Round Trips Save You 10% Frisco to Dallas shuttle

The private door‑to‑door shuttle heads north out of downtown Dallas, merging onto the Dallas North Tollway before cutting west on I‑35E toward the Plano‑Frisco corridor. Along the way the driver passes the bustling Uptown district, the iconic Arts District skyline, and the sprawling NorthPark Center, then continues onto Texas State Highway 121, skimming the historic Plano Railway Museum before arriving at Frisco Square and The Star, home of the Dallas Cowboys headquarters.

Most riders are Dallas‑area professionals and DFW‑airport travelers who need a reliable link to Frisco’s corporate campuses, the medical center on Greenville Avenue, or evening concerts at the Frisco Live venue. The service is also popular with families heading to games at the Dallas Cowboys Practice Facility. A useful local tip: confirm your Dallas pickup spot at least 15 minutes before departure, especially if you’re meeting at a busy office plaza or near Love Field, to avoid traffic bottlenecks. Coming from Denton instead? See our Denton to Frisco shuttle page for schedules, flat rates, and online booking.

Our Daily Schedule (Dallas to Frisco)

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fort Worth and Dallas, or right on time at Dallas Fort Worth. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged. Continuing on to Richardson? See our Frisco to Richardson shuttle page for flat-rate service details and online booking.

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? Flying in instead? See our Dallas Airport to Frisco shuttle page for door-to-door service.

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. If it's hot outside, please wait inside the DFW terminal closest to prearranged until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away.

How soon should I make a reservation?

Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Dallas to Frisco 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. 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.

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 Frisco: Distance, Drive Time, and Best Routes

The drive from Dallas to Frisco covers roughly 27 miles (about 44 kilometers) by car when you follow the Dallas North Tollway (DNT), with a straight-line distance of about 25.89 miles heading north. In light traffic, the trip takes about 30 minutes driving non-stop. Broader route-planning tools that model the trip at a planning speed of roughly 60 km/h (37 mph) estimate a reference drive time of about 1 hour 24 minutes for a 57 km (35 mile) routing, which is a useful reminder that your actual time depends heavily on the route you pick and when you leave.

Frisco sits at the northern edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex in Collin and Denton counties, and Dallas anchors the south. Because the two cities are connected by some of the busiest corridors in North Texas, the "best" route changes by the hour. Below, we break down every realistic way to make the trip, the landmarks you'll pass, and how to plan around DFW traffic.

Quick Trip Snapshot: Dallas to Frisco

Road distance (DNT route): ~27 miles / 44 km (per drivingdirections.com)
Straight-line distance: ~25.89 miles, due north
Typical non-stop drive time: ~30 minutes in favorable conditions
Reference planning estimate: ~57 km (35 mi), 1 hr 24 min at a modeled 60 km/h planning speed (per distance-cities.com)
Elevation: Frisco sits about 63 meters (207 feet) higher than Dallas
Estimated fuel used: roughly 4.7 liters (1.2 gallons) for the modeled route; EVs use an estimated 10.5 kWh

Best Routes from Dallas to Frisco Compared

There are three practical ways to drive from Dallas to Frisco, and each has trade-offs between speed, tolls, and scenery. The toll roads (DNT and the Sam Rayburn Tollway) are the fastest in most conditions; the free frontage-road and surface-street options trade time for zero tolls.

Route	Main Roads	Approx. Distance	Typical Time	Best For
Dallas North Tollway (DNT)	DNT north from Uptown/Downtown	~27 miles / 44 km	~30 min non-stop	Fastest, most direct; serves Uptown and North Dallas
Preston Road (SH 289)	SH 289 north through Addison, Carrollton, Plano	Similar to DNT	30–50 min depending on traffic	Toll-free driving, access to restaurants and shops along the way
US-75 + Sam Rayburn Tollway	US-75 (Central Expwy) north to SRT (SH 121) west	Slightly longer	~35–50 min	Travelers starting in East Dallas, Lake Highlands, or Richardson
I-635 connector	LBJ Freeway to DNT or SH 289	Varies by starting point	Varies	Trips beginning in West or Northeast Dallas

Note that the drivingdirections.com estimate of 27 miles specifically follows the DNT route, so shorter or longer trips are possible depending on your starting neighborhood and chosen corridor. The distance-cities.com model, which doesn't identify specific roads, puts the reference road distance at about 57 km (35 miles) — a reminder that "Dallas to Frisco" means different distances depending on where in Dallas you begin.

Route 1: The Dallas North Tollway (DNT) — The Direct Shot

The DNT is the route most Dallasites default to, and for good reason. It runs almost perfectly due north from Downtown Dallas through Uptown, North Dallas, Addison, and Plano before arriving in Frisco — matching the straight-line bearing of about 25.89 miles north between the two cities.

