DFW Long-Term Parking Map: Lots, Rates & Shuttle Guide 2026

Quick answer

The DFW long-term parking map shows all on-airport and off-airport lots by terminal location and shuttle coverage. Remote Parking ($14/day) and Express Parking ($20 to $23/day) are the on-airport options with free shuttles; these are NTTA TollTag drive-up rates, and card rates are a little higher. Off-airport, Triply sells three lots near DFW: Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn at about $5/day, and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth at about $8/day. Off-airport rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. Access the official DFW Airport map online or printed maps at parking entry booths.

The DFW long-term parking map is a spatial layout of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's on-airport and off-airport lots, showing where each facility sits, which terminals it serves, and how shuttles connect them. Remote North serves Terminals B, C, and D. Remote South serves Terminals A and E. Express Parking serves all terminals via free shuttle. The three off-airport lots Triply sells, Clarion Inn & Suites North, Red Roof Inn and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth, are hotel lots in Irving, listed 1.8 to 2.3 miles from the airport, with rates from about $5/day compared to $14/day for on-airport Remote Parking.

• Remote Parking is the cheapest on-airport option at $14/day max ($16 by card), with a free shuttle every 15–20 minutes, 24/7.
• Express Parking costs $20/day uncovered or $23/day covered (TollTag drive-up; $22 and $25 by card), a big step up from Remote.
• Off-airport lots on Triply run about $5 to $8/day, roughly 40% to 68% less than the drive-up Remote rate.
• Prebooking can save up to 50% off TollTag rates, per the official DFW Airport parking page.
• The airport has 40,000+ parking spaces across all facilities, but long-term spots fill fast around major holidays.
• DFW's $12+ billion expansion is active in 2026. No parking closures are expected, but some roadway detours are possible near Terminal C.

What Is the DFW Long-Term Parking Map and How Do You Read It?

The DFW long-term parking map is a visual tool that shows every parking facility at and around Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, grouped by location, terminal proximity, and shuttle coverage. You can access the official DFW Airport map online or look for printed maps at the parking entry booths.

Here's how to orient yourself when reading it:

• International Parkway is the main road running through the center of the airport, north to south. It divides the North and South lots.
• Terminals A, B, C, D, and E are arranged in a horseshoe shape along both sides of International Parkway.
• Terminal Garages sit directly attached to each terminal building.
• Express and Remote lots are positioned outside the terminal loop — farther from the terminals but well-connected by free shuttles.
• Off-airport lots are not shown on the DFW map — they appear on tools like Google Maps or the Triply search tool.

The most important thing first-time visitors miss: Remote North and Remote South are separate lots that serve different terminals. Parking in the wrong one means a longer shuttle ride. Always check your terminal before you pull in.

Where Are the Long-Term Parking Lots at DFW Airport?

DFW has several distinct long-term parking areas, each serving specific terminals. Here's a quick-reference breakdown of every facility's location and which terminals it covers.

Which Terminal Are You Flying From?

Your terminal determines which on-airport lot makes the most sense. Terminal A and B handle American Airlines and American Eagle. Terminal C is also American Airlines. Terminal D covers international carriers — Air France, British Airways, Emirates, Lufthansa, Qantas, Qatar Airways, and more. Terminal E handles Delta, United, JetBlue, Spirit, Alaska, and Frontier.

Flying out of Terminal D or Terminal E? Remote South serves Terminal E. Remote North covers Terminals B, C, and D. Double-check before you park — pulling into the wrong lot adds shuttle time on your way to the gate.

How Much Does Long-Term Parking at DFW Cost? (Rates by Lot Type)

On-airport Remote Parking costs $14/day (TollTag drive-up; $16 by card), the lowest rate DFW offers for long stays. Express Parking runs $20/day uncovered or $23/day covered. Terminal Garages max at $37/day and aren't built for long-term use. The off-airport lots Triply sells undercut all of these: about $5/day at Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn, and about $8/day at The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth.

