Driving from Fort Myers: What to Know

Fort Myers, Florida makes a practical base for exploring the Southeast by car. Before a longer trip, give the vehicle a quick once-over — tire pressure, washer fluid, and wipers — and download offline maps, as coverage can thin out between towns on rural stretches. The main corridor for trips listed on this page is I-75, so check for construction or closures on that route before setting out.

All drive times on this page assume normal conditions. Gas cost estimates use a 30 MPG vehicle at current average fuel prices — a hybrid or EV can cut that cost roughly in half, and you can compare electric options on our EV trip pages.
