How far is Virginia from New York driving?

I want to visit my mom in Virginia, but I hate flying. If I’m driving from New York City, how far away is Virginia?

Tell your mom to pay for your flight! Nah, just kidding! But if you want to drive to
Virginia
from New York, expect it to take four hours or 230 miles.
That’s not a huge distance, but you will have some magnificent places to stop along the way, including:
  • Baltimore (eat some blue crabs!)
  • Washington, D.C. (eat some blue crabs but with statues in the background!)
  • Hop off the interstate and meet some locals. Southern barbecue is amazing.
Even though it’s a short trip, your journey from New York to Virginia will feel a bit safer with towing and labor coverage. If you don’t have this coverage on your policy, a great place to start is with the
