Longview to Carthage Shuttle

Longview to Carthage Shuttle

Traveling between Longview and Carthage is a quick hop across East Texas, and Texas Shuttle makes it a truly private, door‑to‑door experience. The two towns sit about 33 miles apart as the crow flies, with the most common road route following a stretch of US‑259 that threads through the piney woodlands and farm fields of Gregg and Marion counties. Typical travel time ranges from 45 to 62 minutes, depending on traffic around the Longview‑Eastman interchange and the occasional stoplight in Carthage’s historic downtown.

Our shuttle picks you up at your residence, office, or even the Longview Regional Airport (GKY) terminal, then cruises along the quiet lanes of County Road 1100 before merging onto US‑259 South. Along the way you’ll see familiar landmarks: the Texas A&M University‑Texarkana campus outskirts, the hummingbird‑rich wetlands near Lakeport, and the historic courthouse square in the town of Bogata. As you approach Carthage, the route shifts onto FM‑2632, giving you a view of the massive East Texas Oil Museum before pulling into the heart of Carthage’s downtown, just steps from the beloved Rusk County Courthouse and the local boutique hotels.

Because the service is private, you set the exact pickup location. Whether you’re loading luggage from the Longview Cargo Center or need help with a stroller at a family gathering in Carthage, our professional driver handles the doors and assists with your items. The vehicle is a comfortably sized sedan or SUV, depending on passenger count, equipped with climate control and a quiet cabin so you can relax or catch up on work during the short journey.

We keep a close eye on flight schedules at Longview Regional Airport. If your inbound flight is delayed, our dispatch team adjusts the pickup time so you won’t be left waiting outside the terminal. Likewise, for outbound travelers heading to Carthage Regional Airport (CAR), we monitor arrivals and coordinate the drop‑off to align with your departure time.

How long should I allow for the shuttle between Longview and Carthage?

Under normal traffic conditions the drive takes about 45‑62 minutes. We recommend budgeting an extra 15 minutes during morning rush hour on US‑259 and when school zones are active.

Can the driver meet me at the airport terminal?
