USDDFW parking since Oct. 1: Remote $14 a day with a TollTag ($16 by card), Express $20 to $25, terminal garages $37 to $40, valet $55. Hotel lots on ParkingAccess for Nov. 6 to 13: Red Roof Inn $44.53 for 7 days, the Westin $72.27 for 8 days.
Last verified: October 22, 2026, on dfwairport.com, the airport's own website (rate tables effective October 1, prebooking rules and garage clearances from its parking FAQ), and in a ParkingAccess search for November 6 to 13 the same day.
Disclosure: ParkingAccess earns a commission and a booking fee on the hotel lots and packages booked here. It earns nothing from DFW's own parking or valet.
DFW Airport's cheapest drive-up parking is the Remote North and South lots: $14 for the 6-to-24-hour bracket if you pay with an NTTA TollTag, or $16 by card at the exit, with non-stop buses to every terminal. DFW's tables stop at 24 hours and print no rate for later days, so this page does not multiply them into trip totals. For November 6 to 13, Red Roof Inn, the cheaper of the two hotel lots ParkingAccess could book, was $44.53 for 7 days with taxes and fees, and the Westin $72.27 for 8 days. DFW's own prebooked parking, sold at dfwairport.com/park, can save up to 50% off drive-up prices, so price that too before you book.
- Cheapest at the airport: Remote North or South, $14 a day with a TollTag, $16 by card.
- Cheapest we found: Red Roof Inn near DFW, $44.53 for 7 days, November 6 to 13, with taxes and fees.
- Closest: the terminal garages, $37 with a TollTag or $40 by card per day, next to all five terminals.
- No cash: no DFW lot or valet takes cash.
- Free: two cell phone lots, up to two hours, for drivers picking someone up; DFW's directions page also points pickups to one-hour spaces in the terminal garages.
DFW Airport's own parking rates from October 1, 2026
DFW charges by the time you stay, and from 6 hours to 24 hours you pay the full daily rate. The 6-to-24-hour rates are lower with an NTTA TollTag than with a card at the exit (the shorter Remote and Express brackets are the same for both); without a TollTag, take a ticket in a "Ticket Only" lane.
| Option | Up to 2 hours | 6 to 24 hours, TollTag | 6 to 24 hours, card | Getting to your gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remote North or South | $3 | $14 | $16 | Non-stop bus to your terminal |
| Express North, uncovered (Express South is closed) | $4 | $20 | $22 | Shuttle from your car; 4 to 5 minute ride |
| Express North, covered | $4 | $23 | $25 | Same shuttle |
| Terminal garages A to E | $5 for 1 to 2 hours, TollTag | $37 | $40 | Next to your terminal |
| Valet | $55 a day | Meet valet at your terminal | ||
Parking at DFW is limited to 90 days; the airport tows vehicles left longer. The south section of the Terminal C garage has been closed for construction since September 14, 2024; its central and north sections are open. Express South has been closed for construction since September 2024, according to DFW's construction page, so Express means Express North. ADA spaces in the terminal garages are on Levels 1 and 3 for direct terminal access.

For November 6 to 13, two hotel lots were bookable on ParkingAccess: Red Roof Inn at $44.53 for 7 days and the Westin at $72.27, which counts these dates as 8 days. DFW's own tables stop at 24 hours, so the airport side of this comparison is the per-day rate in the table above.

