Sumter to Flint Road Trip

Day 1 · Tue, Sep 29
Flint, MI

Arrival in Flint

  1. Drive: Sumter to Flint — Take the fastest live-navigation route north from 1816 Appaloosa Drive to 4069 Brown Street; plan for about 13–14 hours behind the wheel, plus breaks. To arrive between 10 PM and midnight, leave around 7:30–8:30 AM today; allow extra time for traffic, meals, and fuel. Expect roughly 850–900 miles. At 35 MPG, that’s about 24–26 gallons, or approximately $75–$90 at $3.00–$3.50 per gallon.
  2. Highway rest stops — Along the route, take regular breaks to stretch, eat, and refuel; budget 1.5–2.5 hours total for stops, and check current traffic and road conditions before setting out.
  3. 4069 Brown Street — Flint arrival, late evening; allow 15–30 minutes to park and unload. The outline lists Sumter as the journey destination, but the requested destination is Flint; this plan follows Flint and does not include a return drive.

Early morning departure

Leave 1816 Appaloosa Drive around 7:30 AM today, Tuesday, September 29. From Sumter, follow your live navigation north toward Flint—a likely route uses I-26 and I-77, then connects to major interstates toward Michigan. Plan on roughly 13–14 hours of driving for about 850–900 miles, but traffic, construction, and the final route can change that estimate. Leaving at 7:30 AM gives you a reasonable shot at arriving between 10 PM and midnight, including breaks; leaving at 8:30 AM could make the later end of your arrival window tight.

Highway stops and Flint arrival

Take regular breaks to stretch, eat, and refuel, and budget 1.5–2.5 hours total for stops. Check live traffic and road conditions before leaving, and reassess your arrival time during the drive. At 35 MPG, expect to use about 24–26 gallons; at $3.00–$3.50 per gallon, fuel should cost approximately $75–$90. On arrival at 4069 Brown Street, allow 15–30 minutes to park and unload. I’m treating Flint as your destination; the itinerary outline’s return-to-Sumter field conflicts with your request, so this plan does not include a return drive.
