What is the best driving route from Chicago to Los Angeles?
My cousin just moved to Los Angeles, and I’m dying to go visit her! I know it’s gonna be a trek from my neck of the woods (I’m in Chicago), but I’ve got time to kill! What is the best driving route from Chicago to L.A.?

That’s awesome! Nothing like a cross-country cousin trip. The best driving route from
Chicago
to Los Angeles
is to take I-80 W, then I-76 W, then I-70 W, then I-15 S, and then follow signs for Los Angeles. The trip will take approximately 29 hours! You’re going to want to break this one up.We recommend the following stops along the way:
- Omaha, Nebraska: the largest city in Nebraska, Omaha is teeming with things to do!
- Salt Lake City, Utah: visit Utah’s most populous city and be sure to check out the dried-up salt lake while you’re there.
- Reno, Nevada: take in Nevada’s epic mountains and wildlife, as well as plentiful entertainment options.
Before you embark on the journey, make sure your
car insurance
policy is up to speed. Does it have towing and labor coverage
should your car break down miles away from home? Jerry

Jerry is the top-rated car insurance app and licensed broker that will give you quotes from the nation’s most popular car insurance companies in less time than it takes to say, “I’m on my way—see ya in a week!” Just pick the policy you want, and Jerry will handle the rest.

Hope you have a great trip!
