How long is the drive from San Antonio to Dallas?

I’ve got a family reunion next month in Dallas, and I don’t want to show up late! How long is the drive from San Antonio to Dallas?

Family reunions are such a fun way to spend time and catch up with family you rarely get to see. However, you’ll most likely want to stay overnight in Dallas because it’s a 4.5-hour drive to reach
Dallas
from
San Antonio
by car.
To avoid spending more time in your car than you have to, be sure to do the following:
  • Leave between peak traffic hours—avoiding the morning and evening commutes in both cities should keep you moving and lower your chances of being stuck in a
    traffic jam
  • Plan your stops—knowing where you intend to get gas or eat will allow you to cover a lot of miles with far less stress
  • Know your route—is there any construction,
    major accidents
    , or detours between you and your destination that may slow you down?
It’s impossible to be completely prepared for everything you may encounter while behind the wheel, but these tips should help you keep your travel time to a minimum. If you want to take your preparation even further, though, you can always use the
