What's the longest drive you've done in one day?

We just drove down to San Antonio and back. And, I think that's the longest we've driven in one day. It was about 16-17 hours, and we did it in one day, and then on the way back we drove straight through the night. o_0

I've done basically that before as far as a "ride"... as for me myself driving I think 9-10 or so in one day.

Medford, Oregon (somewhere near Medford, anyway) to Denver, Colorado.

Fun.

Very long. 17 hours or so, I think.

I actually drove for 9 hours down to San Antonio, so that's the farthest I've ever driven at one time.

I have ridden in the car for 7-8 hrs straight going to Kansas City (which we have done I don't know how many times)

When we went to Las Vages we drove from Ok to either AZ or NM and stayed the night, then we drove on through to NV! yay me!

If you stay the night somewhere that doesn't count.

18 hour straight. We then stopped at a rest stop so my parents could sleep...and continued our journey for another 6 hours...

From DC to St. Louis nonstop. That's my longest and I forget how long.

We're actually driving to Florida for Christmas and since we have 4 drivers in the family, all of us are tying to get my mom let us go non stop. Sadly she's putting her foot down and demanding a good night sleep at a Motel 6 to split up the fun

I'm not sure, we've driven from GA to DC, which took awhile. Then there was the time we went to VA...so I'm sure.

The longest drive I've made in one day as a passenger--Twin Cities to somewhere in Michigan. 17 hours I think. Made it to Niagra Falls the next day.

The farthest with me behind the wheel--summer of '06 we (meaning me and my friends) drove down to Nebraska to visit one of our number who was living down there that summer. We took two cars, one of them mine. It was about 400 miles if I remember correctly (Twin Cities to Rock Port Missouri [which is where the motel was--our friend was in Brownville Nebraska, which was right across the river]), and it took us around 9 hours. But that's because we took our time--normally it would've taken closer to 6 or 7. When all was said and done I'd put over 1000 miles on my car over three days.

Longest road trip I've ever taken was just over 5000 miles over three weeks. And I wasn't driving that time.

5 hour trips are pretty normal for me.

Do I get bonus points for making the 400 mile round trip every other weekend from the time I met Continental Admiral in January of 2006 until we got married in March of 2007!? $\:D/$ It isn't that long of a drive but... its repetitious.

I believe that the longest drive I've been on was from here to Destin, FL... It was somewhere between 11-13 hours.

Since there are no more than 24 hours in a day, the longest I've ever been in a car in one day would have to be 24 hours.

And then we stayed in the car for a few more 24 hours...

It was probably about 15-17 hours...Thanksgiving traffic on the way to Connecticut. Not fun. At all. To cap it all off, the lens in my glasses fell out on the way there so I was practically blind the rest of the way.

I listened to a billion Odyssey episodes on that trip.

I went to Alabama. In one day and it was an 13 hour drive with a 21 month old, a 9 year old and a 12 year old and my parents I was going to die after that.

Our longest drive has probably been the 13-15 trip from Washington, D.C. down to Orlando, FL. Your butt really starts to get sore when you're sitting for that long... not to mention a lackage of leg room.

Danadelfos · Post by **Danadelfos** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:36 pm

I think our longest total hours drive over two days was 22 hours.

14-20 hours, I think. My parents even considered driving to Montana. Thankfully, we flew instead.
