Uber and Lyft at DAL

What a ride costs from Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) to the places people go most in Dallas, around midday on a weekday.

Where to meet your ride at DAL

Uber and Lyft pickup: Follow the terminal signs to the valet pavilion and Garage C Level 1, where Uber, Lyft, Wingz, taxis and limos now meet riders. Alto is the exception and uses the lower-level curb.
Black and premium rides: Private luxury cars and limos share the valet pavilion / Garage C Level 1 area with other app rides; Alto picks up at the lower-level curb.
Dropoff: Upper-level curb beside the ticketing hall.
Taxis: Taxis load with the other for-hire cars at the valet pavilion / Garage C Level 1; accessible taxis are dispatched to the lower-level curb on request. No flat fare is listed.
Self-driving rides: None as of October 2026. Waymo's Dallas service opened to everyone in August 2026 but does not yet reach Love Field; Waymo says it is testing there.
Train or bus: DART's Love Link bus (Route 5) runs from the lower-level ground transportation area to Inwood/Love Field Station on the Green and Orange lines; it is free leaving the airport and $2.50 for a single ride coming back.

Need an accessible pickup? It stays on the lower-level curb: search 'Accessible' in Uber, or stand at that curb for the Lyft option to appear.
Love Link to the rail station costs nothing from the airport.
Drop-offs are upstairs at ticketing, but pickups are a walk away at the valet pavilion, so allow extra minutes.

Last checked October 11, 2026. Pickup areas move during construction, so follow the signs and the app on the day. Sources: web.archive.org, web.archive.org, dallascityhall.com, techcrunch.com. .
