Tefilat HaDerech - the traveler's prayer - cannot be said before one has left the city limits; defined as 70 and ⅔ Amot (~35 meters / 115 feet) after the last house.
Preferably it should be said after one has travelled at least one "Miel" (~1 Km / ~0.6 miles) from the city limit.
If you're overnighting on a multi-day trip, you can say Tefilat HaDerech before leaving for the day.
