What’s the best route from Montgomery, AL to Destin, FL?

My best friend is planning her bachelorette party and she really wants to go to Destin for a chill beach trip. What’s the best way to get there from Montgomery?

Destin is a great destination to escape to! **The best route from
Montgomery
, AL to
Destin
, FL will take just under three hours for a total of 174 miles. This route includes a toll road, so be sure to include that in your trip expectations.
The quickest route will take you on I-65 S until you reach Chapman, then you’ll take smaller highways like AL-55 S and US-29 S through southern Alabama. After crossing the
Florida
border, you’ll pass through towns like Baker, Milligan, and
Niceville
before crossing the Mid-Bay Toll Bridge to arrive in Destin.
If you don’t want to put the extra miles on your car—or you just prefer to keep that fine white sand and saltwater smell out of your interior—you may decide to
rent a car
for your vacation. In that case, you’ll always want to be sure your
car insurance
policy includes
rental coverage
.
