Our Daily Schedule (Dallas to Lubbock)

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.

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. 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 Lubbock 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 Lubbock Drive: Complete Road Trip Guide

If you’re planning a road‑trip from Dallas, TX to Lubbock, TX, the drive is roughly 605 km (376 mi) and typically takes about 7 hours 1 minute of continuous driving under normal traffic conditions. The route follows a mix of interstates and U.S. highways, offering a straightforward path through North Texas with opportunities for scenic detours and rest stops. Below you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the route, travel times, fuel costs, EV charging options, and practical tips to make the journey smooth and enjoyable.

Route Overview & Key Highways

The most common path from Dallas to Lubbock uses a combination of I‑35E, US‑287, and I‑27. Here’s a step‑by‑step look at the major legs:

Dallas → Fort Worth: Head north on I‑35E (also known as the R.L. Thornton Freeway) for about 30 mi. This stretch passes through the heart of Dallas and offers quick access to downtown attractions like Dealey Plaza and Reunion Tower.
Fort Worth → Gainesville: Continue north on I‑35E, which merges with US‑287 near the town of Gainesville. US‑287 runs north‑westward, crossing the Red River into Oklahoma for a brief stretch before re‑entering Texas.
Gainesville → Wichita Falls: Stay on US‑287, which passes through the small towns of Bowie and Nocona. The highway becomes a divided four‑lane road, ideal for steady cruising.
Wichita Falls → Lubbock: At Wichita Falls, transition to I‑27 (the “Southwest Freeway”) heading north. I‑27 runs concurrently with US‑84/Route 62 for the final stretch into Lubbock. The highway passes near the historic Lubbock Lake National Historic Landmark and offers views of the Llano Estacado plateau.

The route is largely toll‑free, with only a few short toll sections near the Dallas‑Fort Worth metro area that may add a modest fee (typically $0–$20). Source: MapQuest route modeling

Distance, Travel Time & Traffic Patterns

The modeled road distance is 605 km (376 mi), and the reference drive time is 7 hr 11 min when assuming a planning speed of about 56 mph (90 km/h). Actual travel times can vary based on traffic, weather, and rest breaks:

Light traffic: 5 hr 58 min (early mornings on weekdays)
Typical traffic: 7 hr 1 min (mid‑day, non‑peak hours)
Heavy traffic: 10 hr 10 min (weekday rush hours 7‑9 AM, 4‑7 PM, or holiday weekends)

For the fastest trip, aim to depart before 7 AM on a weekday or travel during late evening (after 7 PM). This avoids the bulk of commuter traffic in the Dallas‑Fort Worth corridor. Source: HowLongDrive traffic estimates

Fuel & Cost Estimates

Using the EPA average of 30 mpg (U.S.) for a typical passenger vehicle, the 376‑mile journey consumes roughly 12.5 gallons of gasoline. Adding potential tolls ($0–$20) brings the total out‑of‑pocket cost to a range of $60–$95.

Fuel consumption: ~12 gal (≈ 49.6 L) for gasoline vehicles.
EV usage: Approximately 112 kWh for a typical electric vehicle, which translates to about 2 fast‑charging stops unless you drive a model with a larger battery.

These figures are estimates based on current modeling; actual prices fluctuate with market conditions. Source: DrivingDirections.com fuel modeling

EV Charging Stops on the Drive

If you’re driving an electric vehicle, plan for at least two charging stops to ensure you arrive comfortably. The route passes through several towns with public fast‑charging stations:

Fort Worth area: Electrify America hub near the Fort Worth Stockyards (convenient for a short break).
Wichita Falls: Tesla Supercharger and ChargePoint stations located near the downtown district, perfect for a 20‑minute “coffee‑break” charge.
Mid‑route rest areas: Love’s Travel Stop in Decatur (I‑35) and TA Travel Center in Wichita Falls (US‑287) offer both Level 2 and DC fast charging.

Most EVs will require 20‑30 minutes at a 150 kW DC fast charger to add roughly 150‑200 mi of range. Source: Electrify America network data

Scenic Stops & Points of Interest Along the Way

While the drive is largely straight‑forward, there are several notable landmarks you can squeeze in for a quick stretch or a photo op:

Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District (≈ 30 mi from Dallas): Experience authentic Texas cowboy culture, longhorn cattle drives, and historic saloons.
Wichita Falls – River Bend Nature Center (≈ 140 mi from Dallas): A tranquil spot for a short walk along the Wichita River.
Palo Duro Canyon State Park (≈ 25 mi east of Lubbock): Known as the “Grand Canyon of Texas,” this dramatic canyon offers hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and striking red rock formations.
Lubbock – Texas Tech University (city center): Stroll around the campus, visit the Museum of Texas Tech, or snap a picture of the iconic “Double T” logo.
Buddy Holly Center: Celebrate the legacy of the rock‑and‑roll legend who grew up in Lubbock.

These stops add only a modest detour (usually < 30 minutes off the main route) and can break up the drive nicely.

Recommended Rest Stops & Break Locations

Long‑distance driving experts suggest a short break every 2 hours to stay alert. The modeled route aligns with three convenient stops:

Early break – Fort Worth (≈ 30 mi): Use the Fort Worth Stockyards parking lot or a nearby gas station (e.g., Chevron on I‑35E) for a quick restroom break, coffee, or a snack.
Mid‑route break – Wichita Falls (≈ 140 mi): Pull into the Wichita Falls Travel Center on US‑287 for fuel, a restroom, and a bite to eat at the on‑site diner.
Later break – Lubbock outskirts (≈ 360 mi): Stop at the Lubbock South Rest Area on I‑27/US‑84 just before entering the city. Stretch your legs, refill water, and check your route into town.

All three stops provide ample parking for RVs and trucks, and many have picnic areas perfect for a quick meal.

Driving Tips for a Safe & Efficient Trip

Leave early: Departing before 7 AM helps you avoid heavy commuter traffic in the Dallas‑Fort Worth corridor.
Maintain a steady speed: Cruise control at 65‑70 mph (≈ 105‑113 km/h) maximizes fuel efficiency while staying within Texas speed limits.
Check tire pressure: Properly inflated tires improve gas mileage by up to 3% and reduce the risk of flats.
Stay hydrated & snack smart: Keep water and healthy snacks (nuts, fruit) within reach to maintain energy.
Monitor weather: Texas Panhandle weather can shift quickly; check forecasts for high winds or rain, especially in winter.
Use real‑time traffic apps: Apps such as Waze or Google Maps provide live updates on incidents, construction, and alternate routes.

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.
