Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged.
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?
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.

How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Dallas to Granbury 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.

How Far Is Dallas to Granbury? Distance, Drive Time, and Route Overview
Dallas and Granbury sit about 73 miles apart by car — roughly 117 kilometers — even though the two cities are only about 62 miles in a straight line. The extra distance comes from the way the route curves southwest through the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Following the I-20 corridor, a non-stop drive from Dallas to Granbury takes about 1 hour and 14 minutes in normal traffic, which is why so many Dallas residents treat Granbury as an easy weekend escape.
The Drive in Numbers
| Measure | Dallas to Granbury |
|---|---|
| Driving distance | 73 miles (117.08 km) via I-20 |
| Straight-line distance | 62.47 miles, southwest of Dallas |
| Typical drive time (non-stop) | About 1 hour 14 minutes |
| Estimated fuel cost (one way) | Around $11.51 at average Texas gas prices (estimate) |
| Estimated CO2 per trip | About 57.24 pounds per average car (per travelmath.com) |
Those fuel and emissions figures are estimates calculated using the average Texas gas price of $3.94 per gallon of regular, so your actual cost at the pump will depend on your vehicle, current prices, and how you drive. The carbon footprint works out to roughly 0.79 pounds of CO2 per mile — a useful benchmark if you're comparing driving against a shared shuttle ride.
Best Driving Routes from Dallas to Granbury
There are two practical ways to make the drive, and the one you pick usually comes down to where in Dallas you're starting from.
Route 1: I-30 West to Chisholm Trail Parkway (The Scenic Favorite)
From downtown Dallas, take I-30 West toward Fort Worth, then pick up the Chisholm Trail Parkway (TX-121/Toll) southwest through the Aledo area toward Cleburne. From Cleburne, US-67 and US-377 carry you into Granbury. This route edges past some of North Texas's prettiest horse country, and traffic is generally lighter than the interstate once you clear Fort Worth.
Route 2: I-20 West to US-377 (The Straightforward Pick)
The most common routing follows I-20 West from Dallas through Arlington and Fort Worth, then transitions onto US-377 South toward Benbrook and Weatherford country before dropping down into Granbury. The I-20 approach is the baseline for most distance calculations, including the 73-mile figure above. Watch for slowdowns near the Arlington interchange and the I-20/I-30 split — rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth can add 15 to 45 minutes to the trip, with about 30 minutes being typical.
Which Route Should You Take?
| Route | Main Roads | Best For | Watch Out For |
|---|---|---|---|
| I-20 to US-377 | I-20 W, US-377 S | Leaving from south Dallas or Arlington; consistent timing | Metroplex rush hour, construction zones near Fort Worth |
| I-30 to Chisholm Trail Pkwy | I-30 W, Chisholm Trail Pkwy, US-377 S | Scenery, lighter traffic past Fort Worth | Toll charges on the parkway |
The Halfway Point Between Dallas and Granbury
If you need a meeting spot or a rest stop, the halfway point between Dallas and Granbury falls about 36.38 miles from each city — approximately 37 minutes of driving from either end. The closest major city to that midpoint is Fort Worth, which sits about 32.43 miles from Dallas and 37.67 miles from Granbury. Driving it, you're looking at roughly 31 minutes from Dallas to Fort Worth and about 46 minutes from Granbury back to Fort Worth.
That makes Fort Worth an ideal rendezvous city: the Cultural District, West 7th, and the Stockyards all make convenient meetup spots if you're splitting a trip with someone coming from Granbury. The Stockyards National Historic District is especially popular with out-of-towners passing through the midpoint.
Gas Cost, Fuel Consumption, and Emissions for the Trip
Using average Texas fuel prices, the estimated cost of gas to drive from Dallas to Granbury is about $11.51 one way for a typical passenger car. Multiply by two for a round trip, then budget a little extra for driving around town once you arrive — Granbury's town square, Lake Granbury parks, and the beach area at City Beach Park all add short local miles.
On the environmental side, an average car releases about 57.24 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere over the course of the trip, or 0.79 pounds per mile. Carpooling or taking a shared shuttle spreads that footprint across multiple passengers, which is worth considering if you make this run frequently.

