How far is it driving to Destin from Atlanta?

My cousin lives in Destin, FL, and I’m going to be in Atlanta next weekend for work. How feasible would it be to drive to visit her on my off day before I fly home? How far is it driving to Destin from Atlanta?

It’s always a nice feeling when your work trip is in convenient proximity to friends and family! That said, the driving distance to
Destin
from
Atlanta
is about 313 miles, which adds up to around five hours and fifteen minutes in the car.
While this may be a bit lengthy to do as a round-trip, if you can manage to book your return flight out of
Florida
Destin Fort Walton Beach Airport or Northwest Florida Regional Airport, in particular—it’s totally doable for your last day.
If not, you may want to see if your cousin could come stay with you in
Georgia
for the night. You could also meet up somewhere in the middle—like
Montgomery, AL
—so that you’re each driving five or six hours round-trip instead of ten or twelve.
However you decide to visit your cousin, you’ll want to make sure your
rental car
is properly insured for the trip—
