How many hours is New York from Canada when driving?
How many hours would it take to drive to New York City from Toronto, Canada? I want to visit New York for my birthday in a few months but I can’t afford an Airbnb and a plane ticket. I’m hoping I can drive down instead.

Driving to
New York
from Canada is definitely do-able, and sounds like a really fun birthday plan! Typically the drive will take just under eight hours to complete, depending on traffic.However, driving in New York City can be really intimidating, since the streets are constantly packed with cars and it’s difficult to find parking. If you’re not a confident driver, bringing your car to New York could be stressful.
Instead, you might consider taking the train! The Amtrak Maple Leaf will take you directly from Canada to New York without any driving on your part. The train ride will take about 12 hours and 30 minutes and will cost about $140 each way.
If you do decide to make the drive, you should invest in a good insurance policy to keep you protected. Luckily, the
