• Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.

Our Daily Schedule (Dallas to Galveston)

What is your daily schedule?

We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Galveston. Your professional driver runs this route non-stop, door to door, in a clean, newer vehicle. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged. Planning a different trip? See our Waco to Galveston shuttle page for flat-rate service details and online booking. Landing at Hobby or IAH in Houston instead? See our Houston shuttle page for airport service across the Houston metro.

What is my pickup time at the airport?

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. Flying into DFW Airport instead? See our DFW to Galveston shuttle page for direct service.

What happens if my flight is delayed? Continuing on to Baytown from Galveston? See our Galveston to Baytown shuttle page for door-to-door shuttle service and online booking.

Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, 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 arrives early?

Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at the airport, 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 terminal at your prearranged pickup spot 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 Galveston 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 the Dallas to Galveston trip take?

The Dallas to Galveston run covers roughly 290 miles via I-45 South and takes around 4 and a half to 5 hours in normal traffic. A private ride runs non-stop — no waiting on other passengers, no fixed bus departure times to chase.

What time should I be picked up?

For airport drop-offs, aim to arrive about 2 hours before a domestic flight — that covers security and getting to your gate. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before departure, so schedule your pickup with a comfortable buffer. Your driver monitors traffic, and a little extra time keeps the trip stress-free by adjusting for the unexpected.

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 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.

Pickup Locations

Your driver tracks your flight and texts you when they arrive. At DFW and Dallas Love Field, your driver will confirm your exact meeting spot by call or text when you land, and we share detailed pickup instructions for every terminal below. Keep your phone on and off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can reach you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.

If you need special assistance, tell us when you book and your driver will meet you at the door with the vehicle pulled up close.

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.

Dallas to Galveston: Bus vs. Private Door-to-Door Shuttle

How far is Galveston from Dallas?

The drive from Dallas to Galveston covers roughly 290 miles down Interstate 45 — about four and a half hours in normal traffic. Add the approach to the cruise terminals on Galveston's Harborside Drive and most travelers should plan on a four-to-five hour door-to-door day.

Is there a bus from Dallas to Galveston?

Scheduled bus service between Dallas and Galveston is limited and usually routes through Houston with a transfer, so the trip can stretch well past five hours plus rides to and from bus stations. A private shuttle runs the I-45 corridor nonstop, on your schedule, with pickup at your home, hotel, DFW or Love Field and drop-off right at the Port of Galveston cruise terminal, your hotel on the seawall, or any Galveston address.

Flying in first?

If your cruise departs from Galveston and you land at DFW, our DFW to Galveston shuttle covers the whole run in one booking. Traveling from farther north or west? See the Waco to Galveston shuttle and our Houston shuttle service. Questions about timing around a sailing? Call us 24/7 at (817) 403-6196 — we monitor cruise departure dates and flight arrivals when we build your pickup time.
