Guys, imagine having to drive 9-hours in a car with 3 screaming cats and a panda bear (mutt Maine Coon) when we moved to North Carolina. My husband drove the luggage in another car… Even today, given the current health situation, road trips are increasing in popularity.
Are you wondering how I kept my sanity? Xanax. And wine. Just kidding…maybe. The answer from above: Podcasts and audiobooks, y’all.
I don’t know about you, but while I love traveling, I don’t necessarily love the driving-in-the-car part. My middle finger gets exhausted! We’ve road-tripped all over, including other countries like Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, and Iceland. How do you pass hours upon hours in the car after you’ve counted all of the sheepies and sang along to the radio in multiple languages?

We added in a few of our own, too, including nonfiction, fiction, romance, historical fiction, YA, and funny audiobook titles. There is something on this road trip audiobook reading list for everyone; we promise! Unless you want to listen to Baby Shark on repeat…
P.S. What’s a great way to snatch audiobooks besides the library?! You can try Audible and get two free audiobooks. You may also gift Audible to your traveling friends.
Keep reading for our top picks for the absolute best audiobooks for road trips. Let’s get started!
Best Audiobooks For Road Trips As Recommended By Eline From Lovely Audiobooks

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Narrated by Martin Jarvis
Good Omens is making an incredible comeback. Whether you’ve already seen the Amazon show, read the book, or have yet to experience this awesome story about friendship and the apocalypse, this is one of the best audiobooks for road trips for Gaiman-lovers. Good Omens is produced with a full cast of voice actors including Peter Serafinowicz for a BBC radio play. Plus, it’s a great choice for a long drive. Read More→
Evidence Of The Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Narrated By Julia Whelan, Greg Newborn & More
One of the best audiobooks for short road trips, Evidence Of The Affair is written in epistolary form: Carrie sends a letter to the husband of the woman who she believes is having an affair with her own husband. The ending is as devastating as it is beautiful. This audiobook is free with Kindle Unlimited, making it perfect for audiobook-beginners.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Narrated by George Guidall
Neil Gaiman is everywhere these days. American Gods is my [Eline’s] personal favorite. Shadow, this honestly good guy, finds himself utterly out of options after being released from prison. He runs into a group of rather odd people. With them, he’s going on a road trip through America.
Eline’s Picks For Best Romance Audiobooks For Road Trips
Lucky Suit by Lauren Blakely
Narrated by Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt
Lucky Suit is 2.5 hours long, which makes this one of the best audiobooks for road trips to a nearby state. And, it’s safe to play on speakers for everyone. Lucky Suit is a light-hearted romantic comedy by romance queen, Lauren Blakely, and is perfectly narrated by two of romance’s most beloved narrators, Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt. These two will draw you in and make you wonder how Kristen and Cameron actually end up together.
Ball Peen Hammer by Lauren Rowe
Narrated by Lauren Rowe and John Lane
Ball Peen Hammer is absolutely NOT a speaker-safe audiobook to listen to while driving unless you are going on a road trip alone. But, this contemporary romance isn’t only incredibly sexy, it’s also absolutely hilarious and heart-warming. Keane and Maddy find themselves on the road trip version of a blind date. They talk, get to know each other, and, of course, have to keep their hands off of one another. But that never quite works out, does it?! Ball Peen Hammer is one of the best audiobooks for road trips if you devour romance.
The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
Narrated by Robin Eller & Cary Hite
For long stretches in the car, The Voting Booth is a happy, cute, and funny YA romance audiobook. But, it’s also a profound critique of voter suppression, especially in urban areas and communities with people of color. The Voting Booth is such an important audiobook to listen to this summer.
The A.I. Who Loved Me by Alyssa Cole
Narrated by Regina Hall, Mindy Kaling & More
The A.I Who Loved Me was one of my [Eline’s] favorite audiobooks of 2019. Part science-fiction, part love story, Alyssa Cole comments on how current events could lead to a very bleak future and what happens if you accidentally fall in love with an artificial human. The audiobook is an outstanding production with a full cast as well as Regina Hall reading the main character.
