Galveston to Bay City Shuttle

Travelers leaving the historic Strand District of Galveston or the seaside condos along Seawall Boulevard can step directly into a private shuttle that heads south on I‑45 South. The route threads past the industrial corridors of Texas City, skirts the marshes of the Galveston Bay estuary, and crosses the San Bernard River before entering the rolling plains that lead to Bay City. Door‑to‑door service means the driver meets you at your exact address — whether it’s a beachfront rental on 61st Street or a business park near the Galveston Railroad Museum — and drops you at any location in Bay City, from the Matagorda County Courthouse to the Bay City Town Center.

The typical drive covers roughly 74 miles as the crow flies, with road distance a bit longer, and takes between 101 and 138 minutes depending on traffic around the Texas City industrial zone and the I‑45 corridor through La Marque. Because the shuttle follows the main interstate, you avoid the stop‑and‑go of local highways such as FM 517 or FM 2004, keeping the journey smooth even during peak holiday weekends when the Seawall sees heavy tourist flow.

For passengers arriving on a flight, the service monitors arrivals at Scholes International Airport (GLS) and adjusts the pickup time automatically; the driver will be waiting when you clear baggage claim. Likewise, if you’re heading to Bay City Regional Airport (BYY) for a connecting flight, the same real‑time tracking ensures the shuttle departs Galveston with enough buffer to meet your schedule.

Luggage space is sized for standard suitcases, carry‑ons, and beach gear such as coolers or surfboards. The vehicle interior is climate‑controlled, and the driver can accommodate a brief stop for a coffee break at the Buc‑ee’s near the I‑45/ FM 517 interchange if the group wishes. No hidden fees are added for extra bags or minor detours; the quoted fare covers the full door‑to‑door trip.

How long does the trip usually take?

Expect 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes, with the exact time varying by traffic on I‑45 South around Texas City and the San Bernard River crossing.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight in real time and shift the pickup accordingly; the driver will be there when you land, no extra charge for the adjusted timing.

How Do I Get an Accurate Quote?

What are the benefits of using our service?

Door to door shuttle service is included on all our trips. Usually trips in Texas are non-stop in a nicer vehicle. Texas Shuttle can pick you up Dallas, or your home anytime 24/7. We normally take you straight there, which is very different from other companies that leave you at a bus stop in Texas, and stop and wait repeatedly. We also don't pack you in with 8-54 people you don't know.

Does it cost anything to change my reservation?

You can change the date and time of your reservation at no cost. If you don't know the exact address, you can enter the city for now and reserve it, then give us the full address later. If you don't know your flight number landing in Dallas, you can estimate the time and update the flight number and time later.

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.
