What’s the best route from St. Louis to Orlando?

I’m planning to surprise my dad for Father’s Day since I haven’t been home in over half a year. I know it’ll be a long drive so I want to minimize my travel time. What’s the most direct route I can take to get from St. Louis to Orlando?

That’s such a sweet plan! We hope your dad will be pleasantly surprised by your visit.
The best route from
St. Louis
to
Orlando
is as follows:
  • Get onto I-64 E
  • Take I-57 S, I-24 E, I-75 S and Florida’s Turnpike to S Lucerne Circle E in Orlando.
  • Take Exit 10B from FL-408 E
  • Take FL-527 N to E South St
This is the fastest route to Orlando with a driving distance of 992 miles. Under normal traffic conditions, the drive would be 14 hours and 26 minutes. However, we recommend breaking up the trip into segments to avoid driving long periods without rest.
To help you optimize your driving time, here are some tips before leaving:
  • Schedule maintenance for your car so that it is tuned up for the long drive
  • Map out rest stops and restaurants so you know where you’ll be going
  • Make reservations for accommodations for the best prices
Finally, make sure your
car insurance
coverage is sufficient. Having roadside assistance would be handy, in case your car breaks down or gets a flat tire on the way.
