How many hours does it take to drive from Miami to New Orleans?
How long would it take me to get to New Orleans from Miami? I want to go to Mardi Gras with some friends, but I’m not sure if my car will make it all the way to Louisiana. How much driving should I expect to do?

That sounds like such a fun trip! It will take you about 12 hours and 36 minutes to drive from Miami to New Orleans, not including stops for gas, food, and sleep. The trip is just over 865 miles of driving, which you would ideally break up into a two-day journey to avoid overtiring yourself.
If you’re worried about your car, though, you might consider
renting one
for the drive! While it might be more expensive than driving your own vehicle, it’s certainly preferable to breaking down halfway to Louisiana. Regardless of how you decide to travel, you’ll need a good insurance policy. The