Eline’s Top Picks For Best Audiobooks For Road Trips For Nonfiction Lovers
Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstock
Narrated by Karen Kilgariff, Georgia Hardstock, and Paul Giamatti
Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered is the story of the two women behind one of the most successful true-crime podcasts. If you follow My Favorite Murder, this is a must-listen. But if you don’t know the podcast, you can also start with the audiobook and discover My Favorite Murder afterward. Christine says YASSS to all of this. Book Information→
The Science Of Mindfulness by Ronald Siegel
Narrated by Ronal Siegel
Mindfulness is a popular term, but there’s actual science behind it, too. The Science Of Mindfulness gives a great overview of why mindfulness practice can improve your quality of life and even help significantly with depression and anxiety. As someone who tends to overthink things, I [Eline] found it very helpful to understand what mindfulness changes in the brain before actually starting to practice. The course is perfectly safe for drivers, but don’t do the guided meditations at the end of the audiobook while you’re still driving.

Best Nonfiction Audiobooks For Road Trips
Quiet by Susan Cain
Narrated by Cathe Mazur
I love listening to nonfiction books in the car since I find myself slogging through them on the couch. Although I talk a lot and pretend to be an extrovert to survive, a large part of me is an introvert. Susan Cain describes the dynamic of an extroverted society and its effects on introverts. Cain is a champion of the quieter folk and discusses how in a world that cannot stop talking, introverts have merit too. Discover some secretly popular introverts and their societal contributions, too. Quiet is truly one of my favorite introspective and best audiobooks for road trips suggestions. Book Information→
Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson
Narrated by Jenny Lawson
I follow Jenny Lawson on Facebook as The Bloggess–she speaks to my soul. Lawson is both honest and hilarious. One of the funniest and best audiobooks for road trips that is also inspiring includes Lawson’s Furiously Happy. Lawson shares her battle with mental health, suffering from both anxiety and depression. She advocates for loving and accepting yourself no matter what.

Becoming by Michelle Obama
Narrated by Michelle Obama
While I haven’t listened to Becoming by Michelle Obama via audiobook, it’s no secret that I read the book and watched the Netflix documentary. I love listening to the former First Lady as she shares her experiences about growing up in Chicago and attending college. Michelle Obama talks about dating Barack Obama, and the many challenges she faced and continues to face as a Black woman, career woman, and mother.
Yes Please by Amy Poehler

This is one of the best audiobooks for road trips for the cast alone: Seth Meyers, Carol Burnett, Patrick Steward, and even Poehler’s parents. Discover a collection of mismatched stories that take Poehler through her Boston childhood to Hollywood today.
Over The Top by Jonathan Van Ness
Narrated by Jonathan Van Ness
Named as one of NPR’s favorite books of the year, I read JVN’s Over The Top but wish I had listened to the audiobook version, especially since he narrates it. Van Ness’s voice radiates off of the pages in this beautiful, raw, and at times, hilarious biography about overcoming addiction and childhood molestation. A perfect LGBTQ+ audiobook for your road trip, Over The Top is for maturer audiences looking for inspiration to reaffirm their amazing self-identity. Plus, I am Queer Eye obsessed. Read more→
You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson
Narrated by Phoebe Robinson & John Hodgman
Another one of the best audiobooks for road trips that I’ve seen recommended over and over again but have yet to listen to is You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson. With a discussion of pop culture, feminism, and race, Robinson shares her experiences working and living as a Black woman where, yup, people ask if they can touch her hair. Glamour named You Can’t Touch My Hair as one of the top books of 2016.
