How many hours does driving from Houston to Orlando take?

My friends are planning to go on a road trip, but I’m not good with long car rides. I told them I’d only go if it takes under 25 hours of driving total. That said, how many hours does it take to drive from Houston to Orlando?

Driving from
Houston to Orlando
takes nearly 14 hours. Of course, that estimate only accounts for distance—not traffic or other obstacles that could slow your pace.
While the round trip will likely total around 28 hours, you should have a nice break between rides while you’re in Orlando. Plus, you can always plan your trip to include plenty of stops along the way. The route from Houston to Orlando includes a lot of great cultural and food stops, so you could have a pretty fun time taking it slow.
Remember that the key to a good road trip is planning ahead. If you don’t like long car rides, then try breaking the drive into a few days. Instead of covering a 14-hour trip in one day, make it several and seek out exciting activities along the way. Then you can have a great trip without worrying about too much driving time.
Planning can be a great way to make the most of your road trip, but it’s also critical to staying safe on the road. Packing
jumper cables
, water, and extra food is an easy way to make sure you’re safe if you break down on the side of the road. But the best way to stay covered is to find the right car insurance coverage with
