How far is Charlotte from Atlanta driving?

My brother recently moved to Atlanta, and I’m hoping to visit him. How long will it take for me to get there from Charlotte?

Visiting a city like Atlanta is always fun! The good news is that the drive from
Charlotte
to
Atlanta
is about 300 miles, which should take you four to five hours to complete, depending on the
traffic conditions
, how many stops you make, and your route.
This is an estimate that assumes you are leaving from the heart of Charlotte and arriving in the heart of Atlanta. If you intend to travel from one suburb to another, the time could vary significantly.
Atlanta is a huge city, and there are a lot of fun things that you can do when you get there. Some highlights include:
  • The Georgia Aquarium
  • The Coca-Cola Factory
  • The College Football Hall of Fame
  • Countless bars and restaurants
Once you’ve finished
your road trip
, it should take a similar amount of time to return to Charlotte. Rush-hour traffic is notoriously bad in Atlanta, so be mindful of that when you plan your arrival and departure times.
Before setting out for your road trip, you should consider revisiting your car insurance plan. With the car insurance comparison app
