Daily Schedule (Dallas to Rowlett)

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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett: Driving Guide, Distance, and Tips

Traveling between Dallas and Rowlett is a common commute for residents, visitors, and anyone heading to the northeastern suburbs of the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex. The journey is short enough to be completed in under an hour under normal conditions, yet long enough to merit a quick look at traffic patterns, fuel usage, and convenient stops. This guide compiles publicly available distance and timing data, adds local context, and answers the most frequently asked questions about the Dallas‑to‑Rowlett drive.

Distance and Travel Time

According to measurements from MapQuest and distance‑cities.com, the center‑to‑center distance between Dallas, TX and Rowlett, TX is 24 miles (approximately 38 kilometers). Under free‑flowing conditions the drive takes about 51 minutes. When traffic is light, the same trip can be completed in roughly 43 minutes, while heavy congestion — typical during weekday rush hours or adverse weather — can push travel time to between 77 and 87 minutes (1 hour 17 minutes to 1 hour 27 minutes). These figures are averages; actual travel time will vary based on the exact departure point, time of day, and road incidents.

Route Overview: I‑35 South

The primary route linking the two cities follows Interstate 35 (I‑35) southbound from Dallas toward Rowlett. I‑35 is a major north‑south artery that runs through the heart of Texas, connecting cities from Laredo in the south to Duluth, Minnesota in the north. On this segment, the highway passes through the southeastern suburbs of Dallas, skirts the eastern edge of Lake Ray Hubbard, and continues into Rowlett where it meets local streets such as Main Street and Liberty Grove Road. Drivers should watch for signage indicating exits for Garland (Exit 465) and the President George Bush Turnpike (TX‑190) if they prefer an alternate eastern bypass.

Traffic Patterns and Best Times to Drive

Traffic on I‑35 between Dallas and Rowlett follows the typical metropolitan pattern:

Light traffic (🟢) – early mornings before 7 AM, late evenings after 7 PM, and mid‑day windows (approximately 10 AM – 2 PM) yield the shortest travel times, often around 43 minutes.
Typical traffic (🔵) – mid‑morning to mid‑afternoon outside rush hour averages about 51 minutes.
Heavy traffic (🔴) – weekday rush hours (7 – 9 AM and 4 – 7 PM) and holiday weekends can add 20‑35 minutes, pushing the drive toward 1 hour 15 minutes.

To minimize delay, aim for a departure outside the peak windows. If your schedule is flexible, a weekday mid‑day trip offers the most reliable travel time.

Fuel Consumption and Cost Estimates

Based on an average fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon (mpg) for a typical passenger car, the 24‑mile trip consumes roughly 0.8 gallons** of gasoline. Using the nationwide average regular‑gas price cited in the source data ($3.48 per gallon), the estimated fuel cost is about $2.78. This estimate assumes steady‑state cruising at typical speeds and does not account for extra emissions from idling in traffic jams. Choosing to travel during lighter traffic periods not only saves time but also reduces the total emissions generated on the trip.

Halfway Point Between Dallas and Rowlett

Geographically, the midpoint of the route lies about 9.96 miles from each city. According to the referenced sources, reaching this point from either end takes approximately 14 minutes under normal driving conditions. The halfway area is situated near the border of Dallas and Garland, close to the intersection of I‑35 and the Lake Ray Hubbard Parkway. Drivers looking for a quick break can find convenience stores, gas stations, and fast‑food options along the service roads adjacent to I‑35 in this zone.

Recommended Stops and Landmarks Along the Way

While the drive is short, there are a few notable points of interest that travelers might enjoy:

Lake Ray Hubbard – Just east of I‑35, this large reservoir offers scenic views and recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and lakeside trails.
