Why is Frisco quoted differently from Keller?

Frisco is about 50 miles from Fort Worth and Keller about 15. Trips beyond roughly 30 miles may price differently because of mileage and travel time, while Keller sits comfortably inside the local range.

Can the bus pick up in one city and drop off in another?

Yes. Split drop-offs and multiple pickups are included within your hours. Most Fort Worth itineraries stay within two cities, typically a suburb pickup and a Fort Worth or Arlington destination.

My city is not on the list. What should I use?

Pick the closest listed city. Haslet and Roanoke groups can use Keller or Denton as a guide, Granbury groups can use Cleburne or Weatherford, and Colleyville or Trophy Club groups can use Southlake or Grapevine.

Vehicle & Travel

Distance Calculator

Know how many of your booked minutes the drive from your suburb to Fort Worth will take before you request hours.

Your reservation starts at the first pickup, not when the group reaches the Stockyards. A night that begins in Frisco spends close to an hour on the road before the first stop and another hour at the end, and that time comes out of the same block as the bars and the dinner. About 43% of Fort Worth pickups start outside the city's 761xx ZIP codes, so the drive is part of planning for nearly half the groups we serve.

How to use the distance calculator

1
Pick your pickup city
Choose the city where the first rider boards. If the group gathers at one house, use that town rather than where everyone lives.
2
Read miles and minutes
The card shows the distance and an average-traffic estimate to Fort Worth. Hurst is about 15 minutes; Frisco about 55.
3
Add a traffic buffer
Tack on 15 to 20 minutes for peak hours, Friday evenings, or Arlington game traffic, and more if your route passes AT&T Stadium on a Cowboys night.
4
Double it and add it to your block
The return trip costs the same minutes. Put the round-trip total into the Minimum Hours Checker as part of your opening hour and buffer.
5
Note the 30-mile line
If your city shows more than roughly 30 miles, expect the quote to account for mileage and travel time. Ask when you request it.

A bachelorette from Frisco headed to the Stockyards

Ten friends are leaving a house in Frisco on a Saturday for a Stockyards night: dinner on Exchange Avenue, Billy Bob's Texas, and a last stop in Sundance Square. The calculator shows 50 miles and about 55 minutes. With a Saturday-evening buffer that is close to 70 minutes out and 70 back, or more than two hours of a 4-hour block spent on the highway. The organizer requests 6 hours instead, notes that 50 miles is beyond the local range so the quote may reflect mileage, and chooses a 12-passenger limo sprinter since 73% of bachelorette groups are 14 or fewer. The night keeps all three stops.

Why this matters for a Fort Worth group

Select your city from the list of 20, which runs from Benbrook at 10 miles out to McKinney at 55, and the calculator shows the mileage and an estimated drive time to Fort Worth. The times are based on average traffic. Add 15 to 20 minutes for Friday evenings, game days, or the I-30 and I-35W rush, and double the result to account for the trip home. Aledo groups, the most common suburban pickup, typically book 5 hours for exactly this reason.

Distance also affects the quote itself. Trips beyond roughly 30 miles from Fort Worth may price differently because of mileage and travel time, so a pickup in Plano, McKinney, Frisco, Denton, or Cleburne will be quoted with that in mind. Closer cities such as Keller, Hurst, Mansfield, and Southlake fall inside the local range. Either way, the quote you receive is all-inclusive once it is issued.

Weatherford to West 7th is a real commute

Weatherford sits 28 miles west, about 35 minutes on I-20 and I-30 off-peak. Groups from Parker, Johnson, and Hood counties are only about 1% of pickups, so book early and let the drive count toward a 5-hour block.

Mid-Cities pickups are the shortest

Hurst, Bedford, and Euless are all 12 to 14 miles and under 20 minutes, which is why HEB-area groups can usually fit a 4-hour Saturday with three stops and a dinner.

North Dallas suburbs should think six hours

Plano, Frisco, and McKinney are 45 to 55 miles out. A Fort Worth night from there needs roughly two hours of driving in total, and a 6-hour block keeps the actual stops from shrinking to three.
