What’s the best route from San Diego to Los Angeles?

I was recently offered a job in Los Angeles but I currently live in San Diego. I’m looking for a new place now and will have to commute in the meantime. What’s the best route between these two cities?

When driving from San Diego to
Los Angeles
, it’s quickest to take I-5 North. However, you’ll still be commuting for close to two hours each way—and if you’re driving during rush hour, the commute will be even longer.
If this situation is just temporary, though, it’s definitely worth it to commute to a job you really enjoy. However, it might be worth finding an apartment first to avoid commuting more than necessary. Travel to L.A. to tour some apartments before you start your new job so that you can experience the commute and make a more informed decision about your future.
Once you change your address, you’ll also need to update your insurance. Check out the
