Multi-day drive days calculator

Planning a long road trip starts with a simple question: how many days will you actually spend behind the wheel if you refuse to drive until midnight every night?

This multi-day drive days calculator answers that question from the numbers you already know — the total distance of the corridor and the maximum distance or the maximum hours you are willing to drive in a single day. Enter kilometres or miles, optionally pair a daily hour cap with an average moving speed, and the solver returns whole driving days, hotel nights, the leftover distance on the last day, and an even daily pace that never exceeds your comfort limit. The arithmetic is deterministic and closed: no maps, no live traffic, and no calendar dates. The same lib.js powers the free browser widget and the prepaid API, so a family itinerary and a fleet script never disagree on whether eighteen hundred miles at four hundred miles a day is four days or five.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"distance":1800,"max_distance_per_day":400}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "distance": 1800,
    "max_distance_per_day": 400
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "distance": 1800,
    "max_distance_per_day": 400
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"distance":1800,"max_distance_per_day":400}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"distance":1800,"max_distance_per_day":400}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/travel/driving-days", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "distance": 1800,
  "max_distance_per_day": 400
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "travel.driving_days",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.