Here's what a 7-day trip looks like across the main options (airport rates checked on dfwairport.com in October 2026):

• Remote Parking (on-airport): $14/day × 7 = $98 total ($112 by card)
• Express Parking (on-airport): $140 total uncovered, $161 total covered
• Clarion Inn & Suites North: about $32 total
• Red Roof Inn: about $35 total
• The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth: about $59 total
• Terminal Garage (not recommended for long stays): $37/day × 7 = $259 total ($280 by card)

Prebooking through the official DFW Airport parking page saves up to 50% off TollTag rates on airport lots, with no booking, change or cancellation fees. Check the prebooked price there against the drive-up rates above. For a full rate breakdown by trip length, see the Dallas airport long-term parking cost guide, which covers 3-, 5-, 7-, and 14-day projections for every lot type.

How Do Shuttles Work from DFW Long-Term Parking to the Terminals?

Every on-airport long-term lot includes a free shuttle to the terminals. Remote lot shuttles run every 15–20 minutes, 24/7. Express lot shuttles are on-demand and also run 24/7 — you don't wait at a fixed stop. Off-airport shuttles vary by lot.

On-Airport Shuttle Details

• Remote North: Shuttle stops are inside the lot. Board and ride to Terminals B, C, or D. Free, every 15–20 minutes, around the clock.
• Remote South: Same setup — connects to Terminals A and E. Free, every 15–20 minutes, 24/7.
• Express North and South: On-demand service. Flag down the shuttle at your aisle. Goes to all five terminals. Free, 24/7.
• Real-time tracker: DFW offers a live Remote shuttle tracker so you can see when the next bus arrives.

Off-Airport Shuttle Details

• Clarion Inn & Suites North: Free shuttle with every online purchase, 24/7, to the airport every 40 minutes starting five minutes past the hour. Call the hotel 2 hours before departure. Airport pickups are on demand: call 972-929-8888 once you have your luggage.
• Red Roof Inn: Free shuttle with every online reservation, 3:30 AM to 1:00 AM, every 40 minutes starting on the half-hour. There is no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM. Airport pickups are on demand (call 972-929-0020); waits can be 25 to 30 minutes. Arrive 30 minutes before you want to leave for front-desk check-in.
• The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth: Complimentary shuttle with online purchase, 24/7, every hour on the hour. Check in at the front desk on arrival. Airport pickups are on demand: call the front desk at 972-929-4500 after you collect your luggage.

Travelers with early-morning or late-night flights should pay close attention to shuttle hours. Red Roof Inn has no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM, so plan around that for very early departures. Clarion Inn & Suites North and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth run shuttles around the clock.

On-Airport vs. Off-Airport Long-Term Parking at DFW: Which Is Cheaper?

All three off-airport lots Triply sells cost less per day than the $14 drive-up Remote rate. But cheaper isn't always better: shuttle hours, check-in steps and how far you are from the airport all factor in. The airport also says prebooking saves up to 50% off TollTag rates, so compare before you book.

• Cheapest overall: Clarion Inn & Suites North at about $5/day, the closest of the three at 1.8 miles, and about $66 less than drive-up Remote Parking over 7 days
• Also about $5/day: Red Roof Inn, 2.3 miles out, with no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM
• Best 24/7 shuttle with an on-site front desk: The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth at about $8/day, with a complimentary shuttle every hour and a 3-day minimum booking
• Best on-airport value: Remote Parking at $14/day drive-up, with a free real-time shuttle tracker

One factor many travelers overlook: Texas summers are brutal. A car sitting uncovered in Dallas heat for 7–10 days can come back with a scorching interior and stressed battery. Covered Express parking costs a bit more ($23/day vs $20 uncovered) but protects your vehicle. None of the three off-airport lots Triply sells lists covered parking.

