How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Dallas to Arlington Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible so a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays with picking you up.

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.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. 3 hours and 30 minutes before your flight is normally enough time if you're going to DFW. Dallas Fort Worth recommends you be there 2 hours early to get through security and find your gate. Boarding in Dallas usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. 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. You start running the risk that they will give your seat away in Dallas about 40 mins before your flight takes off. Sometimes a little extra time is good and makes your trip to Fort Worth stress free by adjusting for the unexpected.

Dallas to Arlington Texas: Travel Guide
Traveling between Dallas and Arlington is a common trip for commuters, sports fans, and visitors exploring the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex. The two cities lie just under 20 miles apart, making the journey short enough for a day trip yet long enough to consider different modes of transport. This guide outlines the distance, travel times, cost estimates, and local attractions you can enjoy once you arrive in Arlington. All figures are based on publicly available sources and are presented as estimates where applicable.
Distance and Travel Time
The straight‑line distance between downtown Dallas and Arlington’s city center is approximately 19 miles (about 30.5 kilometers). Driving non‑stop along the most direct route takes roughly 21 minutes under normal traffic conditions, according to routing data from drivingdirections.com. If you choose to travel by bus, the trip typically lasts around 25 minutes, including any transfers, as reported by rome2rio.com. These times can vary with peak‑hour congestion, weather, or special events in the area, especially when major attractions such as AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field host large crowds.
Driving Directions
For those who prefer to drive, the most efficient route follows Interstate 30 east from Dallas toward Arlington. After merging onto I‑30, you will pass through the western suburbs of Grand Prairie before crossing the Trinity River and entering Arlington. Key landmarks along the way include the Dallas‑Fort Worth Turnpike (I‑30) interchange with TX‑360, which provides a direct north‑south corridor through Arlington’s Entertainment District. If you are coming from Deep Ellum or downtown Dallas, you can access I‑30 via I‑35E or the Woodall Rodgers Freeway (Spur 366) before heading east. Parking is readily available at many public garages and surface lots near the stadiums and the Arlington Convention Center, with rates that vary by venue and event schedule.
Bus and Shuttle Options
Traveling without a car is straightforward thanks to several bus services that connect Dallas and Arlington. The most economical option is a standard city bus, which averages an estimated cost of $2–$5 for a one‑way trip and takes about 25 minutes, including any required transfers. According to rome2rio.com, the bus departs from the Downtown Dallas/Deep Ellum area and arrives at Arlington Avenue, with service typically running once daily. Private shuttle operators also provide on‑demand service; one example notes a journey time of roughly 29 minutes and an estimated fare in the higher range, reflecting the added convenience of door‑to‑door pickup. Real‑time schedules and ticket purchases can be checked through the operators’ websites or travel aggregators.

Things to Do in Arlington
Arlington offers a variety of attractions that cater to sports enthusiasts, families, and culture lovers. The city’s Entertainment District is home to two major stadiums: AT&T Stadium, where the Dallas Cowboys play their home games, and Globe Life Field, the venue for the Texas Rangers baseball club. Both facilities offer guided tours that provide behind‑the‑scenes access to locker rooms, playing fields, and premium seating areas, though tour availability and pricing should be confirmed directly with each venue.
Adjacent to the stadiums, Six Flags Over Texas occupies 212 acres and features a mix of roller coasters, family rides, and live entertainment. The park opened on August 5, 1961, after an initial investment of US$10 million by real‑estate developer Angus G. (source: rome2rio.com). Notable coasters include the Texas Giant, which debuted in 1990 as the world’s tallest wooden coaster, and several steel coasters that use a linear induction motor (LIM) launch system to accelerate riders from 0 mph to high speeds in just a few seconds. The park’s operating procedures have evolved over time; for example, the “Over Texas” coaster returned to forward operation in 2022, and in July 2023 it began running one train backward and one forward to offer varied rider experiences.
For a more relaxed outing, River Legacy Park provides over 1,300 acres of trails along the Trinity River, ideal for hiking, biking, and birdwatching. The park’s Living Science Center offers interactive exhibits about local ecosystems and is a popular spot for school groups and families. Art enthusiasts can visit the Arlington Museum of Art in downtown Arlington, which hosts rotating exhibitions of contemporary and regional works. The University of Texas at Arlington also contributes to the cultural scene with its planetarium, gallery spaces, and public lectures.
Where to Stay in Arlington
Visitors to Arlington will find a range of accommodation options that suit different budgets and preferences. Many hotels cluster near the Entertainment District, offering convenient walking access to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags Over Texas. Examples include well‑known chains that provide amenities such as free Wi‑Fi, fitness centers, and complimentary breakfast. For those seeking a quieter setting, properties farther north toward the University of Texas at Arlington or along Division Street offer easy access to shopping centers and dining establishments while still being a short drive from the major attractions. As always, it is advisable to check current rates and availability directly with the hotel or through trusted booking platforms, especially during event weekends when demand can spike.
