The approximate distance from Downtown Toronto to Kitchener is 110 km/66 miles. It would take you about 1 hour and 15 minutes to drive in good driving conditions.
You should estimate about 2 hours and 30 minutes - 3 hours during rush hour, as your average speed will be about half than usual.
Therefore, you may want to depart Toronto by 5 or 5:30 am just to be safe. You are likely to arrive by 7:30 am.
If you can....get a hotel in Kitchener. Believe me it's not worth the hassle coming from Toronto. If you're not familiar with the area...the traffic is horrendous.How long will it take me to drive to Kitchener from downtown Toronto?
seriously one can't predict cuz Hwy 10 is always blocked during rush hour and it shall take only one crash to bring the traffic to a crawl. So leave as early as possible! Best of luck
Correct the 401 is a aprking lot from 6 am to 10 am M-F, why not take, Gardener Exspwy to HWY 427 to Hwy 7 and follow it, it goes right through K.W and merges with HWY 8 to Stratford outside of it, and it is a bit faster, it is a rural highway so the posted speed limit for a rookie might be a bit slower.
If you have a laptop and want to Google or Yahoo MapQuest the journey, just add HWY7 into your statement.
If I were you I would leave at 5:30 am. It is very unpredictable on the 401, one crash and you are stuck for hours. Also there is construction on Highway 8 near Kitchener, which you will have to drive through. Better safe than sorry....if early, time to have a relaxing coffee. Best wishes.
