The driving distance is approximately 3,377 km to 3,400 km (2,098 to 2,110 miles). This journey involves crossing the US-Mexico border, which requires a valid passport, a Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM) for Mexico, and a Temporary Vehicle Import Permit (TIP) if traveling beyond Mexico's 'free zone'. Mexican auto insurance is legally required. Toll roads (cuotas) are prevalent in Mexico, and tolls will also be encountered in the US. Border crossing times can vary significantly; frequent travelers might consider a SENTRI pass for expedited processing into the US.
