How many hours does driving from Detroit to Atlanta take?
My mom wants to visit my brother in Atlanta, but I’m worried her old Honda Civic won’t hold up. I told her that it should be fine if the trip is under four hours, but I don’t know if it is! How long does driving from Detroit to Atlanta usually take?

Driving old cars long distances is never the best idea. The good news is a
Honda Civic
is a fairly reliable car. Driving from Detroit to Atlanta will take about 10 hours and 40 minutes. As long as your mom’s car is in good shape, it should hold up for the drive.
Of course, she should consider taking safety precautions before she hits the road. Here are some good ways to prepare for a road trip:
- Check the tire pressure, oil, coolant, brakes, lights, and signals
- Bring along a first aid kit, water, snacks, jumper cables, and overnight items
- Try to pack light to reduce mileage
- Take breaks and share driving responsibilities to stay alert
But most importantly, your mom will need the right car insurance coverage. Given the amount of time she’ll spend on the road, she’s at a higher risk of accidents, injuries, and vehicle damage. Having the right coverage can ensure she’s financially protected.
