How long will it take me to drive from Miami to Tampa? Is it a reasonable commute for a job that meets in person twice a week at most, or should I look in other areas closer to me?
to Tampa, although the actual timeline of your trip will depend heavily on traffic. This is a pretty intense drive, but here is the best route to follow:
Take I-95 N and I-95 Express out of Miami
Merge onto Florida’s Turnpike towards Turnpike
Exit towards Ft. Lauderdale, then follow the signs for FL-84 W/I-595 W
Exit towards Naples and merge onto I-75 N
Exit towards FL-618, then continue onto FL-618 Toll/Selmon Expressway
Take exit 8 and follow the signs for your desired part of the city
If you plan to commute for eight hours twice per week, you’ll need a great car insurance policy to back you up. The
