Dallas Love Field Parking Rate Adjustments Effective October 18

DALLAS, TX - On October 18, 2024, daily parking garage rates at Dallas Love Field (DAL) airport will increase due to growing capacity constraints and operational expenses.

During Thanksgiving 2014, parking demand far exceeded supply, which led to the construction of Garage C, adding 5,000 spaces that opened in November 2018. DAL currently has approximately 12,000 parking spaces.

Over the last two years, DAL's departures have increased to nearly 9 million passengers annually, exceeding pre-pandemic numbers. With increased leisure travelers self-parking in garages and exhibiting longer parking dwell times, DAL and airports across the country have observed a much higher demand for parking. As such, the airport's garages continue reaching capacity, particularly during the holidays. Due to being landlocked and no current available space to build, another parking garage is not possible.

Since the COVID pandemic, the airport has increased daily parking rates only once in 2022, after implementing a decrease in 2018 when Garage C opened.

After evaluating rising contractor salaries, maintenance costs, and a comprehensive study considering the Dallas uptown/downtown parking rates and Texas airport rates, the adjusted daily rates at DAL will be the following:

  • Garage A - from $16 to $24 (all levels);
  • Garage B - from $10 to $18 (uncovered), from $13 to $21 (covered);
  • Garage C - from $13 to $20 (uncovered), from $16 to $21 (covered), and from $25 to $30 (premium level); and
  • Valet - from $28 to $35

Hourly parking rates will also adjust proportionately based on the new daily rates. The first hour in Garage C will continue to be FREE for passenger pickups, and Dallas Love Field's parking rates remain relatively the least expensive among Texas commercial airports. These rate changes will have no impact on the existing veterans parking program. For more information on parking options, please visit the DAL airport parking page.
