"Hit the road" can also be used if you are going on a journey or road trip. (Road trip means a journey by automobile.)
So basically, "hit the road" can be used almost anytime you want to leave, and usually leave quickly.
Another alternative is to say "take off." ex: 1. "This party is boring, let's take off." 2. "What time are you taking off for your road trip tomorrow?"
Great question Lisa!
