How many miles is 20 minutes of driving?
I’m looking for a new job, but I don’t want to put tons of miles on my car. Based on where I live, my potential employer told me that the commute is about 20 minutes. How many miles is a 20-minute drive?

Figuring out how many miles you can drive in 20 minutes depends on your speed. If you were driving 30 miles per hour in the city versus 60 miles per hour on the highway, you’d cover a lot more ground in 20 minutes on the highway.
Assuming that you’re on the highway, you would travel 20 miles in 20 minutes if driving 60 miles per hour. If you were in the city and averaged 30 miles per hour, 20 minutes of driving would only amount to 10 miles.
If you want to limit the number of miles you drive, use a
map or GPS app
. These tools can identify the shortest route to your destination by taking speed limits and current traffic into account.Since you’re planning to commute regularly, make sure you have great car insurance—and aren’t overpaying for it—with the
