Dallas Love Field Airport Parking (DAL)

 

Flying out of Dallas Love Field? Finding a convenient place to leave your car doesn’t have to be the stressful part of the trip. OneStopParking lets you compare and reserve parking near Dallas Love Field Airport before you leave home, so you know where you’re going, what you’re paying and how you’ll get to the terminal.

Dallas Love Field (DAL) is located in the heart of Dallas, about seven miles from downtown. Unlike the much larger Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Love Field has a compact passenger terminal, making it relatively easy to navigate once you arrive. If your ticket says DAL, you’re flying from Dallas Love Field—not DFW—so be sure to choose parking specifically near Love Field.

Use the parking options above to compare current rates, distance from DAL, customer reviews, shuttle information and other location details for your travel dates.

Parking Near Dallas Love Field vs. Parking at the Airport

Dallas Love Field has three official parking garages adjacent to the terminal, along with airport valet parking. For travelers leaving a vehicle for several days, however, it can make sense to compare nearby off-airport parking before automatically driving into an airport garage.

Parking locations near DAL can offer an alternative for longer trips while still providing transportation to and from the airport. With OneStopParking, you can see the important details before you reserve—including the location, shuttle schedule, parking instructions and verified customer reviews where available.

That makes it easier to compare the total parking experience, rather than simply choosing whichever garage or lot you encounter first when you reach the airport.

 

What to Know Before Parking at Dallas Love Field

 

Make sure you're heading to DAL, not DFW

Dallas has two major commercial airports, and they are not interchangeable. Dallas Love Field uses the airport code DAL, while Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport uses DFW.

Love Field is located at 8008 Herb Kelleher Way in Dallas, close to Mockingbird Lane and with convenient access from I-35E, the Dallas North Tollway and US-75. If you're using navigation to reach your parking facility, use the address provided in your OneStopParking reservation rather than navigating directly to the airport.

Give yourself time for parking and the shuttle

Your airport arrival time should include more than the drive to DAL. If you're using an off-airport parking facility, allow time to:

• find and enter the parking location;

• complete any required check-in;

• park your vehicle;

• load your luggage;

• wait for or request the shuttle; and

• travel from the parking facility to the terminal.

Dallas Love Field recommends arriving at least 90 minutes before your scheduled departure under normal conditions, while airlines may recommend additional time. Build your parking and shuttle time on top of the amount of time you want available inside the airport.

During holidays, busy weekends and early-morning departure periods, giving yourself some extra margin is a much better way to start the trip.

 

Dallas Love Field Is One of the Easier Dallas Airports to Navigate

One advantage of flying from Love Field is its relatively compact layout. DAL operates from a centralized passenger terminal with 20 gates, so you don't have the long inter-terminal transfers associated with much larger airports.

Southwest Airlines has a particularly large presence at Love Field, and Delta also operates from DAL. Once your parking shuttle drops you at the terminal, ticketing, security and the concourse are all part of the same main passenger complex.

For travelers driving in from Dallas, Love Field's location is also convenient: the airport sits roughly seven miles from downtown Dallas near Mockingbird Lane.

 

Returning to Your Car After Your Flight

Before leaving your parking facility on departure day, take a moment to review the return instructions included with your reservation.

Depending on the parking provider, you may need to call after collecting your luggage, proceed to a specific shuttle pickup area, or follow another set of pickup instructions. Dallas Love Field has designated areas for shuttles and other ground transportation, so knowing your provider's instructions before you land can save unnecessary walking or waiting.

Keep your reservation confirmation accessible on your phone throughout your trip. It contains the parking location's address and the details you'll need when you return.

 

Choosing the Right DAL Parking Option

The cheapest Dallas Love Field parking option isn't necessarily the best choice for every trip. Consider the whole experience when comparing parking:

Price for your complete stay
Enter your actual arrival and return dates to compare what you'll pay for the entire trip.

Distance from Love Field
A nearby facility can reduce the amount of time spent traveling between your car and the airport.

Shuttle hours
This is especially important for very early departures and late arrivals. Don't assume every shuttle operates around the clock.

Customer reviews
Verified parking reviews can give you useful insight into the condition of the lot, customer service, ease of finding the location and shuttle experience.

Arrival and return instructions
Check these before you book, and review them again before leaving for the airport.

Cancellation terms
Plans change. The cancellation and refund policy applicable to your rate is shown during booking, so review it before completing your reservation.

Short-Term or Long-Term Parking at Dallas Love Field

You can use OneStopParking for both short trips and longer stays near DAL. For a quick weekend away, compare the full trip price rather than focusing only on the advertised daily rate. For a week or longer, even a modest difference in the daily cost of parking can become significant.

Long-term travelers should pay particular attention to shuttle operating hours and return instructions. Your outbound flight may depart during normal hours while your return flight lands late at night, so make sure the parking option works for both ends of your trip.
