Planning a road trip sounds like fun and I’m sure you’ll have a blast! How long one mile in minutes driving is depends on the speed you’re driving, though it can range from 3 minutes driving 20 mph to 55 seconds driving 65 mph.
Here are the driving times to drive a mile at various speeds:
  • 20 mph — 3 minutes
  • 25 mph — 2 minutes and 24 seconds
  • 35 mph — 1 minute and 43 seconds
  • 45 mph — 1 minute and 20 seconds
  • 50 mph — 1 minute and 12 seconds
  • 65 mph — 55 seconds
Regardless of what speed you’re driving, having the appropriate car insurance is important to keep both you and your car protected.
