Red Roof Inn DfW to DFW International Airport Shuttle
Welcome to Texas Shuttle! We provide a reliable, door-to-door shuttle service between Red Roof Inn DFW (8150 Esters Boulevard, Irving, TX 75063) and DFW International Airport. The drive is about 5 to 6 miles, and a typical door-to-curb run is 10 to 15 minutes off-peak, slightly longer during rush hour or terminal congestion.
Pickup happens right at the lobby or porte-cochere of the Red Roof Inn DFW on Esters Boulevard, just off John W. Carpenter Freeway (TX 114). From there, our standard routing is Esters Boulevard south to TX 114 East, then directly into the DFW terminal loop via the North Airport Entrance. Most trips never touch I-635 or I-35E — the airport is essentially across the highway from the hotel.
At DFW, we drop you at your specific terminal curb — Terminal A, B, C, D, or E — based on the airline you enter when booking. We watch your flight in real time on return trips and adjust pickup automatically for early arrivals or delays. Whether you’re catching a 5 AM Southwest departure out of Terminal E or a late-night American flight from Terminal A, the routing and timing are dialed in for the short Irving-to-DFW hop.
Do I have enough time for my flight?
A typical door-to-curb drive time from Red Roof Inn DfW to DFW is about 10 to 15 minutes. We recommend leaving the hotel at flight time minus 2 hours 15 minutes for domestic flights, or flight time minus 3 hours for international, to give yourself buffer for check-in, TSA, and the terminal walk to your gate.
Will you help me with my bags?
Absolutely! Our friendly drivers will assist you with your luggage, making sure you have a hassle-free journey. Whether it’s a carry-on or two suitcases, we’ve got you covered.
What happens if there’s a flight delay?
No worries—we offer free airport waits up to 2 hours for connecting flights. Our drivers will wait with you at the airport until your next flight is boarding. Just let them know about your plans when you book your ride.

The route in detail: Esters Boulevard to TX 114 to DFW terminals
Red Roof Inn DFW sits on Esters Boulevard at the John W. Carpenter Freeway (TX 114) interchange in Irving, on the west side of Las Colinas. The DFW Airport perimeter is about 1.5 miles east of the hotel as the crow flies, and the road distance to any terminal curb is roughly 5 to 6 miles via TX 114 East and the airport’s North Entrance. Our drivers know which terminal exit to take from the North Airport Drive loop based on your airline, so there’s no driving the full terminal ring road. For 5 AM departures and other early-morning flights, this is one of the shortest, most predictable airport runs in the DFW metroplex — no I-635 congestion, no downtown Dallas detour, no I-35 backups.
Which DFW terminal is your flight at?
DFW has five passenger terminals laid out in a horseshoe ring (Terminals A, B, C, D, E). Terminal A handles most American Airlines domestic flights. Terminal B handles American Eagle and additional American mainline. Terminal C is also primarily American Airlines. Terminal D is the international terminal — American international, British Airways, Emirates, Qatar, Lufthansa, Korean, Japan Airlines, and most other foreign carriers. Terminal E handles Southwest, Delta, United, Alaska, Frontier, Spirit, JetBlue, and Sun Country. Tell us your airline (or flight number) when you book and we’ll route to the correct terminal curb — you don’t need to know your gate.
Pricing for the Red Roof Inn DFW to DFW shuttle
Because the route is short, this is one of our most affordable airport runs in the DFW area. One-way sedan service starts at $44 for 1 to 3 passengers and a normal luggage load, with the price you see at booking being the door-to-curb total — no hidden airport access fees, no metered surcharges, no surge pricing. Larger parties (4 to 6 passengers) move up to an SUV or van at a flat per-vehicle rate, and groups of 7 or more get a full-size shuttle. Pricing is per vehicle, not per passenger, so a family of four pays the same flat rate as one person in the same vehicle class.

Early-morning and red-eye departures from DFW
A large share of Red Roof Inn DFW guests are connecting travelers catching first-bank departures out of DFW — Southwest’s early Terminal E waves, American’s 6 AM Terminal A / B departures, and the international wave out of Terminal D between 8 AM and 11 AM. Our dispatch runs 24/7, and we routinely book pickups at 3 AM, 4 AM, and 5 AM. For pre-6 AM flights, leave the hotel at least 2 hours 15 minutes before departure; for international Terminal D flights, build in 3 hours, especially during peak summer travel when TSA lines back up at the DFW security checkpoints. Late-night arrivals on the return are equally simple: meet the driver at your terminal’s curbside pickup area, and we get you back to the hotel in 10 to 15 minutes.
Return shuttle from DFW back to Red Roof Inn DFW
The return is the same short route in reverse: pick up at your arrival terminal’s curbside zone, head west on TX 114, and exit at Esters Boulevard. We track your inbound flight in real time and adjust the pickup window for early arrivals, delays, or diversions — you don’t have to call to update us. If you’re checking bags through and your inbound is late, we hold the driver at no extra charge for up to 2 hours after touchdown so you can clear baggage claim without rushing. Book the round-trip at booking time and use promo code ONLINE for 10% off the round-trip fare.