Courtyard Marriott Dallas Airport and Clarion Inn & Suites North were sold out for these dates.
Prebooking DFW's own parking at dfwairport.com/park
DFW sells prebooked Remote, Express and terminal parking online and says it can save up to 50% off drive-up prices, with no booking, change or cancellation fees. The prebooking form asks which airline you fly, has a promo code box, and earns points in myDFW Rewards when you sign in. Through November 12, code EARLYBIRD takes an extra 10% off Terminal parking: book at least 7 days ahead, between October 19 and November 12, for travel between October 25 and November 19, which ends before Thanksgiving week. It applies to Terminal parking only.
- Window: book up to 10 months ahead, for stays of 6 hours to 45 days. DFW recommends starting the booking at least 3 hours before your flight and ending it 2 hours after you land.
- Cancelling: up to 1 hour before your booked arrival, for a full refund.
- Rules: no leaving and coming back on one reservation; a terminal-specific booking must park in that terminal's garage, or you pay extra; prebooking doesn't cover valet.
- Sold out online: DFW holds back spaces for drive-up customers, who pay drive-up rates.
- TollTag holders: DFW's FAQ says a TollTag cannot pay for prebooked parking; a prebooked stay is paid by card at booking.
Remote, Express and valet at DFW: how each reaches your gate
Remote North and South sit just before the airport's North and South entrances, at 2200 N. Airfield Drive and 2400 S. Airfield Drive, and their buses run non-stop to your terminal. Express North, at 1800 Express North Parking, picks you up at your car's trunk, with rides of 4 minutes to Terminals A and B and 5 minutes to C, D and E, not counting the wait.
- Late at night: between midnight and 5 a.m., Remote parkers call +1-972-973-3838 for a bus; between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., Express parkers call +1-972-574-7500.
- Coming home: Remote and Express drop-off and pick-up areas are on the lower level of each terminal.
- Valet: agents meet you on the Arrivals level (Level 3) of Terminals A, B, C and E, or at the Departures curb of Terminal D. Reserve at dfwvaletreservations.com or +1-972-574-2407; car wash and detailing are offered.
What DFW's terminal rate table charges for a drive-through and a drop-off
DFW's terminal-garage table lists $12 with a TollTag, or $15 by card, for 0 to 8 minutes, and $1 or $3 for 8 to 30 minutes. DFW's savings page labels the first row a passthrough on International Parkway and the second a drop-off, so the $12 or $15 is a charge for driving through, not for a quick stop inside a garage.
DFW's September 14, 2026 release says the 8-to-30-minute TollTag rate fell from $2 to $1. Method: rates from dfwairport.com's posted tables and its savings page, read October 22, 2026.
Does DFW have an overnight or long-term parking rate?
No. DFW's Remote, Express and Terminal pages show only time brackets, and an overnight stay falls in the top 6-to-24-hour bracket: Remote $14 or $16, Express uncovered $20 or $22, covered $23 or $25, terminal garages $37 or $40, valet $55 a day. There is no separate long-term lot, so Remote is the cheapest option for a long stay.
Drive-up parking is limited to 90 days and prebooked stays to 45 days. The cell phone lots do not allow overnight parking.
EV charging and what is changing at DFW
DFW's EV charging page lists Level II SemaConnect chargers on Level 3 at Terminals A (A10, A20, A35) and E (E16, E35), in one-hour parking areas, and complimentary charging by valet.
The Board approved a Remote South expansion on May 7, 2026 that adds about 1,500 spaces for a total of 3,600, with a second entrance and exit and an extra bus stop; the contract term is 420 calendar days from May 2026, so it is a future change, not a current rate fact (DFW Board document). DFW has posted no Thanksgiving 2026 parking advisory as of October 22; its 2025 advisory told travelers to add 60 to 90 minutes, book ahead and use the TollTag lanes.

Three rail services reach DFW's terminals. DART's Orange Line runs from Plano through downtown Dallas and Irving to Terminal A, and DART's Silver Line runs from Plano through Richardson, Addison, Carrollton and Coppell to Terminal B, bypassing downtown Dallas.

Picking someone up at DFW
DFW has two free cell phone lots, each free for up to two hours. The North lot, just before the North toll plaza, has 53 spaces; the South lot, at Rental Car Drive and Southgate Avenue, has about 60.
A driver must stay with the car the whole time, and overnight parking isn't allowed in either lot. DFW's directions page also points pickups to one-hour spaces on the first rows of Terminal Parking; DFW's 2025 holiday release called them no additional charge, and the 2026 tables list paid short-stay tiers, so check the sign.
Getting back to the terminal where you parked
If you land at a different DFW terminal from the one where you parked and have no checked bags, stay inside security and take the Skylink train. With checked bags, collect them first, then take the orange Terminal Link shuttle outside security.
