How much does a shuttle cost to Dallas TX?

It depends on the addresses you enter, if it's in the middle of the night or early morning, and the number of people. Check rates by clicking the buttons that say "Check Rates" below. There are different options under "Select Service" like "To Airport" or "From Airport" and "One Way" or "Round Trip". Choose the option called "Any Two Addresses 24/7" for non-airport transportation between any two addresses in Texas. Rates are total, not per person.

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.

Our Nicer Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send a Howard Johnson to Dfw Shuttle or SUV (4+ passengers) or a nice car (1-3 passengers) anytime and take you to any address in Fort Worth Texas, not just DFW. Our Dallas and Fort Worth vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinter Shuttles, Lincoln Navigators, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles.

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. 
• Terminal B - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door B8 and B30. 
• Terminal C - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door C4, C10, C24 and C30. 
• Terminal D - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door D22.
• Terminal E - Level 0 - Prearranged Limo is Downstairs near Door E35.

Love Field - Ground Transportation is on the lower level down the ramp from the baggage claim. Head to the right, and we pick you up where it says Oversized Vehicles.

Howard Johnson to DFW: Your Complete Shuttle Guide

Travelers staying at the Howard Johnson in Irving often need a reliable, door‑to‑door connection to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The route covers roughly ten miles as the crow flies, but the actual drive winds through Irving’s business districts, Carrollton’s residential neighborhoods, and major freeways before reaching the airport terminals. This guide consolidates all publicly available facts from Texas Shuttle, Hotel Planner, and the Arlington Trolley to help you plan a smooth transfer, compare options, and avoid common pitfalls.

Overview of the Howard Johnson to DFW Route

The Howard Johnson property sits near the intersection of West Airport Freeway (State Highway 183) and Northwest Highway (State Highway 114) in Irving. From there, the most direct path to DFW uses Highway 35W (I‑35W) northbound, then merges onto Highway 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) westbound before following airport signage to the desired terminal. Alternative routes may involve Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway) or State Highway 114 depending on traffic conditions, construction, or time of day. Because the journey crosses multiple municipal boundaries, drivers frequently encounter school zones, construction alerts, and rush‑hour congestion on I‑35W and HWY 121.

According to Texas Shuttle, a typical door‑to‑door drive time ranges from 20 to 30 minutes under normal traffic. During peak periods—weekday mornings (7 – 9 am) and evenings (4 – 6 pm)—travel can extend to 40 minutes or more. Conversely, late‑night or early‑morning departures often see the trip closer to the lower end of that range. The route’s straight‑line distance is about ten miles, but the actual road mileage is closer to 12‑14 miles due to the looping nature of the freeway system and the need to navigate airport access roads.

Driving Directions and Key Landmarks

• Start on West Airport Freeway (SH 183) heading east toward the Irving Convention Center.
• Turn left onto Northwest Highway (SH 114) and continue past the Las Colinas Urban Center, noting the distinctive high‑rise office towers and the Toyota Music Factory on the right.
• Merge onto Highway 35W (I‑35W) northbound after passing the Irving‑Las Colinas Rail Station (DART Orange Line).
• Stay on I‑35W for approximately four miles, then take the exit for Highway 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) westbound toward DFW Airport.
• Follow HWY 121 signs for Airport Terminals A‑E; the tollway splits into separate ramps for each terminal, clearly marked with overhead signage.
• Upon exiting the tollway, follow airport‑directed signs to the appropriate arrivals level; most pre‑arranged shuttles meet passengers on the lower level (Level 0) for terminals D and E, and on the upper level (Level 1) for terminals A, B, and C.

Landmarks that help drivers confirm they are on the correct route include the Irving Convention Center’s glass façade, the large “Welcome to Las Colinas” sign near the Trinity River, and the distinctive DFW Airport control tower visible from HWY 121 as you approach the airport perimeter.

How to Get an Accurate Quote from Texas Shuttle

1. Visit the Texas Shuttle website and select the “Any Two Addresses 24/7” option for non‑airport trips or the dedicated airport shuttle form for Howard Johnson to DFW.
2. Enter the full pickup address (including unit number if applicable) and the exact DFW terminal you need (e.g., “Terminal B, Level 1”). Providing the complete address enables the system to apply any zip‑code‑based rates that Texas Shuttle offers.
3. Choose your preferred vehicle type—sedan for 1‑3 passengers, SUV or van for 4+ passengers, or a black‑car option for a premium experience.
4. Click “Check Rates” to view the mileage‑based estimate. The quote will show the base fare, any applicable tolls, and a line for promotional codes.
5. If you have a promo code, enter “ONLINE” to receive a 10 % discount on round‑trip bookings.
6. Press “Reserve Now,” then supply your name, cell phone number, and email address to secure the reservation and receive a confirmation.
7. On the final screen, input a valid credit or debit card to complete the booking. Texas Shuttle does not charge the card until the trip is completed.

Following these steps ensures that the quote reflects the actual distance, any tolls on HWY 121 or I‑35W, and the selected vehicle class, giving you a transparent price before you travel.

Texas Shuttle maintains a fleet that ranges from standard sedans to larger SUVs and vans, allowing you to match the vehicle size to your party and luggage volume.

Pickup Locations at Howard Johnson

The Howard Johnson in Irving designates a specific curbside zone for pre‑arranged shuttle pickups, typically located near the main entrance on West Airport Freeway. Guests should:

1. Wait at the marked shuttle sign or the hotel’s front desk concierge area.
2. Have the reservation confirmation number and a photo ID ready for the driver.
3. Communicate any special needs (e.g., wheelchair assistance, oversized luggage) when booking so the appropriate vehicle can be dispatched.
4. Allow a five‑minute buffer before the scheduled pickup time to account for hotel check‑out procedures.

If the hotel’s front desk is busy, guests can call the Texas Shuttle dispatch line at (817) 403‑6196 to confirm the driver’s location and estimated arrival.

DFW Airport Arrival: Where to Meet Your Shuttle

Texas Shuttle drivers are instructed to meet passengers at the designated pre‑arranged limousine zones, which are clearly signposted on each terminal’s arrivals level.

• Terminal A – Level 1: Across the crosswalk from Door A15 and Door A29.
• Terminal B – Level 1: Across the crosswalk from Door B8 and Door B30.
• Terminal C – Level 1: Across the crosswalk from Door C4, Door C10, Door C24, and Door C30.
• Terminal D – Level 0: Downstairs near Door D22.
• Terminal E – Level 0: Downstairs near Door E35.

After collecting your baggage, proceed to the appropriate door, follow the overhead signs for “Pre‑Arranged Limo/Ground Transportation,” and look for the vehicle displaying the Texas Shuttle logo or the driver’s name placard.

Tips for a Smooth Shuttle Experience

• Confirm your flight status the night before; if a delay is anticipated, notify Texas Shuttle at least 30 minutes in advance so the driver can adjust the pickup window.
• Label all luggage with your name and contact information; this assists drivers in locating bags quickly, especially during busy periods.
• Keep your phone charged and set to receive calls or texts from the driver; Texas Shuttle uses SMS updates for driver arrival notifications.
• If traveling during major events at AT&T Stadium (e.g., Dallas Cowboys games), expect heavier traffic on HWY 121 and I‑35W; consider scheduling your shuttle 15‑20 minutes earlier than usual.
• Take advantage of the “Any Two Addresses 24/7” service for trips to nearby attractions such as the Irving Convention Center, the Las Colinas Canal Walk, or downtown Dallas, using the same vehicle type and pricing structure.
