Pricing: Shared vs Private Shuttles

Choose a shared shuttle for the lowest price and predictable per-person costs.

Shared shuttles operate through a marketplace of operators serving Dallas Love Field, with pickups at the terminal curb and routes that cover the center, downtown, popular landmarks, and other attractions.

Pricing starts around $15-$25 per person to central destinations, with longer routes or stops to suburbs rising to $25-$35. This is the best option for groups seeking the lowest price and for travelers who don't mind shared pickups.

Wait times typically run 10-30 minutes after landing, and total door-to-door travel to the center is commonly 20-40 minutes, depending on traffic and how many others are in the shuttle.

Private options use sedans or SUVs with a chauffeur, delivering door-to-door access and faster travel.

Pricing for private transfers generally starts around $50-$70 for a sedan and $70-$110 for an SUV, depending on distance, traffic, and demand. Request a quote to lock in a fixed price, and consider hourly options for groups or business travel.

This type of transfer is better when you need flexibility, privacy, and direct access to your center or hotels. It’s a good fit for leisure travelers and those traveling on behalf of their group.

To decide, compare quotes, weigh public options for the cheapest route, and consider alternatives like Lyft for a balance of price and speed. If you need to dart quickly to the center after a long flight, private service can save time.

Schedule and Travel Time: From Terminal to Downtown

Shuttle schedules are straightforward: during peak hours, pickups depart every 15-20 minutes; off-peak, every 30-60 minutes. Downtown is located about 8-10 miles from Love Field, so expect 15-25 minutes on light traffic and 25-40 minutes when highways experience congestion.

Choose a modern fleet with options that fit your group: sedan, SUV, or limousine for special occasions. Limousines and other executive suites provide comfortable space for luggage and passengers, with predictable, fixed fares. A rental or private transport option can simplify a trip to the museum district or downtown marketplace.

Pickups happen near the baggage claim curb or Arrivals level; simply follow the signs and the driver’s name board. If you have oversized luggage or a lot of bags, tell the company in advance to reserve enough space.

Public routes are available but can add time due to stops and transfers. To maximize speed, discuss your schedule with the driver in advance and choose a company that offers direct routes to downtown–this helps you reach your hotel or suites faster and start your visit smoothly.

If you’re arriving on one of the airlines that frequently fly into DAL, coordinate the pickup with the driver to avoid delays. Compare options and pick pickups that fit your arrival time and budget. When you land, simply confirm the fare and route, thank the driver, and enjoy an efficient ride toward downtown.

Tips for a smooth transfer

Verify the fare in advance; only use reputable providers with clear, published rates. Sharing your flight number and arrival time with the chauffeur helps the pickup align with your landing, allowing you to reach your hotel or venue quickly.

Within 24 hours, a 25% service fee applies; within 2 hours, refunds are not issued except for confirmed flight delays or cancellations, which qualify for credit or rebooking. Always provide accurate information for your flight and hotel details to prevent delays. For changes, you can request a direct change to your pickup time or location up to 12 hours before the scheduled transfer, via the in-app support line.

If your flight is delayed or you need to adjust your arrival details, update the information as soon as you know. The pickup will align with the new arrival time at no extra charge, subject to driver availability. Discuss any budget constraints; the team can offer a plan that fits from budgets to luxury, and provide a direct quote for your revised trip.

No-show policy: if you miss the pickup and the driver leaves, you will be charged the fare for the reserved ride. If you need to abort after the driver is dispatched, contact support immediately to explore credit options or rescheduling.

Refunds, credits, and changes are processed to the original payment method when possible, or as a hotel or travel credit if requested; processing times typically range from 5 to 7 business days. If you have a question, contact our direct line. The in-app support provides real-time options, and a clear quote can be provided on request.

Pro Tip: Don't use the free airport WiFi to book. It's often slow and insecure. Use your cellular data instead.
