Garland to Dallas and DFW: What Riders Should Know
Garland sits immediately northeast of Dallas — about 18 road miles from downtown Dallas and roughly 25 miles from DFW Airport via I-635. Texas Shuttle runs this corridor 24/7 with private, door-to-door vehicles: no shared rides, no waiting at a remote bus stop, and no surge pricing.
Where we pick up in Garland
We serve every Garland address: downtown Garland near the Square, the Firewheel Town Center area, Duck Creek, Camelot, the Harbor Point and plantations neighborhoods along North Garland Avenue, and hotel pickups along I-635 and President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT). If you're flying out of DFW, tell us your terminal at booking — the driver goes straight to the right Departures curb.
The roads we use
- To downtown Dallas — I-635 South to I-30 West, or President George Bush Turnpike South to I-30; off-peak the run is 20–30 minutes.
- To DFW Airport — PGBT West to the airport's north entry on International Parkway; typically 30–40 minutes off-peak.
- To Love Field (DAL) — I-635 South to Mockingbird; about 25–35 minutes off-peak.
Weekday morning rush (6:30–9 a.m.) on I-635 is the reliability ceiling on this corridor — we quote pickup windows from dispatch's live experience on the road, not a best-case map estimate, and we ask for 15 extra minutes on 6:30 a.m. departures.
What it costs
Fares are flat door-to-door and quoted instantly in the booking tool above — the price you see is the total, with no fuel surcharge or airport access fee added later, and gratuity optional. Vehicle choice is the main variable: a sedan covers 1–2 passengers with standard luggage, an SUV covers 4–7 passengers or extra bags. Round trips with promo code ONLINE save 10%.
Traveler notes
- Early flights — a 4:30 a.m. pickup for a 7:30 a.m. DFW departure is a standard window from Garland addresses.
- Flight tracking on returns — inbound flights we track automatically; if your flight into DFW or Love Field lands late, dispatch adjusts the pickup.
- Car seats — request at booking (Texas law: children under 8 or under 4'9" need a safety seat).
Nearby corridors we also serve: Richardson to Dallas, Garland shuttle service hub, and Dallas shuttle service.
