Daily Schedule (Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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.

Shreveport to Dallas: The Complete Travel Guide

Last updated: January 2028. All drive times and distances below are estimates based on typical conditions along Interstate 20; always check live traffic and weather before you travel.

Traveling from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas, Texas is one of the most common cross-state trips in the Ark-La-Tex region. The two cities sit roughly 190 miles apart, and for most travelers the journey comes down to a straightforward drive west along Interstate 20. Whether you're heading to Dallas for a connecting flight at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, a Cowboys game at AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington, or a weekend in Deep Ellum, this guide covers every way to make the trip — driving, shuttle service, bus, and flying — plus what to see along the way.

How Far Is Shreveport from Dallas?

The drive from downtown Shreveport (ZIP code 71101) to downtown Dallas (ZIP code 75201) covers approximately 190 miles, taking about three hours under normal traffic conditions, according to route planning tools like MapQuest. The route is almost entirely a single highway: Interstate 20 West. That simplicity is part of what makes this corridor so popular — there's essentially one primary path, it's well-maintained, and it passes through a string of East Texas towns that make convenient rest stops.

A few factors can stretch that three-hour estimate:

Dallas rush hour: I-20 and the downtown Mix Master interchange can slow considerably between 7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. on weekdays.
Construction zones: TxDOT regularly works on I-20 segments near Terrell and through the eastern Dallas suburbs, so check current conditions before departing.
Weather: North Texas and Northwest Louisiana both see ice storms in winter and heavy thunderstorms in spring, either of which can add significant time.

Driving from Shreveport to Dallas: Route Breakdown

If you're behind the wheel, here's how the trip unfolds. These directions follow the primary route planners recommend from central Shreveport to downtown Dallas:

Step-by-Step Directions

Leave Shreveport heading west on Interstate 20. From downtown Shreveport, you'll merge onto I-20 West, crossing the Red River into Texas almost immediately.
Marshall, TX (approx. 35–40 minutes in): Your first major East Texas stop. Marshall is known for its historic downtown and the Starr Family State Historic Site.
Longview, TX (approx. 1 hour in): A larger city with plenty of gas stations, hotels, and restaurants just off I-20. If you need a substantial break, this is a natural one.
Gladewater & Tyler area (approx. 1.5 hours in): Tyler, the biggest city between Shreveport and Dallas, sits a short drive north of I-20 via Loop 323 or TX-155. It's famous as the Rose Capital of America and home to the Tyler Rose Garden.
Canton, TX (approx. 2.5 hours in): Home of the legendary First Monday Trade Days, the massive outdoor market held the Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month. If your trip coincides, expect heavier traffic near the Canton exits.
Terrell & Mesquite (approx. 3 hours in): You'll pass through the eastern Dallas suburbs as I-20 widens toward the metroplex. Mesquite is home of the famous Mesquite Championship Rodeo.
Arrive in downtown Dallas: I-20 connects to downtown Dallas via I-635 or, more directly, by continuing to US-175/I-45 approaches. Follow signs for downtown Dallas to reach the Arts District, Klyde Warren Park, or the convention area near 75201.

Where to Stop Along I-20

The Shreveport–Dallas corridor is well-served with travel centers and local eateries. Longview and Tyler offer the fullest range of sit-down dining, while Marshall and Canton are good for quick stops. If you have extra time, a short detour to Caddo Lake near Uncertain, Texas — just north of I-20 past Marshall — rewards travelers with one of the most unique cypress-swamp ecosystems in the country.

Shreveport to Dallas: All Your Transportation Options Compared

Not everyone wants to drive themselves. Here's how the main options stack up:

Option	Typical Duration (est.)	Best For	Things to Know
Drive yourself	~3 hours	Flexibility, families, luggage-heavy trips	Full control of schedule; fuel and parking costs in Dallas vary
Private shuttle / car service	~3–3.5 hours	Airport transfers, business travel, door-to-door comfort	Door-to-door service; reserve in advance; contact Texas Shuttle for a quote
Intercity bus	~4–5.5 hours	Budget travelers without a car	Schedules vary by carrier and day; terminals typically in central Shreveport and Dallas
Flying (SHV to DFW)	~1 hour flight, but 4+ hours door-to-door with check-in and transfers	Travelers connecting to international flights	Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) offers limited daily service to DFW; factor in security and ground transport

For most travelers, driving or taking a shuttle wins on total time and convenience. Flying between the two cities sounds fast, but once you add the drive to Shreveport Regional Airport, check-in time, the flight itself, and ground transportation from DFW (which is itself about 20 miles from downtown Dallas), the door-to-door time usually exceeds the drive.

