How far is it driving to Delaware from Washington D.C.?

I’m planning a trip to D.C. this spring, but I’m trying to visit some friends in Delaware, too. How far is the drive from Washington D.C. to Delaware? My friends live in Wilmington specifically.

Spring is a beautiful time to visit the Capital—hopefully, the cherry blossoms will be in bloom for you! The general driving distance from Washington D.C. to
Delaware
is about 89.8 miles, but the trip to
Wilmington
specifically is about 111 miles. Depending on where you’re starting in D.C. and what time of day it is, it should take a little over two hours to get to Wilmington by car.
You’ll likely be
using a highway
, like I-95 North, so keep in mind that you will need to pay a $4 toll once you hit Delaware—the District of Columbia is lucky enough to be toll-free throughout.
Since you’ll be traveling across two different states, you’ll want to make sure your car is well-protected in both of them—
