Road Trip Itinerary FAQ
How many hours a day should I plan to drive?
Five to seven hours of actual driving (roughly 300–400 miles) is what most people sustain without the last leg turning miserable. Add 15–20% on top for fuel, food, and stretch stops — the Drive time column is there so an overloaded day shows up before you're in it.
How do I add up the drive time for each day?
Download the CSV, open it in Excel or Google Sheets, and enter plain numbers in the Drive time column (4.5 rather than “4.5 h”) so =SUM works. For a quick trip you can just eyeball the column on the printed sheet.
Can I use this for a one-day road trip?
Yes. Open it in the builder, delete the Day 2 and Day 3 rows, and use the Time column alone. Keep the Notes column — it's where “closed Mondays” and “fuel up before the pass” live.
