Montreal to Savannah: ~1,500 Miles, 22+ Hours Driving

The drive from Montreal, QC to Savannah, GA covers approximately 1,500 miles (2,414 km) and requires 22–24 hours behind the wheel — a solid 3-day trip.

Standard Route (I-87 / I-95 Corridor)

1. A-15 S / I-87 S (Montreal → Albany, NY) — 175 mi / 280 km
2. I-90 E (Albany → Springfield, MA) — 50 mi
3. I-91 S (Springfield → New Haven, CT) — 65 mi
4. I-95 S (New Haven → NYC → Philadelphia → Baltimore → Washington → Richmond → Savannah) — ~1,100 mi

Key Considerations

• Border: Lacolle/Champlain (A-15/I-87) — NEXUS recommended; summer weekends = 1–2 hr waits.
• NYC Metro: I-95 through Bronx (Cross Bronx), GW Bridge (toll), NJ Turnpike, Delaware Memorial Bridge (toll), Baltimore tunnels (toll) — major congestion zones. Consider I-84 → I-81 → I-76 → I-95 inland bypass (adds 30 mi, often saves time).
• Tolls: ~$60–80 USD (E-ZPass / transponder saves cash & time).
• Fuel: Fill in US — Quebec gas ~$1.80/L vs US ~$3.50/gal.
• Stops: Albany, Hartford, Philadelphia, DC, Richmond — all good overnight points.

Alternative: Fly

Montreal (YUL) → Savannah (SAV) ~3h 30m nonstop (seasonal) or 5h+ connecting. Often <$400 round-trip. Saves 2 days.
