Glen Rose to Dallas Airport Shuttle
Welcome to Texas Shuttle, your reliable door-to-door transportation from Glen Rose, Texas to Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) and Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW).

The drive from Glen Rose to Dallas Love Field is approximately 81 miles. Our drivers head north on US-67 from Glen Rose, then merge east onto I-20 toward Dallas before connecting to I-35E North and exiting for Love Field. The trip typically takes 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes door-to-door depending on traffic through Cleburne, Cedar Hill, and southern Dallas. To DFW Airport the routing is similar via US-67 and I-20, then north on TX-360 — also about 80 miles and a comparable drive time.
We pick you up at home anywhere in Glen Rose and Somervell County, and we serve the entire corridor between the Brazos River area and Dallas. If you're closer to the lake or the cities just east, see our Granbury to Dallas shuttle page. For other rides into Dallas or to Love Field, see our full Dallas airport shuttle hub.
At Dallas Love Field we drop you off curbside at the main DAL terminal so you can walk straight to your check-in counter or TSA line. Our drivers help with luggage at both ends. Late-model vehicles, professional drivers, and flat door-to-door pricing every time.
Why Glen Rose travelers choose a Dallas airport shuttle
Somervell County sits about 80 miles southwest of the Dallas metro, far enough that traditional rideshare apps rarely show available drivers — and when they do, surge pricing for an 80-mile fare typically lands well above a flat-rate shuttle. Most of our Glen Rose passengers fall into three groups: visitors leaving Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, or one of the local resorts after a weekend trip; contractors and engineers rotating in and out of the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant; and Glen Rose residents heading out for business or family travel. In every case the shuttle solves the same problem — a reliable, pre-booked door-to-door ride at a fixed price, instead of gambling on a rural rideshare match or asking a friend to make a four-hour round trip.
Should you fly out of Dallas Love Field (DAL) or DFW?
From Glen Rose the two airports are almost the same distance — Love Field is about 81 miles via US-67 and I-20, and DFW is roughly 80 miles via US-67, I-20, and TX-360. The deciding factor is usually your airline. Dallas Love Field is a Southwest Airlines focus city and handles a small number of Delta flights; it's smaller, faster to walk through, and often easier on early-morning departures. DFW is the American Airlines global hub and the only Dallas-area option for most international routes, with terminals A through E and a SkyLink train between them — plan a little extra time inside. Tell our dispatcher which airline and terminal when you book and we'll route the drop-off accordingly.
When should the driver pick you up?
For domestic flights out of DAL we recommend a pickup that gets you curbside about 90 minutes before departure; for DFW domestic, 2 hours; and for international out of DFW, 3 hours. Working backwards from those targets, a typical Glen Rose pickup runs about 4 hours before a DAL domestic flight (2-hour drive + 90 minutes at the airport + a 30-minute buffer), or about 4 hours 30 minutes before a DFW domestic. Weekday-morning rush along I-20 and I-35E between roughly 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. can add 20-30 minutes — if your flight boards in that window, let us know and we'll build the cushion in.
What to expect on the route
The drive from Glen Rose runs north on US-67 through Glen Rose proper, past the turnoff for Dinosaur Valley State Park, then through Cleburne before merging onto I-20 eastbound. US-67 is a four-lane divided highway for most of the trip and stays open in nearly all weather; the only stretches that occasionally slow down are construction zones around Cleburne and Cedar Hill. Once on I-20, the route splits — I-35E North takes you to Dallas Love Field via the Dallas Tollway exit, while TX-360 North carries you to DFW's south entrance and terminal ring road. Our drivers monitor live traffic and will reroute through Mansfield or Grand Prairie if there's an incident on the main corridor.
Group size, child seats, and luggage
For 1 to 3 passengers with standard luggage we send a sedan or small SUV; 4 to 6 passengers travel in a full-size SUV or shuttle van; larger groups (wedding parties, corporate teams, family reunions) get a passenger van or a coordinated multi-vehicle pickup. Child seats and booster seats are available on request at no extra charge — just tell us the child's age and weight when you book so we send the right seat. There's no per-bag fee; if you're traveling with golf clubs, skis, a wheelchair, or oversize gear, mention it at booking and we'll confirm fit before dispatch.
How Glen Rose to Dallas shuttle pricing works
Our fares are flat door-to-door rates based on the exact pickup address, the destination airport, and your group size — not per-mile metered. That means a delay on I-20 doesn't change your price, and you'll see the full total in the booking tool before you confirm. Round trips qualify for a 10% discount with promo code ONLINE. We accept all major credit cards and corporate accounts; receipts are emailed automatically for expense reporting.
What time should I expect my driver?
Your dedicated driver will arrive within 15 minutes of your scheduled pickup time. This ensures that you have ample time to settle in the vehicle before your departure.
How many bags can I bring along?
You can bring as many suitcases and personal items as you need, provided they fit comfortably in our shuttle. We recommend checking with us if you have an unusually large amount of luggage to ensure everything will fit securely.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
In the event of a flight delay, simply contact your driver or send a message through our app to reschedule your pickup time. We'll accommodate any changes in your travel plans to make sure you arrive at the airport on time for your departure.
