The distances
Most Amarillo trips are long ones
Amarillo is a long way from anywhere else, and the trips people book reflect it. Rick Husband Amarillo International (AMA) runs a limited schedule, so a lot of travel out of the Panhandle is a drive to a bigger airport — DFW for the most flights, Oklahoma City or Lubbock when those suit the itinerary better.
Those are not short transfers. Dallas/Fort Worth is over three hundred miles down US-287. That changes what a booking is: the vehicle choice is about sitting in it for hours, and the timing is about the flight at the far end rather than the drive.
From downtown Amarillo

Prices
What Amarillo car service costs
Long runs are priced on distance and vehicle, for the whole vehicle rather than per seat. On a trip of three hundred miles that is the point: a family or a team splitting one vehicle pays far less each than the same people buying separate tickets.
Group and event work — a team trip, a canyon day, a night out — is priced by the hour with a four-hour minimum instead.
| Route | Miles | Premium SUV | Executive SUV | Sprinter Executive | Motor Coach |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amarillo to Lubbock | 121.5 | $615 | $700 | $970 | $1,740 |
| Amarillo to Oklahoma City | 257.2 | $1,145 | $1,295 | $1,585 | $2,620 |
| Amarillo to Dallas (DFW) | 344.1 | $1,480 | $1,680 | $1,975 | $3,185 |
Airport
Rick Husband Amarillo International (AMA)
AMA sits on the east side of the city off I-40, a short run from downtown and the hotels along the interstate. It is a single-terminal airport, quick to get in and out of.
The limited schedule is the trade-off. When a connection slips at AMA there is often nothing else going the same way that day, which is exactly why so many trips start with a drive to DFW or Oklahoma City instead.
We track the inbound flight, so a delay moves the pickup rather than costing anything, and waiting is free for the first 60 minutes after the aircraft lands.
Fly from AMA or drive?
- AMA: close and quick, on a limited schedule.
- DFW: far more flights, over 300 miles away.
- For a tight connection, the drive is often the safer plan.
Around Amarillo
The canyon, Route 66 and the ballpark
The local work is mostly groups. Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the country, is south of the city through the town of Canyon. Cadillac Ranch, the row of half-buried cars west of town along the old Route 66 corridor, is a short run out on I-40. Hodgetown, the downtown ballpark, is a few blocks from the city center.
West Texas A&M University is in Canyon too, which is why school and athletics groups make up so much of the charter work here.
| Place | What it is | From downtown |
|---|---|---|
| Palo Duro Canyon State Park | The canyon and the summer TEXAS musical. | 29.7 mi to the rim entrance |
| West Texas A&M University | The university, in the town of Canyon. | 17.9 mi |
| Cadillac Ranch | Half-buried cars on the old Route 66 corridor. | 9.9 mi west on I-40 |
| Hodgetown | The downtown ballpark. | Downtown |
Groups
Teams, schools and canyon days
The charter work here is school and athletics groups traveling to games, visitors heading into the canyon for the day or for the summer musical, and ranch and industry groups moving between sites.
It is all hourly work with a four-hour minimum, because the vehicle is held for the day rather than making one journey. Charter bus rental in Amarillo covers the vehicles, the canyon's own rules and how a group day is arranged.
