Driving in Florida directions
So on our way from Toronto to Naples. Brutal weather in West Virginia has put us behind schedule and with 2 small kids we had to call it a day.
Headed from savannah ga to Naples Florida tomorrow. 2 routes are the interior route or the highway through Orlando. I prefer highway as those small town interior drives can be awful. Any suggestions? |

I live in Jacksonville FL. Right off of 95...
if you leave Savannah at 6 am or after you’ll miss the the rush hour traffic in Orlando after 10 am unless there’s an accident which is unforeseen... I’d take 95 South to 4 West and 75 South!!! |

Made that drive too many times to count. You're a lucky dog Naples is a sanctuary this time of year.
I always take the interior route through Ocala and avoid Orlando like the plague but if speed traps and stop and go bothers you then take 95. By the time I get that far along the trip I can't wait to get off a major highway like 95.

I agree that's how I would go. We take the way to Lido Key, 75 south usually goes good.

Take your pick. Tampa or Orlando. I-10 is good Road to Lake city, then I-75 south. I-4 in "O" town is a total Nightmare. Be safe.

Driving in Florida directions
I do 50,000 miles a year driving around Florida. If you are coming down 95 from Savannah take 295 around Jacksonville. I 10 west to 301 S. Take 301 to I 75. I 75 to Naples. Make sure you do the exact speed limit the entire way on 301. It’s a speed trap. Just use your cruise control. Thats 100% the best way and fastist way. Orlando traffic is a nightmare from hell. Avoid at all costs. Don’t even go to disney world. Lol.

Yep that’s the route I take Brett.
If you go that way be prepared for ocassional stretches of 65mph > 45 mph > 30 mph > 45 > 65 and so forth. It’s a game

I-4 isnt as bad as it used to be. It's 3 lanes all the way to I-95 now, so as long as you avoid rush hour, it's the way I'd go.
