Fort Worth shares DFW Airport with Dallas, but it is its own city with its own rhythm: a compact downtown around Sundance Square, the Stockyards to the north, the museums and arenas of the Cultural District to the west, and TCU to the south. Most visitors arrive at DFW and need a reliable car west along TX-183 or TX-121, then a chauffeur who knows the difference between Exchange Avenue on a rodeo Saturday and Main Street on a Tuesday. Elly8.net books a Fort Worth limo and car service at a fixed, all-in price.
From DFW to downtown Fort Worth, a business sedan is US$220, a business SUV US$290 and an Executive Sprinter US$575, including the chauffeur, the vehicle, taxes, a standard gratuity and meet and greet inside arrivals. Rides in Fort Worth are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk.
How much is a car service from DFW to Fort Worth?
A fixed Elly8.net business sedan from DFW to downtown Fort Worth costs US$220 all-in. A business SUV is US$290, a First Class SUV US$355, a First Class sedan US$385 and an Executive Sprinter US$575. Tolls and parking are billed at cost. The same fixed prices apply for a Fort Worth car service to DFW.
DFW sits about 24 miles (39 km) from downtown Fort Worth, about 33 minutes on a clear road. The airport is on the Dallas-Fort Worth county line, so the drive west is usually steadier than the run into Dallas, but construction and the evening peak on TX-183 and I-820 still add time. Round trips are priced below two one-ways: US$420 in a business sedan and US$1,095 in an Executive Sprinter.
| Vehicle | DFW to downtown Fort Worth | DFW round trip | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business sedan | US$220 | US$420 | Solo business travellers and couples |
| Business SUV | US$290 | US$555 | Families and extra luggage |
| First Class sedan | US$385 | US$735 | Executives and VIP arrivals |
| First Class SUV | US$355 | US$675 | Premium travel with room for bags |

Passenger and luggage capacity varies by model, so tell the desk your party size and bags when you book. To lock in the price, choose the vehicle on the price panel.
Arriving at DFW for Fort Worth
DFW has five passenger terminals, A, B, C, D and E, linked airside by the Skylink train. With an Elly8.net airport transfer, the chauffeur tracks your flight number, adjusts to the actual landing and meets you inside arrivals with a name board, then walks you to the car. Complimentary waiting after a tracked landing is included, which matters when an international arrival meets a long Customs line. Our meet and greet page covers the routine.
DFW also has a direct rail link to Fort Worth. TEXRail starts in downtown Fort Worth and runs through North Richland Hills and Grapevine to DFW Terminal B (DFW public transit). Trinity Metro lists a local single ride at US$2, a local day pass at US$4 and a regional 1-day pass, which covers TEXRail, at US$9 (Trinity Metro tickets). Taxis run from the lower level of every DFW terminal.
Train, taxi, rideshare or a chauffeur?
For a single traveller with a roller bag staying near the downtown TEXRail station, the train is genuinely good value and avoids the highway; the desk will say so. A rideshare or taxi is reasonable for one or two people at quiet times. A pre-booked chauffeur is the better fit when the trip is complicated: a family with child seats, a group with golf bags or sample cases, a late arrival after trains thin out, a hotel in the Stockyards or the Cultural District away from the rail line, or a big-event weekend when app prices climb.
| Option | Price | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elly8.net business sedan, DFW to downtown | US$220 fixed, all-in | Fixed budget, meet and greet, families, late flights | Book ahead for event weekends |
| TEXRail, DFW Terminal B to downtown | US$2 local single ride, US$9 regional day pass | Solo travellers with light bags | Schedules, walk from the station, Terminal B only |
| Taxi from DFW | metered fare | One or two travellers, off-peak | Price depends on traffic |
| Rideshare | app price, varies with demand | Short notice | Surge at peak times and after events |

