What Was the Longest Car Ride You’ve Ever Taken?

From Houston, Texas, until Danville, California.

12hr car drive to Atlanta, GA. I only stopped twice for gas and to use the restroom. I had been up for 33 hrs straight by the time I got there and then 5 days later, made the trek back home. It was worth it!!! :o)

From Florida to Texas non- stop, except for gas and potty. We had food and drinks in the car. That was years ago, but a very long trip.

One time I drove from San Jose, CA to Eugene, OR *non-stop.* My Dodge B250 (1 ton cargo van) had a 35 gallon tank and got over 20 MPG. That was a little over 600 miles and about 9-10 hours. Stopped at Eugene to fill up and then drove on into Salem.



Other long trips that did involve stops along the way (rest stops and gas stops) some as a driver and some as a passenger:

San Diego, CA to/from Salem, OR
Alameda, CA to/from Salem, OR (several times)
Denver, CO to/from Richland, WA
Salem, OR to Pueblo, CO (two trucks w/trailers and a mini van; 4 drivers; 47 hours)
San Diego, CA to/from Vegas
Union City, CA to/from Vegas
Union City, CA to/from Reno
Norfolk, VA to Orlando, FL

Let's see...
South Carolina to Michigan, South Carolina to New York (bus ride, still somewhat unpleasant), South Carolina to Washington, DC (also somewhat unpleasant). God, I hate long car rides!

18 hours from Crystal River, Florida to Someplace in Virginia in the most uncomfortable rented car ever.....

It was a bus ride to New York with the band from Kentucky. Miserable bus ride but had a great time in between. New York is really fun when you've got good friends with you.

32 hrs.

Drove alone from Ks to eastern Pennsylvania, 1300 miles, in 2 days.

From middle Texas to New Orleans

9 days. From Atlanta, GA to Anchorage, AK. The nine day drive was preceeded by a 14 hour flight from Italy. It was a looonnng trip/move.

I drove from Virginia, down to the Gulf coast and over to California.

12 hours

probably 13 14 hours one way to some beach . we usually fly if its farther than that

Not sure of time I was young, but Huntingdon, PA to Miami, FL. with few pitstops.
Google says it would be about 20 hours today. 1,211 mi approx.

24 hours straight through.
27 hours with stops.

One from New York to North Carolina...but it was on a bus. I was like six though so I couldn't tell you the exact hours.

From Gainesville GA, to Daytona FL.
8 hours roughly, it was horrible.

as a child: we drove from Los Angeles, CA to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
2700 miles. I was young so I'm uncertain about the details (did we stop to sleep somewhere or did my mom and step dad take turns and we drove straight through?).

as an adult: from Santa Barbara, CA to Dallas, TX.
1500 miles. This was in 2009. We took 3 days for that trip stopping for breaks to stretch, eat, sleep.

I can handle road trips until about 1,000 miles... then it seems to take FOREVER and I always wish I had taken a plane instead.

12-15 hours. With my family from Georgia to some place in the middle of Texas... torture...

From Michigan to California.

22 hours, only got out 3 times for gas/bath break.

Where were you going and coming from?

Houston TX, to Green bay, WI. drove it by myself straight through

About 4, maybe 5 hours. It was in-state traveling.

My family went from Thompson Manitoba to Vernon BC twice a year every year when I was younger, It took about two days.

Hmm about 4 or 5 hours....Luckily I had my bestfriend<3 so it didin't seem that long with him with me. Lol.

18 hours. Green Bay WI to New Orleans LA

Maybe 5,000 miles from Raleigh, N.C. to Glacier Park in Montana and back. Actually more because we took all kinds of side trips on the way - St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Aspen. Most interesting bar was the Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming - it had actual saddles for bar stools! Loved seeing snow on the ground in July at Independence Pass, Colorado.
