San Antonio to Fort Worth Airport Shuttle

Round Trips Save You 10%

How is Your Service Different?

  • Any Address - We pick up and drop off at your home, business, hotel or any airport.
  • Better - most rides are non-stop and no sharing in a Nice Car, SUV or Shuttle.
  • Flexible - we pick you up on your schedule 24/7. It's also always free to change the date or time if your flight changes.
  • Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.
  • Faster - most rides take half the time, because it's just you in the vehicle. No need to stop and wait everywhere.
  • Convenient - Door to Door means no need to arrange or pay for a Taxi or Lyft to get home.
  • Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price or less than other shared ride shuttles for two or more people, or less than Uber with just one person.

Daily Schedule (San Antonio to Fort Worth)

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 San Antonio to Fort Worth 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Overview: San Antonio to Fort Worth Distance and Routes

When planning a trip from San Antonio to Fort Worth, the first thing to pin down is the mileage and the primary highways you’ll travel. The drive covers roughly 274 miles (about 440 km) and follows Interstate 35 (I‑35) for the majority of the route (source: Google Maps). Under normal traffic conditions the trip takes 4½ to 5½ hours, but travel times can stretch during rush‑hour periods or bad weather.

The route splits near the town of Hillsboro: I‑35 continues northward toward Dallas as I‑35E, while a western branch, I‑35W, diverges and heads straight into Fort Worth. Knowing this split helps you stay in the correct lane if you’re using a GPS that offers “fastest route” versus “avoid tolls.”

Travel Options Compared

Whether you prefer the flexibility of driving, the comfort of a shuttle, or the budget‑friendly appeal of a bus, each mode has distinct pros and cons. The table below summarises the most common options.

Travel Mode Approx. Travel Time Distance Covered Key Considerations
Driving (personal vehicle) 4½–5½ hours 274 mi Full control over stops, fuel and wear‑and‑tear costs, traffic‑dependent
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) 4½–6 hours 274 mi Price varies with demand; driver follows your preferred route
Shuttle Service 5–6 hours 274 mi Scheduled pickups, often via I‑35, may include a comfort break
Bus (Greyhound/FlixBus) 5–7 hours 274 mi Economical, restroom onboard, limited legroom
Train (Amtrak Texas Eagle) 6–7 hours ~275 mi Scenic, spacious seats, includes dining car; operates daily
Flight (to DFW/Love Field) 1 hour flight + 1½ hour ground transfer ~250 mi (air) Fastest overall, but adds airport check‑in and transport time

Driving: Tips and Route Highlights

Major Highways and Exits

The backbone of the journey is I‑35, a north‑south corridor maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Key cities you’ll pass include New Braunfels (exit 191), San Marcos (exit 199), Lockhart (exit 455) and Waco (exit 335). If you’re using a GPS, make sure to set “avoid tolls” if you wish to stay on the free I‑35; otherwise the system may route you onto the 290 EXPRESS or 130 Toll for a faster, albeit toll‑based, alternative.

Scenic Stops and Attractions Along I‑35

  • New Braunfels: Famous for the Comal River and the “Schmidt’s Bakery” where you can grab a kolache.
  • San Marcos: Home to the San Marcos Premium Outlets – perfect for a quick shopping break.
  • Lockhart: Known as the “Barbecue Capital of Texas.” Stop at Kreuz Market for a smoked brisket sandwich.
  • Waco: The Magnolia Market at the Silos draws visitors with its bakery, home goods, and gardens.
  • West, Texas: A small Czech enclave famous for “West Bakery” and “Czech Stop” for pastries.

Road‑Trip Itinerary Suggestions

A classic one‑day itinerary could look like this:

  1. 6:00 AM: Depart San Antonio.
  2. 8:00 AM: Arrive in Lockhart – brunch at Kreuz Market.

How Do I Get an Accurate Quote?

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.

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.

Our Nicer Vehicles

What type of vehicle will pick me up?

We send a San Antonio to Fort Worth 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.
