Which garage to pick

All three garages sit next to the terminal. Head north on Herb Kelleher Way. The entrances to Garages A and B are on the lower level of the roadway, to the left. For Garage C, angle right at the Aviation Place stoplight and keep going north.

The skybridge from Garages A and B to the terminal is on level three. Garage C's skybridge bypasses the ticketing wing, which suits you if you have no bags to check and no paper boarding pass to print. Garage A is the priciest of the three standard garages, and the uncovered roof of Garage B is the cheapest listed spot.

Free time and how you pay

Garages A and B are free for the first 30 minutes. Garage C is free for the first 59 minutes on levels 1 and 2 and levels 4 through 7. All spaces are first-come, first-served, and the airport says no advance reservation is required for valet. The airport lists no reservation option for the garages.

You can pay with an NTTA TollTag, or with cash or credit when you exit or at a Skidata kiosk near the garage entrances. Parking is limited to 60 days.

Valet

Contactless valet costs $35 a day and connects to the ticketing hall. It is on the south end of the ticketing wing. Valet service is available 24/7. Attendants can be reached at 469-484-7722. The airport says valet offers vehicle services during your stay but lists neither the services nor their prices.

Height limits

Garages A and B: 8 feet 2 inches at ground level and 6 feet 10 inches on upper levels. Garage C: 8 feet 2 inches at the entrance and 7 feet 0 inches in the basement. A tall SUV or a roof box can be a problem on the upper levels, so measure before you park.

Cell phone waiting lot

The Main Cell Phone Waiting Lot is free. It is on the northeast corner of Hawes and Herb Kelleher. Driving north on Herb Kelleher Way, turn right on Edwards, right on Aubrey, and the next right is the entrance. More spots are north of the Spirit of Flight Plaza off Contrail Lane.

The limit is 60 minutes. Unattended and commercial vehicles are not allowed, and rideshare vehicles may not stage there. If you want to park and walk in, use a garage.

Drop-off and rideshare

Drop-off and curbside check-in are on the upper roadway in front of Ticketing and Check-In on Herb Kelleher Way. Rideshare pickup is in the lot next to the valet pavilion, beside Garage C, and the airport calls it the only approved area for app-based rides (Alto excepted).

Rideshare, taxi, peer to peer (Turo) and limousine pickup is at the valet pavilion and Garage C Level 1, per the airport's ground transportation page. Passengers who need an accessible ride can be picked up at the lower-level curb. Shared ride shuttles (Empire Shuttle, Aries Shuttle, Sky Hop) use the lower-level curb on Herb Kelleher Way, and some require reservations. Baggage carts for rent are on level 3 of the garages.

Accessible and veterans parking

The airport says there are designated accessible spaces in all three garages. You need a disabled person license plate or a disabled parking placard showing the International Symbol of Access.

Vehicles with Disabled Veteran plates from any U.S. state, or certain Texas Meritorious Military Honor plates, park free in the garages. Valet and premium parking are not included. The stay limit is 60 days, plates must be mounted, and you pull a ticket on entry and show your credentials at the cash lane on exit. If you have an NTTA TollTag, remove Love Field from the account at least 48 hours before arrival. Questions go to AVIParking@dallas.gov.

Winter weather and repairs

In severe winter weather, the roof level of Garages A, B and C is typically closed because of ice. Lower levels stay open first-come, first-served. The airport also has a repair project for Garages A and B (water infiltration and new traffic coatings on the top levels). Its project page is undated and says repairs were expected to start in late July, so check it for roof closures before you go.

Electric vehicle charging and shuttles

The airport's parking pages list no electric vehicle charging, so call 214-350-4881 or use a charging app before you go. (The public charging stations in the terminal are for phones and laptops.) There is no parking shuttle: the garages connect to the terminal by walkway and skybridge.
