How long does it take to drive from Phoenix Arizona to Arlington Virginia for example how many hours or how many times would you need to stop and stay the night etc?

Answer 1

To answer that question properly several factors would have to be checked out in advance: * First there are three different Arlington Virginias that may be the destination but for our purposes we will only deal with the Arlington closest to Washington DC which is 2,302.82 miles away and has an estimated driving time of 35 hours and 15 minutes to complete according to MapQuest. * The condition of the vehicle would be relevant as would the fuel efficiency. * The route selected would be relevant as would the intentional stops on the journey, (Even a quick layover to visit with Grandma in Spokane will add a lot of time to the journey.) * The time of year would matter because while most of the trip is in temperate areas winter driving does require greater care and slower speeds. * The number of available drivers and the number of passengers can make a big difference because more people means more "potty stops" and more drivers can increase the available hours of driving time and can help with navigation. * Driver skill and habits. * Luck, since a flat tire will add an hour as would a speeding ticket. * Tolerance and endurance will matter because some people simply can't handle a 12 hour day behind the wheel. * Schedules matter since if it must be done, most people will push themselves beyond a reasonable point. * The answer will vary but two overnight stops sounds good.
