For those that are experienced in driving to NY, what is the best way to get to I95 going north.

Having trouble getting a quick flight and was thinking of driving to NY.

Done it many times, several ways. In the end, 75 to 10E to 95N is usually the most painless. I hate all the local stretches of 301 getting up to 10E. Might be slightly shorter in miles, but worse in every other way. Good luck!!

I have tried all the routes from TV to I-95, and the quickest (even with all the small towns you have to go through)

I-75 to Exit 358 to
301 to
I-10 ....when you get to I-10, do not get in line to turn left onto the on ramp...go under the interstate and do a U turn so you are turning right for the on ramp....there is usually a long line turning left due to a truck stop just before the interstate.

I-10 to
I-295 to
I-95

It is 57 miles shorter

Autotrain from Sanford To Virginia. Drive the rest of the way.

Actually probably the easiest and less stressful of all the ways suggested so far. Will rest you up for the last, maddening segment from DC to NY!!

Thank you. That is brilliant, never thought of that. I hate that left.

Yeah, I hear you, and it might seem like a big difference, but timewise....not so much. I've gotten stuck in local traffic, or with construction, in those little local towns more than a few times. Plus, those little local towns tend to have little local PD's who love to ticket out-of-state plates every time you change speed limits, which is constant!! I prefer the high-speed flow of traffic on cruise control via 75 & 10 any day, even given the miles difference. In the end though, those, plus the Auto Train, are really the only choices. Not even a trip worth doing on Mapquest! lol

Also, always make sure you travel thru DC and NYC during off off peak rush hours.

Thank you so very much!

Be sure to download the free navigation app called Waze. Gives real time updates such as hazards, police location, traffic jams, etc. also shows turn by turn directions and gives you alternate routes. Much better than google maps. Just used it driving to DC earlier this month.

BTW we chose the 301 route as suggested and it was a breeze!

Have tried all the route that you can imagine over the past 6 years. The best IMO

County RT 42 from North end of TV 18.2mi to Fl 19 north for 15.5 mi to Fl 40 east 33 mi to 95.

very little traffic , virtually no towns to pass through, much of the route is through the Ocala and other forests. My guess is that once you take this route you will not want the hassle of the various other routes. Roads are good quality. I have taken this route at least 20 times to Maryland and back

Forest is nice, but I don't like it much at night.
