What time will I arrive at my destination

The estimated time of arrival is the time at which any cargo, airplane, ship, or vehicle is predicted to reach a given destination, e.g., a bus company will provide an ETA for its journeys based on the average speed expected for a bus over a specific journey. The distance to travel is divided by the speed and this gives an approximate estimate of the time the bus will arrive. Of course, this does not allow for unpredictable events that may happen during the course of a journey, e.g., accidents, breakdowns, poor weather, etc.

ETA Calculation Example

Imagine that you've been on vacation at a spot 600 miles from your hometown. You are expecting to keep up an average speed of 60 mph on your journey home, and you have built five 15 minute rest breaks into your schedule, so 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes) in total. You plan to set off on August 30, 2020, at 2 PM. With this information, we can find out your ETA by taking total drive time (total distance divided by average speed plus total time spent on stops) and adding it to your time of departure, thus:

It's our mission to deliver quality tools that are easy to use, and we felt we're not really doing that ideal full justice with this calculator. As a small team looking after a wide selection of calculators, databases, and articles, we just don't have the capacity to maintain this calculator at a standard we'd be happy with.

So, with a heavy heart, we decided to take the Travel Time Calculator offline for good.

That said, the Time Zone Duration Calculator does the same basic calculation, giving you the time span between one point in time in one time zone and another point in time in another time zone. So, if you enter the start and end locations, dates, and times of your flight, the Time Zone Duration Calculator will calculate the true travel time for you, taking into account all time differences and any possible clock changes.

Use the Quality Carriers Trip Time Calculator to find out the details of your trip. Start by entering your City origin, and your Destination City into this unique route planner. You’ll quickly receive pertinent details about your trip. Details like total distance, driving hours, the amount of inspections, meal & fuel hours, and rest hours.

The drive time calculator - also known as the travel time calculator, is our innovative tool created exclusively for drivers. It helps you find out the estimated time of arrival (ETA) at your car trip destination and determine the fuel costs of the journey. So, if you are planning a vacation trip with friends in a seaside resort or would like to estimate the travel time to home by car, check out our drive time calculator!

Estimated time of arrival

Estimated time of arrival (ETA) is the time when a vehicle, ship, aircraft, or cargo is expected to arrive at a particular place.

For example, a particular cruise bus may have an ETA calculated based on the expected average speed on a particular road. The travel distance is simply divided by the speed to roughly estimate the arrival time. This method does not consider any unexpected events (such as car accidents on the road or bad weather conditions) that may occur on the way to the driver's destination.

Drive time calculator - how to use it?

Our travel time calculator assesses your total car drive time and the estimated time of arrival (date & time). Also, in the "Money" section, you find out the total cost of a drive and exact cost per person.

First, you need to type in the following values:

1. Trip distance (km or miles);
2. Average drive speed (km/h or mph);
3. Total breaks time during the drive; and
4. Departure time.

In the "Money" section, to obtain information about costs (total & per person), you need to fill in some more data:

1. Car fuel consumption (L/100km; MPG - both UK&USA);
2. Fuel price; and
3. Number of traveling passengers.

Travel time to home

Let's assume we are driving home with friends from a winter vacation in the mountains.

• The distance to our home city is 850 km.
• We are driving with an average speed of 110 km/h.
• We will make three short 15-minute breaks and 1-hour long dinner break, which gives:

Total time of breaks = 3×15 min + 1h = 1h 45min

• We will start the trip on the 21 February 2018 at 10:00 am.

Now, the most interesting question - when will we be at home?
Let's calculate the total drive time:

Total drive time = (distance/average drive speed) + total breaks time = 9h 28min

Arrival time: 21 February 2018 at 07:28 pm

Now, we want to know how much this journey will cost us. With our drive time calculator, the answer to this question is very simple!

• Let's assume that our SUV car takes 9.5 liters of fuel per 100 km.
• The gasoline price is €1.22 per liter.
• We are traveling as a group of 4 friends -> Number of passengers = 4

The answer to the question is below:

Total drive cost = (distance/100) × car fuel consumption × fuel price = €98.52

110 km/h0

Super! Now, we know all we need - the exact travel time to home with an estimated arrival time and how much each passenger needs to pay for that journey. Let's start the engine! 🙂

We also have a great tool called traffic density calculator that helps you analyze the traffic on any road.
