Center to Dallas Airport Shuttle
Welcome to Texas Shuttle, your reliable door-to-door transportation service connecting Center, TX (Shelby County) with Dallas Love Field (DAL) and Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW). Our private shuttles handle the full ~200‑mile cross-state run so you don't have to drive, park, or pay airport parking fees for a multi-day trip.
Your trip begins at your address in Center — typically along TX‑7, US‑96, or one of the residential streets just off the FM‑2026 / Shelbyville Highway corridor. From there our driver takes US‑96 north to US‑59 (now I‑369) or US‑259, then west on I‑20 toward Dallas. For DFW we exit north on I‑635 (LBJ Freeway) to International Parkway; for Love Field we continue west on I‑30 to Mockingbird Lane. The whole route stays on Interstate-grade highway for ~85% of the drive, so it is far less stressful than navigating the rural East-Texas alternates.
Door-to-door travel time is normally about 3 hours 15 minutes in clear traffic, and 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours during DFW rush windows (7–9am and 4–6pm). Road distance from downtown Center to DFW is ~205 miles; to Love Field it is ~210 miles. Plan to leave Center about 5 hours before your scheduled departure for domestic flights and 6 hours for international — that gives you time for traffic, check-in, and TSA.
For travelers heading to Love Field (DAL), we drop you at the single main terminal on Herb Kelleher Way. For DFW International, we deliver to your specific terminal — A, B, C, D, or E — based on your airline. Tell us your flight number at booking and we'll route to the correct curb so you walk straight to check-in.
What is the typical door-to-door travel time from Center to Dallas?
Plan on roughly 3 hours 15 minutes in normal traffic for the ~205-mile drive, and 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours during Dallas rush hours. We monitor real-time traffic and adjust your pickup time so you still arrive at the terminal with a healthy buffer.
When will my driver arrive for pickup?
Your driver typically arrives 5–10 minutes before your scheduled pickup time so you can load luggage without rushing. For East-Texas pickups we send the driver out the night before for early-morning trips to guarantee on-time arrival.
How many bags can I bring with me on the shuttle?
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger is included at no extra cost. Extra suitcases, golf bags, ski bags, car seats, or strollers are welcome — just note them at booking so we send the right vehicle (sedan for 1–3, SUV/shuttle for 4+).
What if my flight is delayed?
For Center-to-airport trips this normally doesn't affect you, since the delay shows up at the airport. For airport-to-Center pickups, we track your flight automatically and update the pickup time to 30 minutes after wheels-down (45 minutes for international). Text us at (817) 403-6196 if your flight number changes.
