What an exciting way to learn about our nation’s history and see some beautiful scenery at the same time! The best route from
D.C.
to
Boston
is straight up I-95 N to I-91 N. Then take I-84 E to I-90 E and you’re there!
This drive will take around seven and a half hours. You can knock it out in one day or split it up into two shorter drives. There are pros and cons to driving straight through:
  • Pro: You won’t have to spend money on a hotel.
  • Con: There’s less time to see the sights and take any interesting detours.
  • Pro: You’ll arrive at your destination more quickly.
  • Con: Driving without stopping can cause strain to your car if it’s not properly maintained.
You’ll have to weigh the pros and cons to decide if splitting up the drive is right for you. Either way, you’ll want to protect yourself from road hazards by adding

policy.
