Daily Schedule (Lancaster to Dallas)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fort Worth and Dallas, or right on time at Dallas Fort Worth. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged.
What is my pickup time at DFW?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights. If you don't have bags, you can schedule your pickup time for 15 mins after you land, or 30 mins for international flights with no bags.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Dallas?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights at DFW, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. Please let us know as soon as possible if your flight number changes. You can always text us if there is a delay. This is helpful since airlines don't always update things online when they are late.
What happens if my flight in Dallas arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at Dallas Fort Worth, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation. If it's hot outside, please wait inside the DFW terminal closest to prearranged until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Lancaster to Dallas Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible so a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays with picking you up. There's no need to confirm again if you've already made a reservation, and received a confirmation email.
How long does it take from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas?
Texas Shuttle trips from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus three and a half hours on the bus with a bunch of people. Rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average). You might think there's no way a bus or another shared ride shuttle company in Dallas or Fort Worth Shuttle would take that long, but they stop and wait 3-5 times to pickup people. Buses and other shuttles also don't leave on your schedule, so you might wait 30 mins - 1.5 hours if the bus is running late. With us it's just you going straight to Fort Worth or Dallas, normally non-stop in a nicer vehicle or shuttle.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. 3 hours and 30 minutes before your flight is normally enough time if you're going to DFW. Dallas Fort Worth recommends you be there 2 hours early to get through security and find your gate. Boarding in Dallas usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty mins is generally okay. Dallas and Fort Worth Shuttle driving takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good. You start running the risk that they will give your seat away in Dallas about 40 mins before your flight takes off. Sometimes a little extra time is good and makes your trip to Fort Worth stress free by adjusting for the unexpected.

Best Ways to Travel from Lancaster to Dallas
Lancaster, a growing suburb southeast of Dallas, sits about 23 miles from the heart of the city. Whether you need to commute for work, explore downtown attractions, or visit friends, you have several practical options that balance time, cost and convenience. The most common choices are driving yourself, taking a taxi or rideshare, hopping on a DART bus or tram, or combining public transit with a short taxi leg. Below you’ll find a clear, side‑by‑side comparison of each method, followed by detailed explanations of the routes, typical costs and useful tips to make the trip as smooth as possible.
Quick Comparison of Transport Options
| Mode | Typical Travel Time | Estimated Cost* | Frequency / Availability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Driving (personal car) | ≈ 23 minutes | $2 – $4 (fuel only) | Any time (traffic dependent) | Budget travelers who prefer flexibility |
| Taxi / Rideshare | ≈ 23 minutes | $30 – $40 | 24/7, on-demand | Speed and door‑to‑door service |
| Taxi to Glenn Heights P & R → DART 306 bus | ≈ 41 minutes (incl. transfer) | $17 – $20 | Bus runs roughly every 30 min (peak) to 60 min (off‑peak) | Cost‑conscious riders without a car |

Driving Yourself: The Cheapest Route
If you have a car, driving is the cheapest way to cover the 23‑mile corridor. Most GPS routes will send you via Interstate 35 East (I‑35E) or U.S. Route 67, both of which connect Lancaster directly to downtown Dallas. The trip typically takes about 23 minutes under normal traffic, and the fuel cost hovers around $2–$4 for a typical sedan (based on an average of 25 mpg and a fuel price of $3 per gallon). During rush hour (7‑9 am and 4‑6 pm), allow an extra 10‑15 minutes for congestion on I‑35E.
For those who prefer a more scenic drive, you can also take FM 1382 south to FM 664 (Oak Cliff) and then jump onto I‑30 eastbound. This route adds a few minutes but often avoids the heaviest part of the I‑35E merge near downtown. If you’re heading to a specific Dallas neighborhood (e.g., Deep Ellum or the Bishop Arts District), consider using U.S. 67 South to I‑30 East and exiting at the appropriate street.
Taking a Taxi or Rideshare
When speed and comfort are top priorities, a taxi or rideshare (such as Uber or Lyft) is the fastest option. The trip still covers roughly 23 miles and usually takes 23 minutes, but you’ll pay a premium: $30–$40 per ride, depending on demand and exact pickup location. Most drivers will pick you up anywhere in Lancaster and drop you off at your desired Dallas address, whether that’s a hotel in the Arts District or a restaurant in Deep Ellum.
If you’re traveling from a specific address in Lancaster, consider using the “Pickup Now” feature in the rideshare app and entering your destination. The most popular combined route is:
- Take a short taxi or rideshare from your Lancaster location to Glenn Heights Park & Ride (located near the intersection of FM 664 and I‑35E).
- Board the DART 306 bus toward downtown Dallas. The bus stops at major landmarks, including the South Dallas Transit Center.
- Transfer to the DART Red Line tram at the UNT Dallas Station for a direct ride into the West End Station, which sits in the heart of downtown Dallas.
This “taxi‑plus‑bus” combo takes roughly 41 minutes (including a short walk to the bus stop) and costs about $17–$20 per person (taxi fare for the first leg plus a DART day pass). The 306 bus runs every 30 minutes during peak times and every 60 minutes off‑peak, so it’s a good idea to check the DART schedule for the most up‑to‑date departure times.
