How far is New Orleans from Chicago driving?
I’m thinking of visiting my sister this summer. She lives in Chicago. Usually, I fly there, but I might drive this time if I can convince my friend to come along. How far is it to drive to New Orleans from Chicago?

Visiting your sister sounds like a great idea! Hopefully, your friend can go with you and share some of the driving.
To drive to New Orleans from Chicago is 926 miles and will take almost 13.5 hours according to Google Maps. This route follows I-57 S and I-55 S.
Your actual travel time will be affected by a number of factors:
- Type of vehicle: Depending on the make and condition of your vehicle, you could be looking at longer driving times.
- Making stops: Be sure to plan for things like bathroom breaks, meals, and gas fill-ups. As it’s a long drive to New Orleans, you may want to plan to stay overnight somewhere on the way, too.
- Road conditions: Check the forecast and traffic conditions ahead of your trip to prepare. Wet, snowy, or icy roads and construction zones may extend your travel time.
A long highway adventure may also warrant some additional insurance coverage.
