How long is 9 miles driving?

I need to pick my friend up from the airport. However, I haven’t driven to the airport yet because I just moved to my current city. How long will it take to drive 9 miles?

Picking up your friend so they don’t have to
Uber
is a nice gesture! Nine miles driving should take between 8 to 15 minutes, depending on a number of factors.
A great way to estimate how long it might take is to use a
traffic app
or do a test drive. This should give you a basic idea of when you need to leave home.
If you want to know how long it will take to drive 9 miles based on your average speed, use these estimates:
  • 35 mph: 15 minutes, 26 seconds
  • 45 mph: 12 minutes
  • 55 mph: 9 minutes, 49 seconds
  • 65 mph: 8 minutes, 18 seconds
  • 70 mph: 7 minutes, 43 seconds
