You all know me though, I'm an early riser so departing at the crack of dawn is not a problem with me. For example, leaving at 6AM would allow us to arrive somewhere between 4 and 5PM provided nobody has any tire changes or what have you that could add to the time.. Still daylight then and some time to get settled.
