I’m heading to Phoenix to visit my best friend in a couple of weekends and will be driving. What’s the best route from Albuquerque?

Although the distance between
Albuquerque
and
Phoenix
doesn’t look huge, it’s longer than you’d expect! The best route from Albuquerque to Phoenix takes about 6 hours and 45 minutes along I-40 and I-17.
Although there are alternative routes, this route has more points of interest than US-60—it winds through historic towns and tons of jaw-dropping scenery, showcasing some of the highlights of the American Southwest.
The I-40 and I-17 route is an excellent option for more diversity on your drive and allows you to make stops in lovely places like Sedona and
Flagstaff
, along with some smaller towns in
New Mexico
.
Planning out your stops on the 6-hour drive can be overwhelming with so many options, as can finding the right insurance to keep you safe on your drive—but when you shop with the
