How long will it take to drive 200 miles?
My girlfriend and I are attending college in different cities. I want to surprise her with a visit, but I’m not sure how to plan my weekend around the drive. How long is it going to take to drive 200 miles to see her?

Long-distance relationships take a lot of love and a lot of work, so it’s sweet you’re taking the time to visit your girlfriend! Everyone loves a good
road trip
, but it’s tough to sign on to a long car ride if you don’t know how long it’s going to be.Your driving speed is going to have the biggest impact on how long it takes to drive 200 miles. If you drive on roads with a lower speed limit, it will take longer to get there. If you can drive on an interstate or open highway, the trip will probably be a lot shorter.
Here are some common speeds and the length of time it’ll take to travel 200 miles:
| Speed | Length of time|
| —- | —- |
| 45 mph | 4 hours 24 minutes |
| 55 mph | 3 hours 38 minutes |
| 60 mph | 3 hours 18 minutes |
| 65 mph | 3 hours 4 minutes |
| 75 mph | 2 hours 40 minutes |