How to Prebook DFW Long-Term Parking and Save Up to 50%

Prebooking your spot guarantees availability, which matters most during summer travel season and major holidays. At the airport, prebooking saves up to 50% off TollTag rates. Triply lots are booked ahead online, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

1. Choose your lot. Match it to your terminal using the table above. Remote North for Terminals B, C, D. Remote South for Terminals A, E.
2. Enter your travel dates. Use the DFW Airport parking portal for on-airport lots, or Triply to book Clarion Inn & Suites North, Red Roof Inn or The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth.
3. Compare prebooked vs. drive-up. The airport says prebooking saves up to 50% off TollTag rates, so check the prebooked price against the $14/day drive-up Remote rate, and against off-airport lots from about $5/day.
4. Save your confirmation. Most lots require a QR code or confirmation number at entry. Screenshot it or download it in the app before you lose signal in a parking structure.
5. Arrive early anyway. Even with a reservation, shuttle wait times add 15–30 minutes to your airport arrival time. Factor that into your departure.

Payment at DFW airport lots, including Express, Remote and the terminal garages, requires a major credit card or an NTTA TollTag. DFW lots do not accept cash. For current promo codes and discount strategies, the DFW airport parking deals guide has verified codes updated for 2026.

DFW Long-Term Parking Tips for Busy Travel Seasons

DFW handles tens of millions of passengers each year. During peak travel windows — Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, and summer — long-term lots fill days in advance. Here's how to stay ahead of the crowd.

Book Early

Remote and Express lots can sell out of prebooked spaces 1–2 weeks before major holidays. Book at least 7 days out for Thanksgiving and Christmas travel. Booking ahead matters for off-airport lots too: Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn both showed limited availability when we checked.

Watch for Roadway Detours

DFW is in the middle of a $12+ billion expansion program — the largest in the airport's history. Terminal C renovations are active in 2026, and Terminal F construction continues toward a Phase 1 opening in May 2027. Roadway improvements across the campus mean some entry routes may have detours. Before you drive to the airport, check real-time traffic on Waze to catch any last-minute road changes around International Parkway or SH 114.

Account for TSA Time

Shuttle rides from long-term lots add 15–30 minutes to your pre-flight window. Combine that with TSA security lines — which are longest on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons — and you should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international departures. Enrolling in TSA PreCheck cuts security time significantly and gives you more buffer to wait for a shuttle without stress.

Use the Remote Shuttle Tracker

DFW's live shuttle tracker shows real-time bus locations for Remote North and Remote South. Pull it up on your phone after parking so you know exactly how long to wait at the stop. It beats standing outside in July heat for 20 minutes guessing when the bus comes.

Check EV Charging Before You Go

DFW offers EV charging stations in select on-airport parking areas. If you drive an electric vehicle, confirm charger availability in your chosen lot before your trip, since not all Remote or Express sections have charging access. None of the three off-airport lots Triply sells lists EV charging, so plan accordingly before a multi-day trip.

Oversized Vehicles

If you're driving a large truck, SUV, or van, check height clearances before heading into a covered Express lot or Terminal Garage. Remote lots are surface-level and open, making them the easiest option for tall or wide vehicles.

Is There a Maximum Stay Limit for DFW Long-Term Parking?

Yes. DFW enforces a 90-day maximum stay for vehicles in on-airport parking lots. Vehicles left beyond that limit may be subject to removal. If you're planning an extended trip beyond 90 days, check the maximum stay with any off-airport lot before you book.

Does DFW Long-Term Parking Have ADA Accessible Spaces?

Accessible parking is available in all terminal garages and Express/Remote lots. Follow ADA signage from the entry point. DFW Airport complies with all ADA accessibility requirements. If you need assistance beyond standard accessible parking, contact DFW parking directly at (972) 973-3112 or email finparkingrev@dfwairport.com.

Find the Best DFW Long-Term Parking Rate for Your Trip

The DFW long-term parking map comes down to a simple equation: how close do you need to be, and how much are you willing to pay? Remote Parking at $14/day drive-up is the best on-airport value for long trips. The off-airport lots Triply sells beat that drive-up rate: Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn at about $5/day and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth at about $8/day, which has a complimentary 24/7 shuttle every hour. Red Roof Inn has no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM, so check your flight times.

Booking ahead guarantees a spot, which is critical during peak travel weeks at one of the busiest airports in the country. Compare DFW off-airport parking and reserve your spot on Triply, with options from about $5/day and free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Compare DFW parking rates. Clarion Inn & Suites North at about $5/day costs about 88% less per day than the $37 drive-up terminal garage rate.