Downtown, Sundance Square and the business districts
Downtown Fort Worth is walkable and well kept, with Sundance Square at its heart, the Bass Performance Hall, the Fort Worth Convention Center and a cluster of hotels within a few blocks. It is the centre used for the prices on this page. West 7th and the Near Southside fill the dinner and nightlife map, and TCU's campus brings parents, recruiters and game-day crowds south of downtown.
Business in Fort Worth runs from downtown law and finance offices to the logistics and aerospace parks to the north. Many visitors split a day between Fort Worth and Dallas, or between Fort Worth and Arlington. A car service by the hour from US$95 an hour in a business sedan (3-hour minimum) keeps one chauffeur and vehicle with you across the Metroplex, and a Full-day chauffeur is US$700 in a business sedan.
The Stockyards
The Fort Worth Stockyards are the reason many visitors come. The Stockyards district runs the Fort Worth Herd's cattle drive daily at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., billed as America's only twice-daily cattle drive, and the Stockyards Championship Rodeo in the historic Cowtown Coliseum on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday matinees. Billy Bob's Texas books live country concerts, and the PBR Stockyards Showcase runs on Thursday evenings.
Parking around Exchange Avenue fills early on weekends, and the district itself advises arriving early. A chauffeur solves that: drop-off at the door, a pickup time after the rodeo or concert, and no circling for a space. The Evening out & event night package, from US$475 in a business sedan to US$950 in an Executive Sprinter, keeps the car and chauffeur with your party for the evening. The chauffeur follows local rules on alcohol, and the vehicle is a ride rather than part of the party.
Dickies Arena, the Stock Show and the Cultural District
Dickies Arena, next to the Will Rogers Memorial Center campus, hosts concerts, sporting events, family shows and the rodeo performances of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Stock Show season brings exhibitors, families and rodeo crowds to the Will Rogers grounds for weeks at a time, so hotels fill and traffic on University Drive and Montgomery Street slows around show times. The desk books single cars and Sprinters through event transportation and concert transportation.
The same Cultural District is home to the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, a short drive from downtown. The Private city highlights tour, from US$380 in a business sedan, can combine the museums with Sundance Square and the Stockyards in one booking; see private city tours.
Game days in Arlington and Texas Motor Speedway
Fort Worth is a natural base for events in Arlington, between Fort Worth and Dallas, where AT&T Stadium hosts the Cowboys and Globe Life Field hosts the Rangers. North of the city, Texas Motor Speedway draws race-weekend crowds that jam I-35W. For all of these, a pre-arranged pickup point matters more than the drive itself; see sports event transportation.
Fort Worth, Dallas and the airport in one day
A common Fort Worth itinerary touches three places: a DFW arrival, meetings or a lunch in Dallas, and a hotel or dinner back in Fort Worth. Booked as separate rides, that is three pickups, three waits and three chances for something to slip. Booked as one hourly car, the same chauffeur and vehicle stay with you, your bags stay in the trunk and the desk tracks the whole day as one reservation.
As a rule of thumb, if the gaps between stops are short and the day has more than two legs, an hourly booking or a Full-day chauffeur is the cleaner option. If you have one airport run and then several days in one place, a fixed DFW transfer at US$220 in a business sedan, plus hourly time on the evening you go to the Stockyards or Dickies Arena, usually costs less. The desk will price both ways if you send the outline of your plans, and our guide to how much a limo or black car costs explains the difference between transfer and hourly pricing.
Corporate travel
The Corporate roadshow day, from US$855 in a business sedan to US$1,710 in an Executive Sprinter, covers a full schedule of meetings across Fort Worth and the Metroplex with one chauffeur, timed to your DFW departure. A corporate account brings monthly invoicing, traveller profiles and NDAs on request. See corporate car service for how the desk handles changes during the day.
Weddings, proms and celebrations
Fort Worth weddings often combine a downtown or Stockyards hotel with a ranch or barn venue outside the city, and timings slip on long country roads. The desk books wedding limousines for the couple and Sprinters for guests, and prom limousines with fixed pickups and a parent contact. For a group of friends heading to Billy Bob's or West 7th, a Sprinter van with driver keeps everyone together.
How booking works
- Enter the pickup and drop-off; for DFW pickups, add the flight number so the chauffeur can track the landing.

- Press Reserve now to pay, or use the web booker for any address not on the price list. Confirmation arrives by email.
Cancellation: free more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less; 50% at 48 hours or less; 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show, refunded to the original card. See the cancellation policy.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a car service from DFW to downtown Fort Worth?
A fixed Elly8.net business sedan from DFW to downtown Fort Worth is US$220 all-in, a business SUV US$290, a First Class SUV US$355, a First Class sedan US$385 and an Executive Sprinter US$575. The price includes the chauffeur, vehicle, taxes, a standard gratuity and meet and greet. Tolls and parking are billed at cost, and a round trip starts at US$420.
How long is the drive from DFW to Fort Worth?
About 24 miles (39 km), roughly 33 minutes on a clear road to downtown. Allow more at the evening peak, during highway construction or on Stock Show and big event days. The price is fixed, so a slower drive does not change what you pay; only tolls and parking are added at cost.
Is TEXRail a good alternative to a car service?
For one traveller with light luggage going downtown, yes. TEXRail runs from DFW Terminal B to downtown Fort Worth, and Trinity Metro lists a US$2 local single ride and a US$9 regional day pass. A chauffeur is the better choice for families, groups, late arrivals, other terminals or hotels away from the rail line.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at DFW?
Inside arrivals, with a name board, at the terminal where you land. The chauffeur tracks your flight number and adjusts to the actual landing, and complimentary waiting after a tracked landing is included. After an international flight, the chauffeur waits at the arrivals exit after Customs. Curbside pickup is available on request.
Can you take us to the Stockyards for the cattle drive or the rodeo?
Yes. Book an hourly car from US$95 an hour (3-hour minimum) or an Evening out & event night from US$475, and the chauffeur drops you at the door and returns at an agreed time. The cattle drive runs daily at 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.; the rodeo is on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Are child seats available?
Yes, on request. Give the number of seats and the children's ages when you book, and they are fitted before pickup. That makes a DFW arrival with young children much easier than fitting seats at the curb after a flight.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less; 50% at 48 hours or less; 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show. Refunds go back to the original card. Contact the 24/7 desk as early as possible for changes of time or address.
Do you offer corporate accounts?
Yes. A corporate account includes monthly invoicing, saved traveller profiles, booking by assistants and NDAs on request. The Corporate roadshow day starts at US$855 in a business sedan. Apply on the corporate accounts page.
