Trip Plan

You are only required to make one stop along the way, which offers enough flexibility to stretch your legs or grab a quick snack without falling behind schedule. Keep a close eye on your fuel gauge, as the long, uninterrupted 204.5-mile stretch means you should ensure your tank is topped off before merging onto the main highway. Since this is a highway-heavy route, having an electronic toll pass ready is a smart move to keep your pace steady through the various toll plazas. Use that single planned stop as a mid-way reset to stay alert during the long, consistent stretches of Florida’s Turnpike.
