Daily Schedule (Dallas to Tyler)
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 Tyler 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.

Driving from Dallas to Tyler: Routes, Distance, and Travel Time
The 100‑mile (≈160 km) trek between Dallas and Tyler is one of the most common intra‑state journeys in East Texas. Most travelers choose to go by car because the route follows well‑maintained highways, offers scenic views of piney woods, and can be completed in roughly 1½ to 2 hours depending on traffic conditions. The two primary corridors are Interstate 20 (I‑20) and U.S. Highway 69 (US‑69), both of which provide direct access to Tyler’s city center.
Primary Interstate Route: I‑20 East
Leaving Dallas heading east on I‑20, you’ll pass through the suburban communities of Garland and Rowlett before entering the more rural landscape of Hunt and Van Zandt counties. The highway is a four‑lane divided interstate with a speed limit of 70 mph for most segments. Notable exits include:
- Exit 254 – Terrell: A good stop for a quick coffee or restroom break.
- Exit 283 – Wills Point: Home to the historic Wills Point Cemetery and several local diners.
- Exit 315 – Tyler: This exit puts you directly onto the Loop 323 bypass that circles Tyler’s downtown, making it easy to reach hotels, restaurants, and attractions.
Because I‑20 is the quickest option, many shuttle services and ride‑share drivers use this route, especially during weekday morning commutes.
Alternate State Highways and Scenic Options
If you prefer a more leisurely drive, US‑69 runs southward from Dallas, merging with US‑271 near Athens and then continuing north into Tyler. This route adds about 15‑20 minutes to the trip but lets you experience smaller towns such as:
- Kaufman: Known for its historic courthouse square.
- Athens: The seat of Henderson County, with several parks along the path.
Another scenic alternative is Texas State Highway 64 (TX‑64), which branches off from US‑69 at Tyler and heads west toward Ben Wheeler, offering rolling hills and glimpses of East Texas farmland.
Transportation Alternatives: Shuttle, Bus, Train, and Flight
Not everyone wants to drive, and the Dallas‑to‑Tyler corridor is served by several public and private carriers. Below is an overview of each option, with tips on when each mode makes the most sense.
Shuttle Services
Scheduled shuttle vans operate between downtown Dallas hotels and Tyler’s major business districts. Most companies require a reservation at least 24 hours in advance and often use I‑20 for the journey. Travelers appreciate the door‑to‑door service, especially those heading to conference centers or medical facilities in Tyler.
Public Bus Options
Both Greyhound and Jefferson Lines provide intercity bus service on this route. Buses depart from the Dallas Bus Station on Lamar Street and arrive at Tyler’s central bus depot on North Broadway Avenue. The trip typically takes around 2½ to 3 hours, and tickets can be purchased online or at the station.
Amtrak Train Service
Amtrak’s Texas Eagle route passes through Longview, about 30 miles east of Tyler. While there is no direct passenger rail station in Tyler, you can take the train to Longview and then connect via a local shuttle or bus. This option is popular with rail enthusiasts who enjoy scenic views of the Piney Woods.
Flying: Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Tyler Pounds Regional (TYR)
For travelers looking to save time, a short hop between DFW and Tyler’s regional airport is a viable alternative. Commercial flights are limited—typically one or two flights per day—operated by regional carriers. According to the airline’s website (aa.com), promotional fares are occasionally listed for the DFW‑TYR corridor, but availability can change rapidly; the most recent listings were collected within the last 24 hours and may no longer be available at the time of booking.

What Does the Dallas to Tyler Shuttle Cost?
Fares are per vehicle, not per person. A private sedan for 1 to 2 passengers starts from $220 each way at the current Step-2 base rate, and a large SUV for up to 4 runs from $292. Your exact fare depends on your pickup and drop-off addresses - DFW versus Love Field pickups quote slightly differently - plus vehicle size and time of day. Check live rates for your addresses; the price you see is the door-to-door fare with no surge pricing.
For context, 81 completed Dallas-Tyler trips ran from about $161 to $382 with a median near $249, so most riders land between the sedan base and the SUV rate depending on party size and airport. The $278 average cited above reflects larger vehicles in the mix.
Plan Your Dallas to Tyler Trip
The drive from Dallas to Tyler is about as easy as Texas road trips get: one interstate, an hour and a half, and a Piney Woods welcome at the end. But if you'd rather not make the trip yourself — whether you're flying into DFW, traveling with family and luggage, or arranging transportation for a parent or student — a professional shuttle turns that two-hour drive into door-to-door service with none of the parking, traffic, or weather worries.

Why travelers ride Dallas to Tyler with Texas Shuttle
The run from Dallas to Tyler covers roughly 120 miles east along the I-20 corridor, and our drivers know exactly how DFW-area traffic can stretch what should be about a two-hour drive into a longer afternoon. Most riders on this route are East Texas regulars: University of Texas at Tyler students heading home for breaks, families visiting relatives near the Tyler Rose Garden, and travelers flying into Dallas who'd rather skip a rental car than navigate the city. With door-to-door pickup, you're collected at your home, office, or hotel — whether that's in Lake Highlands, Plano, or right off Broadway in Tyler — and dropped at the other end.
Confirmed trips on this route number 468 so far, with an average fare of around $277. Tyler-bound riders often use the trip to relax after a long flight, while Dallas-bound East Texans like arriving rested instead of white-knuckled after an evening drive back into metro traffic.
What happens if my flight into Dallas is delayed?
Delays happen, especially on evening arrivals. We monitor incoming flights and adjust your pickup time accordingly, so your driver will be there when you actually land — not just when your itinerary said you would. If you're flying into DFW or Love Field and continuing to Tyler, that's one less thing to track.
Is the fare the same wherever I'm picked up in Dallas?
Average fares on this route run around $277, but exact pricing depends on your specific pickup and drop-off addresses. Get a quote for your exact locations before you book — no surprises when the vehicle arrives.