Taking a Shuttle from Shreveport to Dallas

Shared and private shuttle service is a popular middle ground: you get door-to-door transportation without the fatigue of driving I-20 yourself. Texas Shuttle provides scheduled and on-demand service along this corridor, picking up in the Shreveport area and dropping off at Dallas addresses and DFW International Airport. Typical benefits include:

Door-to-door service — no rental car counters, no downtown Dallas parking fees
Luggage-friendly — ideal for cruises out of Galveston connections, extended stays, or students moving to Dallas universities like SMU or UT Southwestern
Professional drivers familiar with I-20 conditions and DFW airport terminals
Flexible scheduling for early-morning flight departures or late arrivals

Because shuttle fares vary with vehicle type, group size, and timing, request a current quote on our Shreveport to Dallas route page or our reservations page rather than relying on outdated third-party figures.

Flying: Shreveport Regional (SHV) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)

Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV), located southwest of downtown Shreveport off LA-3132 and US-171, offers scheduled commercial service to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on American Airlines, one of the major carriers operating from SHV. Flight time is short — roughly an hour in the air — but total travel time depends heavily on connections.

When flying makes sense:

You're continuing onward from DFW to a domestic or international connection and want a single ticketed itinerary
You have airline miles or status perks that make the flight worthwhile
Weather or road conditions make the drive unappealing

When it doesn't: for a simple Shreveport-to-Dallas trip, the math rarely favors flying. By the time you account for the trip to SHV, arriving 90 minutes before departure, the flight, and the trip from DFW into Dallas on the DART Orange Line or by car, you've generally spent more total time and money than a three-hour drive.

DFW Airport, by the way, is one of the largest airports in the United States by land area and by passenger volume, serving as American Airlines' largest hub. If you are connecting there, allow ample time between terminals — the Skylink train connects all terminals airside.

What to Do When You Arrive in Dallas

Downtown Dallas (75201) puts you within walking distance or a short ride of the city's headline attractions:

Dealey Plaza and The Sixth Floor Museum — the historic site of President Kennedy's assassination, with a museum in the former Texas School Book Depository
Klyde Warren Park — the deck park built over Woodall Rodgers Freeway, connecting downtown to the Arts District
Dallas Arts District — home to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, and the Winspear Opera House
Reunion Tower — the city's iconic geodesic observation ball on the skyline's southern edge
Deep Ellum — a short hop east of downtown, known for live music venues, murals, and restaurants
Bishop Arts District — in Oak Cliff across the Trinity River, a favorite for boutiques and local dining
Perot Museum of Nature and Science — a family favorite in Victory Park

Sports fans should note that AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) in Arlington and Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers) are about 20 miles west of downtown, reachable via I-30 — plan extra time on event days.

Making the Return Trip: Dallas to Shreveport

The reverse journey mirrors the outbound route — I-20 East through Mesquite, Terrell, Canton, Tyler, Longview, and Marshall before crossing back into Louisiana at the Red River. Sunday afternoons and holiday evenings see the heaviest eastbound traffic as weekend travelers return to Shreveport, so build in buffer time. If you need a ride back, Texas Shuttle also operates the Dallas to Shreveport route.

Frequently Asked Questions: Shreveport to Dallas

How long is the drive from Shreveport to Dallas?

Approximately 190 miles taking about three hours via Interstate 20 West under normal conditions, based on route estimates from planning tools like MapQuest. Dallas-area rush hour, construction, and weather can add 30–60 minutes or more.

What highway do you take from Shreveport to Dallas?

Interstate 20 West for nearly the entire trip. You'll cross from Louisiana into Texas just west of Shreveport and stay on I-20 through Marshall, Longview, the Tyler area, Canton, and Terrell before reaching the Dallas metroplex.

What cities do you pass through between Shreveport and Dallas?

The main cities along I-20 are Marshall, Longview, Tyler (just north of the highway), Canton, Terrell, and Mesquite. Each offers fuel, food, and lodging convenient to the interstate.

Is there a bus from Shreveport to Dallas?

Yes — intercity bus carriers operate on this corridor, though schedules and frequencies change periodically, so verify current timetables directly with carriers before planning. Buses typically take longer than driving due to intermediate stops.

Can I fly from Shreveport to Dallas?

Yes. American Airlines operates flights from Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The flight is short, but total door-to-door time — including airport arrival, security, and ground transport from DFW to downtown Dallas — often exceeds the three-hour drive.

What's the best time to leave Shreveport to avoid Dallas traffic?

Aiming to arrive in Dallas before 7 a.m. or between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. helps you avoid the worst of the metroplex's weekday congestion. Leaving Shreveport around mid-morning typically lands you in Dallas in the early afternoon lull.

Is there a shuttle from Shreveport to DFW Airport?

Yes. Texas Shuttle offers door-to-door shuttle service between the Shreveport area and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which is useful for early flights when driving and parking at DFW is inconvenient. See our DFW airport shuttle page for details and scheduling.

Plan Your Shreveport to Dallas Trip

The Shreveport–Dallas corridor is one of the easiest intercity routes in the South: a single interstate, predictable timing, and plenty of stops along the way. Drive it yourself for maximum flexibility, book a shuttle for door-to-door ease, or fly only when a DFW connection demands it. Ready to lock in your ride?

Pickup Locations

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 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.
