Getting to Dallas Airports: Ground Transportation

The Dallas–Fort Worth area is served by two separate commercial airports: Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL). Confirm the airport code on your ticket before choosing a route.

Public transportation to DFW

DART’s Orange Line serves DFW Airport Terminal A Station, while the DART Silver Line serves Terminal B. Trinity Metro TEXRail also serves the Terminal B area, connecting DFW with Grapevine and Fort Worth.

The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) connects Dallas and Fort Worth with CentrePort/DFW Airport Station. From there, the TRE LINK shuttle connects passengers with DFW Terminal D at the lower-level Gate D16 pickup point. Service days and schedules vary, so check the official DFW public transit guide and transport-provider schedules before travelling.

Public transportation to Dallas Love Field

DART’s Love Link bus connects the airport terminal with Inwood/Love Field Station, where passengers can transfer to DART’s Orange and Green rail lines. Check the official Love Field public transportation guide for pickup information and current schedules.

Rental cars

DFW operates a consolidated Rental Car Center connected to its terminals by airport shuttle buses. Love Field has its own rental-car counters and pickup arrangements. Confirm the exact pickup instructions with your provider and review our Dallas airport rental car guide.

Taxis and rideshare

Both airports have designated taxi and app-based rideshare pickup areas. Follow airport signs and your provider’s instructions. Pickup points may change during construction or traffic operations. See our Dallas airport taxi and rideshare guide.

Driving and passenger pickup

Both airports are accessible by road, but their entrances, terminal roads and pickup rules are different. Check the official airport directions before setting out and allow extra time for traffic, construction, parking and security.

Transportation schedules, pickup zones and service details can change. Verify time-sensitive information directly with the airport or transport provider before travelling.
