Daily Schedule (Temple 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. Heading there from Georgetown? See our Georgetown to Dallas shuttle page for direct service.
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 Temple 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.

Driving Distance and Time: Temple TX to Dallas TX
If you’re planning a trip from Temple, TX to Dallas, TX, the first thing most travelers want to know is how far apart the two cities are and how long the drive will take. According to publicly available route data, the non‑stop driving time is roughly 2 hours 18 minutes (source: distance‑cities.com). The total driving distance works out to about 130 miles, which is roughly twice the 64.85‑mile midpoint distance that separates the two cities.
Route Overview
Most drivers follow Interstate 35 (I‑35) north from Temple. The highway runs through the heart of central Texas, passing the towns of Belton and Salado before reaching Waco. North of Waco, I‑35 splits into I‑35E that continues toward Dallas, while I‑35W veers toward Fort Worth. For a direct Dallas arrival, stay on I‑35E and you’ll be delivered to downtown Dallas in under two and a half hours under normal traffic conditions.
Fuel Cost Estimate
Using the current average U.S. regular‑grade gasoline price of $3.48 per gallon (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2023), a typical sedan that gets around 25 MPG will consume roughly 5.2 gallons for the 130‑mile trip. This translates to an estimated fuel cost of $18.13 (source: distance‑cities.com). Remember that actual costs can vary based on vehicle efficiency, real‑time pump prices, and any detours you may take.
Environmental Impact
The same 130‑mile journey generates approximately 102.05 pounds of CO₂ for an average passenger car (source: distance‑cities.com). That’s about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile. If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, consider car‑pooling, taking a shuttle, or using public transit, all of which spread emissions across more passengers.
