What’s the best driving route from Los Angeles to Nashville?

I was born in LA and have lived here my whole life, but I recently found out that my grandma used to be a country singer in her younger days in Tennessee! I’m thinking I want to take a road trip back there to explore this new twist in my family story—what’s the best way to get there?

This sounds like an amazing trip—and a wonderful way to reconnect with some family history you never knew existed! The best driving route from
Los Angeles
 to
Nashville
 is on I-40 West, which includes a good stretch of historic Route 66.
This is a long drive and includes some pretty vast stretches of desert across several states, so make sure you prepare accordingly. Adding on a
roadside assistance
 policy to your car insurance coverage is a great way to make sure you can always get help if you need it when you’re on the road.
This route will take you along Route 66, which is road-trip worthy in and of itself. Make sure you
make ample preparations
, take plenty of breaks for rest and sightseeing, and enjoy discovering some new leaves on your family tree!
Before you head out, take a minute to check and make sure you’re getting the best rate possible on your car insurance. Don’t worry, it’s easy with help from
super app
 Jerry! Download the app, enter some basic info, and in seconds
Jerry
 will bring you a selection of customized insurance quotes.

What Others Are Asking

Does my extended warranty cover the car battery?
My car battery is clearly on its last legs and I’m tired of asking my neighbor to jump-start my car. The warranty on my Toyota Camry is no longer valid. Does my extended warranty cover the battery?

If someone gets a speeding ticket in my car, who pays for it—the driver or me?
Does a speeding ticket follow the car or the driver? My cousin received a speeding ticket when she borrowed my car. She said she would pay for it but I am a little nervous that she won't. If she doesn't pay for it, who will get in trouble: me or her?