Born A Crime By Trevor Noah
Narrated by Trevor Noah
One of my favorite nonfiction books to read, I also keep hearing that Born A Crime is one of the best audiobooks for road trips. You might know Trevor Noah from The Daily Show. In this memoir, Noah shares his journey growing up in apartheid South Africa with a Black mother and white father, which was considered a crime during that time. A coming-of-age story, learn more about the brilliant man behind one of our favorite nightly TV shows. Noah is guaranteed to make you laugh with his childhood stories while talking about more serious issues including racism and racist policies. Book Information→
Best Audiobooks For Road Trips Related To Travel
A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson
Narrated by Rob McQuay
I wish that Bill Bryson would narrate his books. I picture his sarcasm and wit radiating out of my stereo. It’s no secret that Bryson is also one of my all-time favorite travel writers, too. If you are road tripping around the United States and headed to the Appalachian Trail, don’t skip either reading, watching, or listening to A Walk In The Woods. Bryson and his boozy buddy, Katz, have no business hiking the Appalachian Trail, but they do it anyway. You’ll love them for it. Book Information→
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Narrated by Bernadette Dunne
If you are looking for good books to listen to while driving (with Kleenex), don’t pass up Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I listened to this travel audiobook on my way to work and felt every ounce of Strayed’s pain. Overcoming the loss of her mother and with a failed marriage, Strayed is both broken and lost. Even though she is not a hiker, she makes an unhinged and wild decision to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Watch Strayed’s journey as she learns to forgive, grow, and rebuild her life.
Best Audiobooks Road Trips For Bestselling Fiction Lovers
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
Narrated by Lynn Chen
Crazy Rich Asians as a book and then a movie did not disappoint. The first in the series, we enter the lives of the rich and not so famous except in their wealth. Rachel Chu falls in love with one of the wealthiest families’ offspring, Nick Young, causing a tizzy of gossip and instant jealousy. Is she good enough for this family? In fact, who the hell is she? Sit back with some popcorn for family scandals, love affairs, and a story about proving love conquers all. Crazy Rich Asians is definitely binge-worthy and one of the best audiobooks for road trips. Read More→
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
Narrated by Caroline Lee
Big Little Lies remains one of my favorite books, and I equally love the HBO series. Someone is left dead and the suspect list is endless. Behind closed doors, all of the players–especially the women–have deep, dark secrets. No one is as Stepford Wives as they seem. Watch the drama unfold as friendships are built and marriages crumble. Big Little Lies is the perfect audiobook while driving since it takes your mind off of the traffic and into this mystery. Read More→
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
Narrated by Audra McDonald, Cassandra Campbell, and Ari Flaikos
Small Great Things takes place in my home state of Connecticut where black nurse, Ruth Jefferson, attempts to save a baby’s life. The problem is, the parents are white supremacists and had ordered the hospital to keep Ruth away from their child. Ruth ultimately finds herself at a trial where no one wants to discuss race. Meanwhile, she is trying to live and now fight for her life while raising her own family. Picoult addresses issues at the core of racist America. Most of Picoult’s novels make for binge-worthy audiobooks perfect for road trips; Picoult is a storyteller at heart. Read More→

I always love listening to Toni Morrison’s poetic and sage voice while driving. Beloved is the world-famous story of Sethe, a slave who escaped slavery. However, Sethe is still enslaved by her past and the haunting death of her nameless child. One word sits on the baby’s grave, Beloved. Read More →

Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Owens transports readers to the marshland around the Outer Banks. Kya Clark, who has never fit in, is suspected of killing Chase Andrews. Isolated as a youth from society because her family is poor and neglectful, Kya has always been a naive and easy target.

Best Historical Fiction Audiobooks For Road Trips
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
Narrated by Paul Boehmer & More
Looking for some of the best audiobooks for road trips for historical fiction lovers? Don’t miss The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I loved listening to this audiobook with its multitude of narrators that brought every character to life. With the end of WW2, Juliet needs inspiration for her next book. She heads to Guernsey where she learns about the secret The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Completely endearing, fall in love with this gaggle of islanders.
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Narrated by Emily Klein
Another audiobook that I loved is Sepeys’s Between Shades Of Gray. If you enjoy WW2 historical fiction about more obscured histories, Ruta Sepeys is for you. Fifteen-year-old Lithuanian, Lina, is thrown into a crowded train headed for a Siberian work camp. Separated from her father, Lina sends her drawings through secret channels hoping to locate her father’s prison camp to let him know that she is alive.
