The Ipswich to Cambridge courier route
The Ipswich to Cambridge route covers 46 miles, with an estimated drive time of 55 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Under off-peak conditions the journey takes approximately 50 minutes; during peak traffic (typically 7:30-9:30am and 4:30-6:30pm on weekdays) this rises to around 69 minutes.
Ipswich (population 138,000) sits in the East of England region (postcodes IP). Ipswich's transport links — A14 west to Cambridge and Midlands, A12 south to London, A12 north to Lowestoft. Ipswich 65min to London Liverpool Street. Stansted Airport 50mi from city centre. — give drivers fast access to the regional road network.
Cambridge (population 145,000) is in the East of England region, covered by CB postcodes. The destination city connects via the M11. You can book delivery to any Cambridge address, from the city centre to outlying business parks and residential areas.
Local knowledge for Ipswich collections: Ipswich's BT Adastral Park at Martlesham Heath — a major telecoms research centre — and the Port of Felixstowe generate specialist courier demand for tech equipment and port documentation. The A14 is the key route west but suffers congestion near Bury St Edmunds. Hauly drivers use the A12 for direct access to London and Colchester, and the A1152 for cross-country routes to Woodbridge.
The estimated fuel cost for this route is £11 (diesel van at ~30mpg, £1.55/L; Hauly prices include a live fuel adjustment), and the journey produces approximately 19 kg of CO₂. Because Hauly uses dedicated vehicles — your item is the only delivery in the van — there are no extra miles from depot detours or multi-drop routes, making this a more efficient option than parcel networks for same-day delivery.
