Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged.
What is my pickup time at DFW?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights. If you don't have bags, you can schedule your pickup time for 15 mins after you land, or 30 mins for international flights with no bags.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Dallas?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights at DFW, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. Please let us know as soon as possible if your flight number changes. You can always text us if there is a delay. This is helpful since airlines don't always update things online when they are late.
What happens if my flight in Dallas arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at Dallas Fort Worth, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation.

There's no need to confirm again if you've already made a reservation, and received a confirmation email.
How long does it take from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas?
Texas Shuttle trips from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus three and a half hours on the bus with a bunch of people. Rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average). You might think there's no way a bus or another shared ride shuttle company in Dallas or Fort Worth Shuttle would take that long, but they stop and wait 3-5 times to pickup people. Buses and other shuttles also don't leave on your schedule, so you might wait 30 mins - 1.5 hours if the bus is running late. With us it's just you going straight to Fort Worth or Dallas, normally non-stop in a nicer vehicle or shuttle. Carrollton to Fort Worth shuttle
What time should I be picked up?

However, one hour and thirty mins is generally okay. Dallas and Fort Worth Shuttle driving takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good.

Driving Directions: Carrollton to Dallas
Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to a downtown event, or simply exploring the city, knowing the most efficient route from Carrollton to Dallas can save you time and frustration. The primary reference for this guide comes from MapQuest, which lists the shortest drive as 22 minutes covering 19 miles via I‑35E (source: MapQuest). Below you’ll find detailed directions, alternate routes, and practical tips to make your trip as smooth as possible.
Primary Route via I‑35E
Starting from downtown Carrollton (zip 75006), merge onto I‑35E North toward Dallas. Stay on I‑35E for roughly 12 miles, passing the Cedar Hill interchange and the Lake Cliff area. Take exit 429 for Commerce Street and follow the signs toward downtown. This corridor drops you right into the heart of Dallas, near the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and the Arts District. The total distance is about 19 miles, and, under normal traffic conditions, the drive takes around 22 minutes (source: MapQuest).
- Key exits: Exit 429 (Commerce St), Exit 430 (Riverfront Blvd), Exit 431 (仲恺大道/Industrial Blvd).
- Traffic patterns: Expect heavier congestion during the morning rush (7 – 9 a.m.) and evening rush (4:30 – 6:30 p.m.) on I‑35E.
- Toll info: I‑35E is toll‑free for most vehicles, though the Texas 121 Toll (Sam Rayburn Tollway) runs parallel to the north and can be used as an alternate if you have a TxDOT‑compatible tag.
Alternate Routes
If you prefer a less congested path or wish to avoid I‑35E, several alternatives exist:
Via I‑635 (LBJ) and US‑75 (Central Expressway)
From Carrollton, head east on I‑635 West for about 5 miles, then merge onto US‑75 South toward downtown. This route adds roughly 3 miles (≈22 mi total) and can take 25–30 minutes during off‑peak hours. It’s a good option when I‑35E is backed up due to accidents or construction.
Via President George Bush Turnpike (TX‑190) and I‑35E
Travel east on TX‑190 (President George Bush Turnpike) from the Farmers Branch area, then connect to I‑35E South near Addison. This detour adds about 4 miles (≈23 mi) and may be faster if the turnpike is clear. Note that TX‑190 uses electronic tolling; a TxDOT‑compatible tag is recommended.
Via US‑75 and I‑635 Loop
For a scenic route through Addison and Richardson, take US‑75 North from Dallas, then hop onto I‑635 East back toward Carrollton. This loop is roughly 25 miles and can be convenient if you need to stop in those suburbs.
Public Transportation Options
Not everyone wants to drive, and Dallas’ public transit network offers a viable alternative. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system provides direct rail service between Carrollton and downtown Dallas.
DART Light Rail: Green Line
The Green Line runs from the Carrollton Station (located near I‑35E and Frankford Road) to St. Paul Station in downtown Dallas. According to DART’s schedule, the average travel time is about 30 minutes, and the distance is approximately 14 miles (source: DART.org). Trains operate every 15–20 minutes during peak hours.
