Rest area near me on I-95
Choose Near a place and tap Use my location. We list the rest stops within the distance you choose, closest first, with the state's status where it publishes one. Remember that many I-95 stops serve one direction only, so check that a stop is on your side before you plan to pull in.
Service plazas from New England to Maryland
From Maine to Maryland, several long stretches of I-95 are toll roads, and many of their stops are service plazas with fuel, food, and restrooms, such as those on the Maine Turnpike, the New Jersey Turnpike, the Delaware Turnpike, and Maryland's I-95. Traffic through New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington is heavy for most of the day, so plan breaks outside the cities.
Georgia rest areas on I-95, and the drive to Florida
South of Richmond, I-95 runs through Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia to Florida. Georgia's stretch is short, about 112 miles past Savannah and Brunswick, with a welcome center near the South Carolina line for southbound drivers.
Florida's stretch is the longest, about 380 miles from the Georgia line past Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, and the Space Coast to Miami. Southbound traffic peaks around the holidays and in January, northbound in March and April.
Tips for driving I-95
- Break every two hours: AAA suggests a stop about every two hours or 100 miles. On the long drive from the Northeast to Florida, that is several stops a day.
- Avoid city rush hours: Time your drive to pass New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington outside weekday rush hours.
- Have a toll plan: E-ZPass works on most northern toll roads. Florida uses SunPass and accepts some other transponders.
- Use the service plazas: Northern service plazas have fuel and food, so you can pair a break with a fill-up without leaving the road.
What the status on each rest stop means
We never call a rest stop open unless the state, or someone who checked, has confirmed it. A stop marked "Status not confirmed by the state" comes from the Federal Highway Administration's 2019 national list and may have closed or changed, so check before you rely on it. Amenities appear only where the state lists them. See how our status labels work.
