What is the best route from Massachusetts to Florida?

I’m helping my parents move from Massachusetts to their new winter home in Florida. What’s the best route for the moving truck?

Renting your own moving truck saves a ton of money—but it’s important to find the most efficient route to save on gas and mileage! The best route from
Massachusetts
to
Florida
is over 1,300 miles long and takes about 20 hours via I-95 South. This route takes you through New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Richmond, Fayetteville, Savannah, and then onto Jacksonville, Orlando—or whatever your preferred Sunshine State destination may be.
Obviously, these major cities can see some major traffic, so it’s important to time your road trip just right. Additionally, weather matters—if you’re moving in the wintertime, you’ll want to be careful to avoid snowstorms in the northeastern states like
New York
and
Pennsylvania
.
Before you hit the road, make sure you’re covered with top-notch car insurance, so your rental truck is protected against any accidental and mechanical damage. You can shop for the perfect policy with licensed broker and
