Pickup Guidance
Rideshare
The lot adjacent to the valet pavilion, next to Garage C, at the southeast end of the terminal — follow the terminal signs (the airport's interactive map gives walking directions). This is the only approved app-ride pickup area. Uber, Lyft and Wingz use it; Alto (Dallas-based) is the sole exception and picks up curbside. ADA/accessibility pickups remain on the lower-level curb when selected in-app.
Taxi
Valet pavilion / Garage C area, southeast end — taxis, peer-to-peer luxury vehicles and limousines share this pickup zone. Follow the terminal signs.
Shuttle
The free DART Love Link 5 shuttle connects the terminal to the Inwood/Love Field station. Rental-car shuttles run around the clock from the lower level to the off-terminal rental complex; hotel shuttles use the lower-level ground-transportation curb.
Transit
No rail directly at the terminal. Take the free DART Love Link 5 shuttle to Inwood/Love Field station (Green/Orange lines) for downtown Dallas and the wider DART network — the station is also on the Orange Line to DFW Airport.
Private Transfer
Pre-booked cars use the ground-transportation area; confirm the current staging point, since the rideshare/taxi zones were reorganised in 2025.

Local Tips
- Rideshare is at the valet pavilion / Garage C area (southeast end) now — if a guide says Garage B, it's out of date.
- Love Field is Southwest's home and is much closer to downtown than DFW — don't confuse the two airports; they're on opposite sides of the metro.
- Alto (a Dallas rideshare company) is the one app-based service still allowed to pick up curbside; everyone else uses the valet pavilion / Garage C area.
- There's no train at the terminal — the free DART Love Link 5 shuttle to Inwood/Love Field station is the rail connection.
- DART doesn't run all night; if you land late, rideshare or taxi is the realistic option.
Tarmyq local tip
Two things at DAL: rideshare is at the valet pavilion / Garage C area on the southeast end (ignore 'Garage B' guides), and it's Love Field, not DFW. They're different airports on opposite sides of the metro, so make sure your driver or shuttle knows which one.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Uber/Lyft pickup at Dallas Love Field (DAL)?
Follow the terminal signs to the southeast end — the lot adjacent to the valet pavilion, next to Garage C. That's the only approved app-ride pickup area, and it replaced the older Garage B location many guides still list. Alto is the one exception and picks up curbside; ADA pickups stay on the lower-level curb when selected in-app.
Is Love Field the same as DFW?
No. Dallas Love Field (DAL) is the smaller, close-in airport about six miles from downtown, dominated by Southwest. DFW is the much larger hub on the opposite side of the metro. They're separate airports — confirm which one your flight uses and tell your driver.
Is there a train from Love Field to downtown Dallas?
Not directly at the terminal. Take the free DART Love Link 5 shuttle to the Inwood/Love Field station, then the Green or Orange line into downtown. DART doesn't run all night, so for late arrivals a rideshare or taxi is more practical.
Where do taxis pick up at DAL?
Taxis, along with limos and peer-to-peer luxury vehicles, use the valet pavilion / Garage C area at the southeast end of the terminal — follow the ground-transportation signs from baggage claim.
