How many hours does it take to drive from Dallas to San Antonio?
I recently started college at SMU in Dallas (my dream school!) and I’m living in an apartment nearby. My boyfriend got into UT San Antonio—I’m planning to visit him over break. About how many hours will the drive from Dallas to San Antonio take?

First, congratulations on getting into your top choice—that’s awesome! If you’re looking to drive down to San Antonio over break, your drive should take about four hours and fifteen minutes, depending on a few factors.
Here are some things that’ll affect the drive time between Dallas and San Antonio:
- Traffic: If you leave Friday afternoon when the roads are getting busy, your drive time might push closer to five hours. If you head out Saturday morning, though, you could zip down to San Antonio in a little over four!
- Construction: The drive down I-35 is notorious for having road work, especially as you approach Austin. This could add fifteen or twenty minutes onto your drive.
- Which route you take: The fastest route is straight down I-35. If you have a friend at Texas A&M and want to swing by College Station on the way, the drive will take about five and a half hours.
Starting college, especially at a great school like SMU, can make a dent in your savings account. If you want to save some money and fight back against those student loans, we can help you find
