How long is 7 miles driving?

I want to volunteer this summer and I found a community center 7 miles away. Since I’m already donating my time, I don’t want the commute to be lengthy. Approximately how long is 7 miles if I’m driving?

Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community and feel good about yourself! The good news is that you won’t spend too much time in the car driving that far.
Depending on your speed, 7 miles driving should take 6 to 16 minutes.
However, several factors are at play that will change how long your drive takes:
  • Your speed
  • Traffic and construction zones
  • Whether you’re driving in the city, on the highway, or a mix of both
If you want a basic idea of how long your drive will take, here are some average speeds and their corresponding timeframes to go 7 miles:
  • 25 mph: 16 minutes, 48 seconds
  • 35 mph: 12 minutes
  • 45 mph: 9 minutes, 20 seconds
  • 55 mph: 7 minutes, 38 seconds
  • 65 mph: 6 minutes, 28 seconds
  • 70 mph: 6 minutes
A great way to ensure you get to your volunteer job on time is to leave early or use a

to get to your destination as fast as possible.