What you'll pass on the DNT

Downtown and Uptown Dallas: The tollway begins near the heart of the city, close to Klyde Warren Park and the Dallas Arts District, before burrowing through the TURTLE tunnel under Uptown.
North Dallas: As you cross LBJ Freeway (I-635), you're in the thick of North Dallas' retail and office corridors.
Addison: The DNT clips the east side of Addison, home to the Addison Airport corridor and the town's famous restaurant row along Belt Line Road.
Plano: The tollway passes west Plano, with easy access to Legacy West's dining and shopping cluster near Legacy Drive.
Frisco: The DNT delivers you straight toward Frisco's premier attractions, including Stonebriar Centre mall, The Star (the Dallas Cowboys' world headquarters), and the Rail District downtown.

Because the entire drive is limited-access tollway, this is the most predictable route — but it's also the one most sensitive to rush-hour congestion, especially around the I-635 interchange and the tollway's northern segments near the Sam Rayburn Tollway swap.

Route 2: Preston Road (SH 289) — The Toll-Free Classic

Preston Road, designated State Highway 289, parallels the DNT just to the west and is one of the oldest north–south corridors in Dallas. It's entirely toll-free and takes you through some of the most developed stretches of the metroplex.

Why choose Preston Road?

No tolls. If you're driving a rental car without a toll tag or simply prefer to avoid toll billing, SH 289 is the classic alternative.
Endless stops. Preston Road is lined with shopping centers, restaurants, and services in Addison, Carrollton, Plano, and Frisco — convenient if you need to break up the trip.
Halfway-point towns. Addison and Carrollton sit almost exactly midway. Per drivingdirections.com, Addison is the closest town to the halfway point at roughly 14 miles from each city, while Carrollton is the closest major city at about 18 miles from Dallas and 15 miles from Frisco.

The trade-off: Preston Road is signal-heavy, with stoplights at nearly every major cross street. During weekday rush hours and weekend shopping peaks, expect the trip to stretch well beyond the 30-minute non-stop baseline.

Route 3: US-75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121)

If you're starting from East Dallas, Lake Highlands, Richardson, or anywhere along Central Expressway, the fastest route may not touch the DNT at all. Take US-75 (Central Expressway) north, then connect to the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) westbound, which arcs across the top of the metroplex into Frisco.

This routing serves Frisco's eastern side, including the Toyota Stadium area and the legacies of Frisco's sports complexes along the SH 121 corridor. It's a toll road for the SH 121 portion, and the western stretch of the Sam Rayburn Tollway near Frisco can back up badly during afternoon and evening peaks as traffic funnels toward the DNT interchange.

Halfway Points and Good Places to Stop

At roughly 27 miles total, you may not need a break — and route-modeling tools agree: no scheduled break is typically recommended for a trip this short. But if you want to split the drive or meet someone in the middle, the data points to two clear options.

Addison — The Closest Town to the Halfway Point

Addison sits about 14 miles from Dallas and 14 miles from Frisco, making it the closest town to the exact midpoint. The drive from Dallas to Addison takes roughly 17 minutes, with the return from Addison to Frisco another 17 minutes (figures per drivingdirections.com). Addison's Belt Line Road strip is a destination in its own right, packed with restaurants and the town's signature event spaces.

Carrollton — The Closest Major City to the Halfway Point

Carrollton, a full incorporated city rather than a town, is the largest municipality near the midpoint: approximately 18 miles from Dallas (about 24 minutes) and 15 miles from Frisco (about 18 minutes). Carrollton's historic downtown square and its A-train connectivity make it a practical rendezvous point for travelers coming from both directions.

Fuel, Energy, and Emissions: What the Trip Costs the Planet (and Your Tank)

Because this is a short urban trip, fuel and energy use are modest — but exact costs depend on your vehicle and the prevailing gas price, which changes constantly. The figures below are published estimates and should be treated as approximations, not quotes.

Gasoline vehicle estimates

Modeled fuel use: about 4.7 liters (1.2 gallons) for the ~57 km modeled route (per distance-cities.com).
Example cost scenario: drivingdirections.com modeled a gas cost of $4.33 for the trip using an average Texas regular-gas price of $3.94 per gallon. Your actual cost will vary with your vehicle's fuel economy and the pump price on the day you drive.
Carbon footprint: an average car releases approximately 21.52 pounds of CO2 over the route, or about 0.79 pounds of CO2 per mile (per drivingdirections.com).

Electric vehicle estimates

Route modelers estimate an EV would consume roughly 10.5 kWh for the trip — a small dent in any modern EV's range. Frisco and the surrounding suburbs have grown quickly enough that public charging along the DNT, Preston Road, and Legacy Drive corridors is widely available, though we recommend verifying charger availability in a real-time app before relying on it.

