Driving Time Calculator

Driving time between two cities.

Travelmath helps you find the driving time based on actual directions for your road trip. You can find out how long it will take to drive between any two cities, airports, states, countries, or zip codes. This can also help you plan the best route to travel to your destination. Compare the results with the flight time calculator to see how much longer it might take to drive the distance instead of flying. You can also print out pages with a travel map.

You may want to search for the driving distance instead. Or if you're thinking about flying, make sure you compare flight times between airports. For a long road trip, check the cost calculator to see if it's within your budget.

How to Use: Travel Time Calculator

With the Travel Time Calculator , you can calculate the travel time for any trip including up to 6 transfers. It also shows local times, average speed, distance, and more.

Start with Your Itinerary

Where and when are you going.

This service only works if you know both the start and end times; it does not calculate how long a flight typically takes.

• Departure : Enter or select your departure location from the drop-down list.
• Fill in the date and time of departure.
• Arrival : Enter your final destination, date and time.
• If you are stopping over anywhere, click Add transfer and fill in your transfer location, as well as the arrival and departure time. You can add up to 6 transfer cities to your itinerary.
• To delete a transfer leg, tick the box next to the transfer and click the Delete Transfer button.
• Click the Calculate button.

How Do I read the Results?

Total actual traveling time.

The total traveling time is the actual amount of time the trip takes from your departure city to your final destination, according to your itinerary. This calculated time takes into account changes in time zones, time spent in transfer cities and daylight saving time (DST).

Clock changes

This indicates the difference in local time between the departure city and the arrival city. If the results are shown with a minus sign (–), you have to set your clock back the given amount of hours. If this result includes a plus sign (+), set your clock forward the indicated number of hours.

Apparent traveling time

The apparent traveling time is the difference in local time between the departure city and the arrival city without taking into account the change of time zone. For example, if you leave Los Angeles at 09:00 (9:00 am) and arrive in New York at 18:00 (6:00 pm), then the apparent traveling time is 9 hours. However, the actual traveling time is only 6 hours, because you subtract the time difference between the cities, which is 3 hours.

Total distance

The calculated total distance is the total distance traveled from departure city to arrival city, which includes all transfer cities. The distance is displayed in kilometers or miles. You can change this in the settings .

Average traveling speed

The average traveling speed is estimated based on the time of departure and arrival given in the travel itinerary. The average traveling speed does not take stop-overs into consideration; it is calculated as if you keep moving continuously.

Current time and weather

This information displays the local time and weather conditions in the departure and arrival cities at the time you calculated the results. As time and weather changes, go to our World Clock to get the current time and weather information, as well as the weather forecast for your departure or arrival city.

Sunrise and sunset

The local times for sunrise and sunset in the departure and arrival cities are based on the time when the upper part of the Sun becomes visible above the horizon, while sunset is when the last part of the Sun is about to disappear below the horizon. Hills or mountains are not taken into consideration.

Length of day

The length of day calculates the current date’s time from sunrise to sunset for the departure city and arrival city. You can find out the length of day for any date or location with the Sunrise/Sunset Calculator .

Dialing codes

The international dialing codes for the departure and arrival cities are displayed here if you need to make a phone call to someone in another country or if someone is trying to call you from another country.

The time table

The time table breaks down the travel itinerary from the start destination to the end destination, including all transfer cities if applicable. The Event column lists the starting location followed by all transfer cities and ending at your final destination. The Time since column indicates the accumulated total amount of time spent so far in each part of your itinerary, which totals to the total traveling time. The columns located under Local time in show the local times in all of the selected cities at each step of the itinerary. The times highlighted in bold correspond to the departure and arrival times located in the Event column.

The map shows the shortest possible path between the selected cities, but the actual route is usually longer because flights do not always follow the shortest route. The map projection makes land and oceans much wider near the south and north poles. The heading/course/bearing during a flight varies in most cases.

Ratings and Reviews

Option needed to select flying or driving.

First off I’ve been using this app for a few years now for truck driving. It usually works well. However, recently I’ve been noticing of the app automatically selecting flying miles to with no option to switch to driving miles. Not good! Example: picking up freight in Rockford IL and heading to Bonduruant, IA. The app automatically showed “flying” miles and there was no indication of driving mile calculation. I’m finding this happening more and more with this app. I need “drive”miles calculated. Please fix this or add an option to select flying or driving.

I loved this app so much until recently. I always counted on it and it was priceless to me . Until I put in a location and wanted to see how far to my destination and all it shows is via flying. Some locations to a particular destination will work however, others only show via flying and the bar across the top only shows flying. You have no option to choose driving like I used to . I did delete app and reinstalled but the same problem. Ugh

Driving Distances.

I have used this app very often and it has helped to provide me information to plan my trips. Mostly, I drive therefore I’m more interested in getting driving distances not flight distances, however very recently I discovered that in many instances the app shows only flight distances which surprised me that the ability to see driving distances is no longer available. I will be happy if this is reviewed and brought back. Thank you.
