How far is South Carolina from New York?

My wife and I are moving to New York for her new job, but I still want to visit my parents often. How long is the drive to South Carolina from New York?

Tell your wife congratulations on the new job from the folks at Jerry! As for visiting family down south, the trip is still well within driving distance, but it will take the better part of a day.
South Carolina
is a little over 700 miles away from
New York
, so you’re looking at an 11-hour drive. Most of the trip will be along I-95 S, but that may change depending on where you’re leaving from and traveling to. Just be sure to take a few factors into account:
  • Will you need to drive through areas with heavy traffic?
  • What will the weather be like while you’re on the road?
  • How often do you need to stop for gas, food, and the chance to stretch your legs?
Trying to put a definite travel time on a long trip can be difficult because a single problem, like severe thunderstorms, can set you back by a lot. Be sure to take these factors into account before hitting the road. Additionally, be sure that your vehicle is properly insured to fully protect you and your wife.
