How far is Detroit from Chicago driving?
I want to drive from Chicago to Detroit to see the White Sox play the Tigers. I’ve never made the trek before, so I’m not sure what to expect. What’s the distance from Chicago to Detroit and how long will the drive take?

Comerica Park is consistently voted one of the best parks in the big leagues, so enjoy! The drive isn’t bad either, as it’s about 280 miles and takes around four hours and 15 minutes to drive from Chicago to Detroit if you take I-90 and I-94.
While you can easily make the drive in one day, adding another day or two to your trip would allow you to enjoy some other cool experiences along the way! Consider:
- Renting a dune buggy and hitting the dunes at Indiana Dunes National Park
- Soaking in the view and grabbing a drink on the balcony of one of the many bars and restaurants along Lake Michigan in St. Joseph, Michigan
- Exploring the strange attractions and oddities at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum
- Touring Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor—the largest stadium in the U.S. and the third-largest in the world with a capacity of 107,000
Since you’re heading on an epic road trip, make sure that you have the proper car insurance to stay protected. You might even want to consider adding roadside assistance or
towing and labor coverage
to your policy just to be on the safe side.If you haven’t reviewed your insurance policy recently, download the
