What’s the best driving route from Massachusetts to Florida?

I got a week off from work last minute and I kind of want to use it to drive down to Florida for a few days. I live in the Boston area. What's the best driving route from Massachusetts to, let’s say, Orlando, Florida?

Using your (sudden) vacation time for an impromptu Florida road trip sounds like a great plan!
Driving from
Boston
to
Orlando
can get a little tricky with rush hour traffic in the big cities you’ll hit on the way down, but it’s definitely doable.
Here’s the best straight-shot driving route from
Massachusetts
to
Florida
:
Yes, it is that simple. The I-95 is one of the longer highways in the country—passing through a total of 16 states! That said, it’s also one of the busiest. If you want to avoid hitting rush hour in
Providence
,
New York
,
Baltimore
, and D.C. you’ll want to time your trip so that you’re heading out of Boston around 6am.
For a less early start, you can also try avoiding major cities by taking a more western route via I-90 W, I-84 W, I-81 S, I-77 S, and I-26 E to join up to I-95 S outside of
Charleston
. But, I-95 S is definitely the easier route to remember.
Whether you decide to brave the traffic on I-95 S or take a less direct route, you’ll want to protect yourself on your road trip with quality car insurance—
