It's a shame because how far you will get in a day of driving is not exactly set in stone. If you're alert and in the zone, you may wish to go farther than the hotel you booked. If you've hit bad weather, traffic, etc. then the hotel you booked couple be a couple hundred miles past when you'd prefer to stop driving for the night. It's really nice to be able to stop when you feel like it.

Making a booking at ~4-6pm for that night works just fine. I have even made a few bookings at like 11pm. A phone call while getting food / gas is more convent than driving somewhere. Now, you might pay more that way, but outside of city's hotel rooms are really cheap.

And even if you spend half your energy and three-quarters your fuel the whole day, there's no chance that the inn you planned to stay at is vacant.
