How far is Raleigh NC from Columbia SC?
Driving from Raleigh, NC to Columbia, SC is about a 3.5 hour drive. I recently moved to Raleigh from Columbia and after all the trips back and forth. You can go 2 ways to get there which I prefer to take I40 to I95S to I20W to Columbia, it’s more scenic or you can go I85 towards Charlotte and pick up I77 to Columbia. Your pick they are both the same distance but there is more construction on the I85 alternative. I have done the trip in 2.5 hours on both routes as well, so it depends on the circumstances.
