Sabbath-Aware Scheduling
Much of Keene slows down from Friday evening to Saturday evening. We run every day, so a Friday-afternoon DFW pickup can get visitors settled early, and a Saturday-night departure after sundown is just as easy to book.

Black Car Service for
Keene, TX
QTS Black Car & Limo takes Keene residents, students and campus visitors to DFW International in about 55 to 65 minutes and to downtown Fort Worth in 35 to 45, with a named chauffeur and a set price. Call (945) 212-1412 or book online.
Keene grew up around Southwestern Adventist University, which opened in 1893 as Keene Industrial Academy, and the campus still sets the rhythm of town. Many local stores close on Saturdays for the Sabbath. Most of our Keene trips are families visiting students, faculty travel and early airport runs.

A College Town With Its Own Calendar
Keene is small, but the university brings a steady flow of visitors: parents at move-in and commencement, guest lecturers, recruiters and church groups. Its weekly rhythm differs from most towns nearby, and the bookings we take here follow the academic year more closely than the commuter rush.
Move-In and Commencement
Families fly in for move-in week, parents’ weekends and graduation, often with luggage and dorm boxes. A Suburban or Sprinter handles the airport run and the campus drop, and the chauffeur can come back for the return trip.
Faculty and Guest Speakers
Visiting lecturers, accreditation teams and conference guests need dependable rides between the airport, a Cleburne or Fort Worth hotel and campus. We arrange each leg in advance and can bill the department directly.
Airport Runs Between Keene and DFW
DFW is usually 55 to 65 minutes from Keene, east to I-35W at Alvarado and north through Fort Worth or Arlington. Love Field takes about the same time by US-67 into Dallas. For private flights, Fort Worth Spinks is 25 to 30 minutes north and Cleburne Regional is closer still.
Which way is fastest from Keene to DFW?
Most days we go east to Alvarado, north on I-35W to I-20, then up SH-360 to the airport’s south entrance. When I-35W is slow through south Fort Worth, the Chisholm Trail Parkway from Cleburne can be quicker. Dispatch checks before every pickup.
Can you meet students flying home for the holidays?
Yes. Send us the flight number and the residence hall, and the chauffeur meets the student outside baggage claim at their DFW terminal, or in Love Field’s Garage C pickup area, then drives them straight to campus. Parents can book and pay for the ride from anywhere.
Keene Distances and Drive Times
Times here are measured from the university campus with light traffic. I-35W through south Fort Worth is the variable that matters most on weekdays, so the pickup time we put on your confirmation is set for the actual day and hour you travel, not for the table.

Group Travel for Campus and Church Trips
University clubs, music groups and church groups from Keene often travel together, whether to DFW for a mission trip or to an event across the Metroplex. A Sprinter or shuttle seats up to fourteen with luggage, and minibuses and coaches carry larger groups on a single booking.
For a group flight, we stage the vehicle at campus or the church, load the bags and deliver everyone to the same terminal together. On the return, the chauffeur watches the flight and is waiting when the group lands, even if it is late at night.
Evenings in Fort Worth and Arlington
Bass Performance Hall and Ariat Arena (formerly Dickies Arena) are about 35 to 45 minutes from Keene, and AT&T Stadium in Arlington is 40 to 50. A chauffeured evening means no hunting for downtown parking and no long drive home after a late concert or game.
Your chauffeur drops you at the entrance, waits through the show and is staged when it ends. Executive SUVs can usually get close to the door; stretch limousines and party buses may meet you at a nearby legal pickup spot, which dispatch confirms when you book.
Keene Coverage Area
We serve the whole of Keene, including the Southwestern Adventist University campus, residential streets around it and rural addresses along FM 2280 toward Cleburne. Cleburne, Joshua, Alvarado and Burleson have their own pages, and the Johnson County hub covers the remaining towns in the county.

Keene Chauffeur FAQ
Here are the questions Keene families, students and university staff ask us most, from drive times to DFW and Love Field to Saturday service, commencement weekend, campus visitors and group trips. If yours is not covered, call dispatch at any hour and a person will answer.
How long is the drive from Keene to DFW Airport?
Usually 55 to 65 minutes, by I-35W from Alvarado and SH-360 to the south entrance. Weekday mornings through south Fort Worth can add time, and your confirmed pickup time allows for it.
Can you take me from Keene to Love Field instead?
Yes. Love Field is about 55 to 65 minutes from Keene, usually by US-67 into Dallas. It is about as far as DFW, so pick the airport with the better flight.
Do you run on Saturdays in Keene?
Yes. Many Keene businesses close on Saturday for the Sabbath, but we operate every day. You can book a Friday-afternoon pickup, a Saturday-evening departure after sundown, or any other time.
Can you pick up a Southwestern Adventist student at the airport?
Yes. Give us the flight number and the residence hall. We track the flight, meet the student when they land, and drive them to campus. Parents can book and pay from out of state.
Do you handle commencement weekend transportation?
Yes. Families often book an airport pickup, rides to the ceremony and dinner, and the trip back to the airport as one reservation. Commencement weekends fill early, so book as soon as you have your flights.
Can the university book a car for a visiting speaker?
Yes. Departments can book airport pickups, hotel transfers and campus drop-offs for guests and receive a single invoice. We send the chauffeur’s name and contact details ahead of time.
How far is downtown Fort Worth from Keene?
About 30 miles, usually 35 to 45 minutes. We use I-35W or the Chisholm Trail Parkway from Cleburne, depending on traffic.
Do you provide group shuttles for church or campus trips?
Yes. Sprinters and shuttles carry up to fourteen with luggage, and minibuses and coaches handle larger groups. One booking can cover the trip to the airport and the return.
Is there a private airport near Keene?
Yes, two. Cleburne Regional is about 15 minutes away and Fort Worth Spinks about 25 to 30. We work directly with the FBO at either field on where the car waits.
Which vehicle fits a family moving a student into the dorms?
An executive SUV takes up to six with a fair amount of luggage. If there are boxes and furniture as well, a Mercedes Sprinter gives much more room.