Best Audiobooks For Road Trips For Teens & Middle Grade
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Narrated by Katt Rudd
Imagine pulling into work and waiting for the building to open. You are sobbing hysterically in your car and your coworkers think you either hit a squirrel or your cat died. Nope. I was just listening to YA novel, The Fault In Our Stars. The Fault In Our Stars is one of the best audiobooks for road trips or work commutes that I have listened to ever, hands down. Cancer is a hard battle, and Hazel and Augustus meet at a cancer support group. Their story focuses on healing, living your life to the fullest, and love. Have the tissues ready. Read More→
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Narrated by Neil Gaiman
Eline inspired me with her love of Neil Gaiman, and it’s part of the reason I adore her book suggestions. One of Gaiman’s most famous novels, The Graveyard Book is the perfect audiobook for family road trips. A middle grade and YA read, meet Bod. Bod has the only beating heart in his graveyard family, and we watch as he comes of age in the ghoulish world of magic. Read More→
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Narrated by Bahni Turnpin
Full disclosure that I read the book as well as watched the movie for The Hate U Give. However, regardless of how you digest the title, I’ve also heard that it makes for one of the best audiobooks for road trips for the entire family, especially today. Understand the Black Lives Matter movement even more as well as the murdering of innocent young Black men by the police as Starr Carter seeks justice for her best friend’s death.

Travel Across America With This 50 States Reading List
I’ll bet Mindy Kaling is wonderful to listen to on audio! I read her books, but I’m sure they’d be even better listening to her. I just finished Coraline by Neil Gaiman on audio so I’d love to get into his others at some point!
Mindy Kaling always cracks me up, and she has such a unique and relatable voice. I love her even more after A Wrinkle in Time. I enjoy listening to Gaiman and Levithan as audiobooks too.
This is a great list! Maybe my family and I should give some a try. We’ll be on the road together a lot in August. My brother usually plays nonstop podcasts and i don’t know, that gets a little old after awhile.
I like these book suggestions! If it were up to me I’d go for the romantic ones.? But I’ve also read Big Little Lies and Mindy’s book! Loved them both. Where the Crawdads sing is on my list. I already put that one on my kindle.
Thanks for another great post!
Thank you so much! It’s funny that you mention podcasts because I was thinking that I need to listen to more podcasts. What ones do you like and recommend? I think I need more inspirational ones, and I am eyeing Don’t Keep Your Day Job since I am reading the book.
We have 8 hours in the car with the howling cats so I am definitely hoping to get through an audiobook or two for that little road trip from heck.
Kaling cracks me up.
Amazing list!
Thank you!
Oh, a nice mix of genres in this list. I haven’t listened to any of these, though I do have Quiet in my queue on Audible. I may not have any road trips planned, but these sound like they would be great for listening to while doing jobs around the house.
Hey Sarah! I love having guest contributors to mix up the genres. I knew Eline would have a few romance authors to sneak in there for me since I don’t read a lot of love stories (but should).
I definitely find, especially as a blogger now, that I love inspirational audiobooks and podcasts. Quiet is one of them. You are right: they are perfect to listen to while doing chores.
Have a great week, and thanks for checking out our list.
I didn’t know you could pick a book that lasts the length of your trip!! That’s such a cool feature. My go-to for long road trips is a mix of music, podcasts, audio dramas, and physically reading books. I don’t have any audiobooks myself, and I’m not sure if I’d get into them as much as other people do, but I’d like to try them out sometime.
Hey Macey! Yea, you just need to check the audiobook time listed in the description and kind of compare it to your road trip. You can find audiobooks for free from your library; if you use the free apps that pair with library audiobooks like Hoopla or Overdrive, you can actually bookmark where you left off–which is an extra nice feature. They sync across devices too.
Like you, I am definitely a music kinda girl, and the more upbeat, the better to keep me alert. Do you use Pandora or some other internet radio?
I love this post! I recently downloaded Audible to listen to a 2nd self-help book from an author I love because the first book took me months to read and I am for sure going to be downloading the first book too to relisten.