- No bags? You can schedule pickup 15 minutes after a domestic landing, or 30 minutes for international flights with no checked luggage.
- Delays handled automatically: If your flight into DFW is delayed, pickup times adjust automatically to 30 minutes after landing for domestic flights, or 45 minutes for international.

Shuttle vs. Driving Yourself
| Factor | Drive Yourself | Texas Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| Door-to-door | Yes, but you park at the airport | Yes — home, hotel, or terminal curb |
| Availability | Whenever you want | 24/7, on your schedule |
| Airport timing stress | You manage parking and security buffers | Flight tracking adjusts pickup automatically |
| Cost drivers | Fuel (~$11.51 estimate each way), parking, wear | Flat quoted fare; round trips save 10% |
| Stops along the way | Only yours — no waiting on other passengers | Private, direct rides; no 3–5 pickup stops like shared buses |
One thing worth knowing: shared-ride buses and some other shuttle companies stop and wait 3–5 times to pick up other passengers, and if the bus is running late you might wait 30 minutes to an hour and a half before you even leave. Texas Shuttle's model is built around private, direct rides that leave when you do. For other destinations across the state, Texas Shuttle also runs a Dallas to Abilene shuttle, Dallas to Aledo shuttle, Dallas to Arlington shuttle, and Dallas to Amarillo shuttle, among many other Texas routes.
What to Do in Granbury Once You Arrive
Granbury rewards the trip. The restored historic town square — reportedly the first in Texas to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places — surrounds the 1888 Hood County Courthouse and is packed with boutiques, wine rooms, and restaurants. Lake Granbury, formed on the Brazos River, runs right up to the edge of downtown, and City Beach Park gives families a sandy spot to swim in the summer. The Granbury Live venue and the historic Granbury Opera House anchor the square's entertainment calendar, and golfers have several courses to choose from in the area.
Recommended Areas to Stay in Granbury, TX
Lodging clusters into three zones, each with a different feel:
- The Town Square: Walkable historic hotels and inns put you steps from restaurants and shops — best for a car-free weekend.
- Lakefront along Highway 377 and the lake's east side: Resorts and vacation rentals with water views and marina access, ideal for boating and fishing trips.
- Along US-377 and the Highway 144 corridor: Standard hotels with easy highway access, convenient if you're continuing on to Glen Rose and Dinosaur Valley State Park the next day.
Compare current hotel prices and availability for your dates before booking — Granbury fills up quickly during lake-season weekends and holiday events on the square.
Rental Cars in Dallas: Lowest-Price Tips
If you'd rather rent than drive your own car, a few habits consistently land travelers the lowest prices:
- Book early and compare: Compare rates across the major rental counters at DFW and Love Field before you commit — prices for the same car class can vary significantly between companies.
- Check weekly rates: Sometimes a weekly rate costs less than five daily rates, even on shorter trips.
- Watch airport fees: Airport pickup locations add concession and facility fees; an off-airport Dallas location can be cheaper if you're starting from a hotel.
- Verify mileage and fuel policy: The Dallas to Granbury run is only about 73 miles each way, so most standard rentals cover it easily — just return with the agreed fuel level.
Weather in Dallas and Granbury: When to Go
North Texas weather shapes this trip more than the mileage does. Summers in both Dallas and Granbury regularly push into the 90s and beyond — plan lake days for mornings, and know that afternoon thunderstorms can roll in fast from May through August. Spring and fall are the sweet spots: mild temperatures on the square, good fishing on Lake Granbury, and comfortable evenings. Winter is generally mild, though the occasional ice storm can make I-20 and US-377 slick, so check the forecast the morning you travel. Check current weather conditions for both cities before you leave — a storm over Fort Worth can add real time to the midpoint stretch of the drive.