Important: All fuel, energy, and emissions figures on this page are model-based estimates derived from route distance, not guaranteed figures. Fuel consumption depends on your vehicle, driving style, and traffic conditions.

When to Drive: Timing Your Dallas–Frisco Trip

The 30-minute non-stop estimate assumes favorable conditions. In practice, your drive time can double or triple during peak periods. Here's how locals think about it:

Weekday mornings (7–9 a.m.): Heavy northbound flow on the DNT and US-75 as commuters head to Plano, Frisco, and Legacy-area employers. Budget 45–60+ minutes.
Weekday evenings (4–7 p.m.): The worst window for this corridor. Northbound DNT and the Sam Rayburn Tollway near Frisco are reliably congested.
Midday: Usually the sweet spot — often close to the 30-minute baseline.
Weekends: Traffic pulses around Stonebriar Centre and The Star during shopping hours and event times. Check the Cowboys' and FC Dallas' schedules before heading up on game days.

One more planning note: the reference drive time of 1 hour 24 minutes published on distance-cities.com is a continuous-driving estimate based on modeled route length at a 60 km/h planning speed, and the site notes it does not account for current traffic or closures. Real-time navigation apps remain your best source for departure-day accuracy.

Arriving in Frisco: What's Worth the Drive

Frisco has transformed from a quiet railroad town into one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and it now anchors the northern metroplex with a dense cluster of attractions:

The Star in Frisco: The Dallas Cowboys' world headquarters and practice facility, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and the Ford Center indoor facility.
Stonebriar Centre: One of the largest shopping malls in North Texas, sitting right off the DNT near SH 121.
Frisco Rail District: The historic downtown around the old rail line, home to the Frisco Heritage Museum and a growing set of local restaurants and shops.
National Videogame Museum: A one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to gaming history, located in the Rail District area.
Toyota Stadium: Home of FC Dallas, near the SH 121 corridor on Frisco's east side.
Riders Field: Home ballpark of the Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate in the heart of Frisco's sports district.

Geographically, Frisco sits about 63 meters (207 feet) higher in elevation than Dallas — a subtle climb you'll barely notice on the highway but one that explains why the northern suburbs sit on slightly higher ground along the Austin Chalk ridge.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dallas to Frisco

How far is Frisco from Dallas?

By road following the Dallas North Tollway, the trip is about 27 miles (44 kilometers). The straight-line distance between the two cities is about 25.89 miles in a northward direction, so the DNT route tracks very close to the direct bearing.

How long does it take to drive from Dallas to Frisco?

About 30 minutes driving non-stop under favorable conditions. During weekday rush hours — especially the evening peak — expect 45 minutes to an hour or more. The broader reference estimate of 1 hour 24 minutes published by distance-cities.com reflects a modeled 57 km route at a conservative 60 km/h planning speed, not real-time traffic.

Is there a toll-free route from Dallas to Frisco?

Yes. Preston Road (SH 289) runs north from Dallas to Frisco with no tolls, passing through Addison, Carrollton, and Plano. The trade-off is more stoplights and slower travel during peak periods compared with the Dallas North Tollway.

What is the halfway point between Dallas and Frisco?

Addison is the closest town to the halfway point, sitting about 14 miles from each city. Carrollton is the closest major city, at roughly 18 miles from Dallas and 15 miles from Frisco. Both make convenient meeting spots for travelers coming from either direction.

How much gas does the trip use?

Route modeling estimates about 4.7 liters (1.2 gallons) of fuel for the trip. One published scenario estimated a gas cost of $4.33 based on an average Texas regular-gas price of $3.94 per gallon — but that's an illustration, not a current quote. Check today's prices and your own vehicle's fuel economy for a real number.

Which route is fastest — the DNT or US-75/Sam Rayburn Tollway?

It depends on where in Dallas you start. From Downtown, Uptown, or North Dallas, the DNT is almost always quickest. From East Dallas, Richardson, or anywhere along Central Expressway, taking US-75 north to the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) west often beats looping over to the DNT. Check live traffic before you leave, since both corridors back up during peak periods.

Is Dallas or Frisco higher in elevation?

Frisco is higher, by about 63 meters (207 feet) relative to Dallas, according to city-pair elevation comparisons. The gradual uphill grade northward is imperceptible while driving the tollway.

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.

DFW - Prearranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.

Terminal A - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door A15 and A29.
Terminal B - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door B8 and B30.
Terminal C - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door C4, C10, C24 and C30.
Terminal D - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door D22.
Terminal E - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door E35.

Love Field - Ground Transportation is on the lower level down the ramp from the baggage claim. Head to the right, and we pick you up where it says Oversized Vehicles.
