Default sidewall damage.

i recently just curbed my car and when i got home looked at my tire there is a small chunk of rubber missing from the sidewall maybe 1" long 1" wide and maybe .3" deep should i replace the tire or would it be good for a little bit? cause i have to make a 300KM trip this weekend and want to know before i head out. there are no belts showing or leaking air. if you need pictures i will be able to post them in a bit

Go to a tire shop and get their opinion. --> Hard to say without actually seeing it though. If it is as bad as it sounds (the size), I'd replace it. Better safe than sorry.
