UK Drive Time Calculator

Drive times are estimates based on UK road network data. They do not account for real-time traffic.

What is drive time?

Drive time is the estimated time to travel by road between two locations. Unlike straight-line distance, drive time accounts for the actual road network — motorways, A-roads, urban streets — and typical driving speeds on each road type.

Drive time between UK postcodes is commonly used for:

• Field service scheduling — how long will it take an engineer to reach a customer?
• Delivery time estimates — when will the package arrive?
• Service area planning — how far can we realistically travel in a day?
• Estate agent tools — how far is this property from the office?
