on the move in case of a breakdown. Luckily, the experts at
Jerry
can help you with both.