In the past, I tried listening to fiction and I could not get on board. For me, reading is about escaping into another world and listening without any visuals was not helping me to do that. However, reading it with my eyes and not having to worry about anything else around me, I can enjoy a fiction book and escape and read the book within a few days if I love it so much. When it comes to nonfiction, it takes me longer to read and absorb if I’m reading. Recently, listening to many podcasts, I learned audiobooks may be the way to go for me and so far I’m really enjoying my first nonfiction audiobook.
While I may not download some of the fictional books on Audible, they sound great as a regular read and will add them to my kindle list. I’m a sucker for romantic comedies too. 100% will be listening to Quiet. As an introvert, it sounds like a great book for me to listen to on my long rides to and from work.
I had no idea you can search books by the length on Audible so that is a great tip.
P.S. I cried like a baby too after reading The Fault In Our Stars.
I completely agree with you on loving nonfiction audiobooks. Sometimes I can read a nonfiction title just fine. However, especially as a blogger and with my mind all over the place these days, I find it much easier to listen to than physically read nonfiction.
Same with why I like podcasts: I love inspirational and information-filled ideas that I can listen too. That’s probably all a part of how I learn and take in knowledge too. I find fiction much easier to read in a physical book and can get through fiction much faster. Of course, fiction tends to be a lot less dense too.
Susan Cain’s Quiet really blew me away. In my last job, I think people strongly thought that I was more extroverted than I was…but I was truly almost putting on a show so that I wouldn’t get eaten alive… In order to succeed there, you had to have a strong voice. As a YS librarian, they wanted you to be TV show-worthy. Basically, they wanted storytellers who would go all out and ham things up, screaming and yelling and exaggerating and UGH: not me, how I teach, or how I like to read stories to kids, at all.
I kind of hated that mentality because 1. it wasn’t who I was and 2. that loud, extroverted storytime is fun but not necessary. What about the quiet or shy kids or the kids with disabilities? Why couldn’t we have different types of storytellers? Why do we all have to be so loud and expressive?
Susan Cain really brings home the idea that introverted people make all of these amazing contributions, and how society condemns the quiet when they shouldn’t. We don’t all need to talk 24/7 or walk into a room and command its attention by being the one to talk the most.
Don’t get me wrong: I can be loud and friendly…and bubbly AF, but that’s not always in me. I was a dead silent child and all of my report cards note that I did well academically but never spoke. Cain would be like: She is fine…
You can also get free audiobooks for your road trips and crazy CA commutes from the library! Check out Hoopla and Overdrive. I actually wrote a piece for Eline @ Lovely Audiobooks about how to access them if you get stuck. LOVE THAT FREE FEATURE and it’s so easy. Plus, no late fees.
I had such a great time making this post with you, Christine! And I love your audiobook selection. I just bought Crazy Rich Asians. And I also really want to listen to a Neil Gaiman narrated audio. But I always end up getting the BBC plays for his books, they’re so epic.
Thanks so much for collaborating with me. I love this road trip audiobooks book list so much since it’s my first audiobook list on TUL. We might have to do one together every year. I just realized that I should link our Hoopla and Overdrive article to it, too! Maybe I will add in a sentence or two about that.
I loved Crazy Rich Asians before the series really took off or became a movie. I’m so glad it did gain interest, though, because the stories are SO well written and get even better and better as the trilogy progresses.
Gaiman and Levithan both usually narrate their work, which I LOVE.
Well, I’m sick and bedridden, so it seemed like a good time to FINALLY get around to reading this post and perhaps getting some inspiration for my next audiobook. There’s an excellent selection here, though sadly I’ve already heard (or read) most of the ones I’m interested in… does that mean I have a problem, or that I’m killing it?
However! Quiet has been on both our lists for ages, so might need to finally get to it. I kind of find it ironic to listen to a book about silence on audio… but sometimes weird things are brilliant! This SOUNDS (see what I did there?) like one of those times.
Love Mindy Kaling’s books! She’s hilarious. In general, I actually really enjoy listening to entertainer’s audiobooks (if read by them). They just tend to be, well… entertaining (me so good with words today). So much Neil Gaiman and no Neverwhere! By far my fave! If you haven’t read it, I thoroughly recommend!
Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered of course sounds right up my alley, but I tried listening to their podcast once and just didn’t engage with their voices, so should probably pass on their audiobook, right?
I hope that you are feeling much better today!
I think that since you have read or listened to all of these audiobooks that you are killing it. But I have to say that as well because besides some of Eline’s suggestions, you know I’ve read, listened, watched, etc all of them too.
Quiet is definitely one that I think you will enjoy. I almost want to listen (or read it this time) again to see how I can apply Cain’s theories to the world of blogging. I feel like even in writing, introverted and extroverted blogging is totally a thing. Take for example those damn Facebook groups too. Cough, Cough. You are right: I never thought about listening to an audiobook about introverts (and quiet). GAHAHAHAHA. I love listening to nonfiction. It just sinks in better. I am too crazed to focus these days.
Mindy Kaling is hilarious. I just saw somewhere that she is doing a motivational speech for bloggers. I think it’s about content creation. Wish I remembered where I saw it…might have to google it. I always love with actors and actresses read audiobooks–they are great.
I haven’t read Neverwhere by Gaiman. I’ll check it out! Thanks.
Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered is on my list and one of Eline’s choices that I am dying to listen to or read. I’ve heard so much about it. Voices is a hard one… I took this brilliant SEO course but the instructor’s voice just drove me insane. I guess that might be mean…but even her emphasis, pauses, and tone just UGHHH!! BUT HER CONTENT WAS SO GOOD. I feel you.
I think I definitely need the Science of Mindfulness audiobook! And I didn’t even know that “Big Little Lies” was in audiobook format. Love it!
Great list.
Have you seen the HBO series for Big Little Lies? I only watched the first season, but I was SO excited when I heard the book was becoming a TV show. I thought that the producers did a great job and really stuck to the original storyline. Can’t imagine what Season 2 is like since there wasn’t a second book. Not that I am complaining. I will take it all.
Thank you.
Definitely bookmarking some of these! We’re off on a big Scottish road trip next week and some of these will be perfect! Now I just have to persuade Dom to listen to the sexy smutty books?
I cannot wait to hear more about this road trip. As you know, I’ve never been to Scotland so I cannot wait to see castles and history. AND BOOZE!!! Have a great trip!
Thank you for sharing amazing audiobooks for a road trip. I find some useful audiobooks in your books i which I prefer in my travel. Thank you so much for sharing this audiobooks for the road trip.
Thank you! I am so glad that you found a few new great audiobook titles to check out.
I’ll definitely have to add Good Omens to my list! I’ve seen the show but have yet to read the book. And, being a major fan of audiobooks, I think that’s probably how I’ll be “reading” it 🙂 Thanks for sharing a fantastic list of goodies!
My husband is currently reading Good Omens as we speak. Gaiman is always amazing. I’m glad you enjoyed this list. Thank you!
I think “Small Great Things” is an important book that should be read by everyone. I also loved listening to “Circe”, “A Gentleman in Moscow”, and “The Good Lord Bird” (this last one, about slavery and John Brown, uses the “n-word” liberally, but it’s beautifully read by Michael Boatman).
Yes, I agree about Small Great Things. I want to read A Gentleman in Moscow. I’ve heard great things. Thank you for the recs!
I actually really enjoy the driving part of a long road trip :’) I feel like I can switch it up with podcasts, audio dramas, and music! I’m not really an audiobook listener, but I absolutely love the idea of listening to one whilst driving. It’s so nice to see some familiar favs in this list as well!
That’s awesome. I am glad that I recently started finding (and getting into) great podcasts, too. Audiobooks are so fun, especially when there are multiple narrators.
Truely awesome Audiobook Collection for Roadtrips.
Though I don’t get much chance to travel, I do listen audiobooks during my way of office and coming back from it.
Thanks for sharing this awesome list.
I’m loving it and definitely bookmarking this.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. I used to have such long commutes to work — audiobooks are perfect for traffic.
