Where to meet your ride at DFW

Terminal A: Blue Ride App signs between doors A15-A19, A24-A29, or near door A35.
Terminal B: Blue Ride App signs near door B9 or B25.
Terminal C: Level 1 curb; Ride App zones around C10-12, C20-24 or C30-37.
Terminal D: Choose the upper (departures) or lower (arrivals) curb in the app; on the arrivals level the Ride App signs are along the outer curb.
Terminal E: Blue Ride App signs at the curb point selected in the app.
Dropoff: Curbside at the terminal you name when booking, in the normal departures/ticketing drop-off area (per Uber).
Taxis: Taxi stands are on the lower level of Terminals A-E, staffed 8 a.m. to midnight (after midnight call 972-973-4061). No flat fare is listed on the airport page.
Self-driving rides: None as of October 2026. Waymo opened to all riders in Dallas in August 2026, but DFW is not on Waymo's list of airports served.
Train or bus: DART's Orange Line leaves from Terminal A for downtown Dallas; the DART Silver Line and TEXRail to downtown Fort Worth use Terminal B. Fares are not shown on the airport page.

Each terminal has several Ride App zones, so match the door number in the app before walking.
At Terminal D you can pick the upper or lower curb; choose whichever looks less crowded.
Friends driving in pay an airport toll: since Oct 1, 2026 an 8-30 minute drop-off is $1 with TollTag or $3 by card.
