Airport Shuttle from Center, TX
Center is the seat of Shelby County in deep East Texas, about 205 miles east of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and only a short drive from the Louisiana state line. Because there is no commercial passenger airport in or near Center, most travelers head west to DFW International (DFW) or Dallas Love Field (DAL) for their flights. Texas Shuttle runs door-to-door private rides between any address in Center and both Dallas-area airports, 24 hours a day.
Route & drive times
The typical routing follows US-84 / TX-7 west toward Nacogdoches and Lufkin, then connects to US-259 and I-20 or US-175 into the Dallas area. Lufkin shuttle Nacogdoches shuttle Plan on roughly 3.5 to 4 hours of driving to DFW or Love Field, depending on your exact pickup address and traffic through the metroplex. For a morning flight out of DFW, we generally recommend a pickup that leaves at least 4.5–5 hours before departure so there is a comfortable buffer for the long-haul drive plus airport check-in.
Pricing context for a long-haul East Texas route
Center is one of our longer single-leg corridors, so fares are higher than a typical in-metro hop and are calculated by distance rather than a flat city rate. Private door-to-door sedan rides from Center to the DFW/Dallas airports start around $282 one-way; larger vehicles (SUV or Sprinter for groups and extra luggage) and round trips are priced accordingly. The fastest way to see your exact, all-in price is to enter your full pickup address and the airport below and click Check Rates — the quote is the total for the vehicle, not per person.
Travel tips for Center riders
- Book a round trip. On a 200-mile corridor, reserving both directions at once is the simplest way to lock in your return pickup and save versus two one-way bookings.
- Give a full street address. Center and the surrounding Shelby County communities (Timpson, Tenaha, Joaquin, Shelbyville) have mileage-sensitive pricing, so a complete address gets you an accurate quote instead of a city estimate.
- Allow extra buffer for the distance. Unlike a short suburban ride, this is a multi-hour drive — padding your pickup time protects you against weather or metroplex congestion.
- One vehicle, one party. Your ride is private and non-stop; we don’t pack you in with strangers or route you through a bus terminal.

What are the benefits of using our service?
Door to door shuttle service is included on all our trips. Usually trips in Texas are non-stop in a nicer vehicle. Texas Shuttle can pick you up Dallas, or your home anytime 24/7. We normally take you straight there, which is very different from other companies that leave you at a bus stop in Texas, and stop and wait repeatedly. We also don't pack you in with 8-54 people you don't know.
Does it cost anything to change my reservation?
You can change the date and time of your reservation at no cost. If you don't know the exact address, you can enter the city for now and reserve it, then give us the full address later. If you don't know your flight number landing in Dallas, you can estimate the time and update the flight number and time later.

Pickup Locations
Your Texas Shuttle picks you up where it says Prearranged at DFW or Ground Transportation at Love Field. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged at DFW. The signs are easy to see, and they are always at the curb.
Security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.
