Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Bus Pickups & Dropoffs in Dallas

Are permits required for event days?

In most cases, charter buses do not need special city-issued permits to operate during event days in Dallas. However, each venue manages its own parking and traffic rules. Bus drivers should follow event staff directions and pay for parking upon arrival, since advanced reservations are often not available. Some venues may require prior coordination or registration for oversized vehicles, especially during large or sold-out events.

Please note: You are responsible for all parking, tolls, and lodging fees associated with a charter bus rental in Dallas.

Which streets close pre-/ post-events?

  • AT&T Stadium / Globe Life Field (Arlington): Portions of Division Street, Collins Street, and Cowboys Way close before and after events. Police direct charter bus and rideshare traffic around the closure zones.
  • American Airlines Center: Expect temporary closures on Victory Avenue, and North Houston Street roughly one hour before and after events. The Dallas Police Department controls intersections for pedestrian safety.
  • Cotton Bowl / Fair Park: During major events, Main Street and Parry Ave around Fair Park close to through-traffic. Alternate entry is usually available from Haskell Ave or Pennsylvania Ave.

How early should we arrive before an event?

Plan to arrive at least 60–90 minutes early for major events, especially at AT&T Stadium or the Cotton Bowl, where pre-event traffic can be significant. Your driver will manage staging while you head inside stress-free.
