How far is Kentucky from California driving?
My partner moved to Kentucky and I’m planning a big trip to visit them! I’ve narrowed down the dates for the trip, but I need to account for the drive time in my vacation plan. How far is Kentucky from California driving?

It’s very sweet that you’re planning to visit your partner—I’m sure they’ll be happy to see you! Unfortunately, the drive to
Kentucky
from California is a hefty 9 hour and 45 minutes trip without traffic. Once you start accounting for potential traffic
and road obstructions, the drive could be much longer.To make sure you get there safe and fresh, consider breaking the drive into two or three days. While three days may seem excessive, taking short drives each day is a great way to keep up your driving stamina and ensure you’re always awake and alert when you’re sitting behind the wheel.
Drowsiness and
distracted driving
are two of America’s leading car accident causes. So taking the extra time to stay awake and alert is key to a safe trip. If you do decide to go for long drives, try limiting your car time to 9 hours at most. Any longer, and you may have trouble keeping your eyes on the road.When you hit the road for a long trip, you’re also raising the likelihood that you’ll be involved in a car accident. But try not to worry. So long as you stay sharp and make sure you have the right
car insurance
coverage, you should be fine.For help finding the lowest available rates on the car insurance policy you need for your trip, use
