The route begins in Kilgore (Gregg County) and follows US-259 / TX-31 north to I-20, then runs I-20 West the rest of the way — about 140 miles total. You'll pass through Longview, Tyler (the East Texas Rose Capital), the antiques district at Canton, and Terrell before entering the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

Our service can drop you off at any terminal — A, B, C, D, or E — depending on your flight itinerary. We understand that every passenger has unique needs, so we aim to provide a seamless and personalized experience throughout the journey.
What to Expect on the Kilgore to Fort Worth Route
The Kilgore-to-DFW corridor is a classic East Texas airport run — about 140 road miles from central Kilgore (ZIP 75662) to either DFW International or Dallas Love Field (DAL). The drive follows I-20 West almost the entire way after a short connector north out of Kilgore via US-259 or TX-31. Most riders booking this route are catching a 6–10 a.m. departure, so our drivers either pre-position in Kilgore the night before or stage in Longview / Tyler and pull into your driveway 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled pickup window.

Round-trip bookings using promo code ONLINE save 10%. Trips to Dallas Love Field (DAL) typically run a few dollars less than DFW because the city-side approach is shorter on the back half of the route. SUVs for 4–6 passengers and shuttle vans for larger groups are priced flat at booking, not per seat — so a family or work crew often costs less per person than splitting two sedans.
Travel tips for Kilgore riders
- Book the day before for a morning flight. Because the corridor is roughly 3 hours one-way, dispatch confirms the night-before pickup window and the driver positions early. A 4:30 a.m. pickup for a 9:00 a.m. DFW flight is a typical window.
- Tell us which terminal or airport. DFW Terminals A and B (American Airlines) sit on the north end of International Parkway; Terminal E (Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue) is on the south end and takes 5–8 extra minutes from the I-635 / SH-183 approach. Dallas Love Field (Southwest, primarily) is a separate destination and adds about 25 minutes through central Dallas. Naming the airport and terminal in the booking saves circling and curb-side time.
- Flight tracking is included. If your inbound DFW or DAL flight runs late, our dispatcher adjusts the Kilgore return pickup automatically — no need to call from the gate.
- Bring a car seat if you need one. Texas law requires safety seats for children under 8 or under 4'9". We can supply a seat at booking if you request it in advance.
- Multiple stops are fine. Many Kilgore riders share with a neighbor or stop in Longview, Tyler, or Canton along the way; mention the extra address at booking and we'll quote a single flat fare for the whole group.
- Plan for I-20 construction. TxDOT maintenance windows on the I-20 corridor between Canton and Terrell can add 10–20 minutes during daylight hours; for tight connections, our dispatcher will route via US-80 alternate as needed.
