Road Trip Time Planner
Estimate the real door-to-door duration of your next journey. Enter the total route distance, your realistic average cruising speed, how many breaks you plan, and the typical length of each pause to forecast arrival time with fewer surprises.
Driving conditions vary—always allow additional buffer time for safety and legal rest requirements.
Examples
- 600 km at 100 km/h with 2 stops of 0.5 h ⇒ 7.00 hours
- 300 km at 75 km/h with 1 stop of 0.25 h ⇒ 4.25 hours
- 850 km at 95 km/h with 3 rest stops of 0.33 h ⇒ 10.29 hours
FAQ
Does this calculation include traffic delays or roadworks?
It does not account for unexpected congestion, so lower your average speed input if you anticipate heavy traffic.
Can I enter distances in miles and speeds in mph?
Yes—just keep distance and speed in the same unit system so the hours calculation remains consistent.
What if each stop has a different length?
Use an average stop duration or run the calculator multiple times with separate stop counts for more detailed itineraries.
How can I convert the decimal result to hours and minutes?
Take the fractional part and multiply by 60; for example 7.5 hours equals 7 hours and 30 minutes.
Is overnight rest included in the total?
If you plan to split the trip across days, include longer layovers as part of your stop count or run day-by-day calculations.
Additional Information
- The driving portion divides distance by average speed, so using realistic speeds for the route improves accuracy.
- Stop duration is multiplied by the number of breaks, making it easy to model fuel, meals, or sightseeing pauses.
- Results are shown in hours; multiply decimal hours by 60 to find the minutes component.
- Convert miles to kilometres by multiplying by 1.60934 if you prefer metric inputs.
