Frequently asked questions: Texarkana to Love Field
How much does an airport shuttle from Texarkana to Love Field cost?
Door-to-door shuttles from Texarkana to Dallas Love Field (DAL) start from around $279 for solo travelers and average about $354 for a typical booking, based on actual completed trips on this corridor over the past several years. Final price depends on your exact pickup address in Texarkana, group size, and vehicle (sedan, SUV, or van). Texarkana to Love Field is a long-haul ~185-mile run, so most bookings fall in the $280–$430 range. You get a flat-rate quote up front — no surge pricing, no hidden fees, no surprise tolls.
How long does the drive take from Texarkana to Love Field Airport?
Plan on roughly 3 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours of door-to-door drive time for the ~185-mile run from Texarkana to Dallas Love Field (DAL). The route runs west on Interstate 30 the whole way — there is no toll road and no major route alternative — then exits onto Mockingbird Lane / Cedar Springs Road for the final mile into the airport. Morning inbound traffic on I-30 W through Mesquite and East Dallas adds 15–30 minutes during the 7–9 AM window, which we pad into the pickup time.
What time should I leave Texarkana to catch an early morning flight at Love Field?
For domestic flights at Love Field, TSA recommends arriving 2 hours before departure. From Texarkana that usually means a pickup about 6 to 6.5 hours before your scheduled departure for the busy 5–9 AM bank (roughly 3.5–4 hours of drive time including the I-30 W congestion window, plus 30 minutes of buffer, plus 2 hours at the airport). For a 7 AM departure that means a 12:30–1:00 AM pickup. We run these overnight runs every day and recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance so we can pre-position a vehicle in Texarkana.
Is the Texas Shuttle from Texarkana cheaper than driving yourself and parking at Love Field?
For a single solo traveler a Texarkana road trip is roughly 370 miles round-trip in fuel plus ~$22–$26/day for the closest Love Field garage or $14–$17/day for economy parking. A four-day trip is about $55–$100 in parking plus $50–$70 in fuel — so $100–$170 driving yourself. The Texas Shuttle one-way is more, but you skip ~7 hours of round-trip driving, you don't risk a late-night I-30 W return after your flight, your car stays safely at home, and groups of 2–4 split the flat rate and come out ahead overall.
Do you run 24/7 for early-morning or late-night Love Field flights?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including overnight pickups from Texarkana for pre-dawn Love Field departures and late-night returns after the last Southwest arrivals. There is no off-hours surcharge on Texarkana–DAL bookings. Because Texarkana is a 3.5–4 hour run, overnight runs are common and we recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance so a driver and vehicle can be scheduled for your specific window.
Can I bring kids, a car seat, or extra luggage on the Texarkana to Love Field shuttle?
Yes. Tell us the number of passengers, ages of any children, and luggage count when you book and we send a vehicle that fits — sedan, SUV, or 8–11 passenger van for larger families. Car seats can be requested at no extra charge. Standard luggage (one carry-on plus one checked bag per passenger) is included; oversized items (golf clubs, fishing rods, large strollers) can be noted at booking so the driver brings a vehicle with the right cargo room for the long run to Dallas.
Do you wait at Love Field arrivals if my flight or bags take longer than expected?
Yes. For arrivals from Love Field back to Texarkana, we track your flight in real time so your driver is at the curb when you walk out of baggage claim. We include a standard wait window after wheels-down at no extra cost so you have time to deplane, grab checked bags at the DAL carousel, and meet your driver at the assigned arrivals lane on the lower-level curbside (the Love Field arrivals curb is the lower roadway directly outside baggage claim). For longer delays the driver stays — we do not abandon a customer at the airport.
Do you serve both Texarkana, TX and Texarkana, AR for Love Field trips?
Yes. Texarkana straddles the Texas–Arkansas state line and we pick up at any address on either side — Texas-side neighborhoods like Wake Village, Nash, and New Boston, plus Arkansas-side pickups in central Texarkana, AR and along the I-30 corridor toward Hope. The flat rate to Dallas Love Field is the same on either side of the state line; the only difference is the drive time, which is a few minutes longer from the easternmost Arkansas-side addresses.

Booking Your Early Morning Shuttle from Texarkana to Love Field
For domestic flights at Love Field, TSA recommends arriving 2 hours before departure. This means for a 7:00 AM flight, you need to be at the airport by 5:00 AM, which translates to a 12:30–1:00 AM pickup from your Texarkana location. These overnight runs are common for the Texarkana-to-Love Field corridor, and we run them every day.
We strongly recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance so we can pre-position a vehicle and driver in Texarkana for your specific window. When you call to book, be sure to tell us the number of passengers, ages of any children traveling with you, and your expected luggage count. This allows us to dispatch the right vehicle for your party—sized appropriately whether you're a solo traveler with a single bag or a family with multiple suitcases and car seats.
Our fleet includes sedans for 1–3 passengers, SUVs for 4+ passengers with luggage, and 8–11 passenger vans for larger groups. We send the vehicle that fits your needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including overnight pickups from Texarkana for pre-dawn Love Field departures and late-night returns after the last Southwest arrivals. Whether your flight departs at 5:00 AM or lands at midnight, we have you covered.
The nature of the Texarkana-to-Love Field route—a 3.5–4 hour drive—means that overnight runs are a regular part of our schedule. Our drivers are experienced with these overnight routes and understand the importance of timely pickups when you have an early flight.
