Common questions

How is halfway from Reno computed?
We place the halfway point where each driver has used half of the total drive time, then rank nearby towns by split fairness, detour, size, and hotel supply. All 149 guides from Reno use the same estimated drive-time model, so numbers are comparable across pairs.
What is the most central city to meet someone from Reno?
Sacramento — the meeting town Truckee, CA is about 44 min from Reno and 1 h 51 from Sacramento, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Reno.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Reno?
Portland, at an estimated 42 h 03 and 2690.7 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Brookings, SD.
Can I meet two people from Reno at once?
The pair guides split one pair of cities. For three starting points, test midpoints in the calculator or plan a multi-stop route with the stop planner.
