Off-airport parking at Dallas Love Field (DAL) is not something Triply sells. The three lots on Triply near Dallas are hotel lots in Irving that run shuttles to Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) only, so none of them is Love Field parking. Love Field is a compact, single-terminal airport dominated by Southwest Airlines, and this guide covers how to think about parking there. If you can fly from DFW instead, Triply lots start from about $5/day (rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date), while the airport's own drive-up rates at DFW start at $14/day.

  • Triply and Love Field: Triply does not sell any lot at DAL. The three lots we sell shuttle to DFW only.
  • If you can fly from DFW: Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn are about $5/day, and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth is about $8/day (3-day minimum), all with a free shuttle
  • Parking at Love Field: check the airport's official parking page for current on-airport rates and options
  • Shuttle hours matter: Clarion and The Westin run 24/7, but Red Roof has no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM
  • Free cancellation: bookings on Triply can be cancelled free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
  • Dallas heat and hail: none of the three DFW lots lists covered parking, so factor that in for summer trips

How Much Does Off-Airport Parking at Dallas Love Field Cost?

Triply does not sell parking at Love Field, so we can't quote an off-airport rate there. What we can price is the DFW alternative: the three lots Triply sells near Dallas run about $5 to $8/day. All three are hotel lots in Irving that shuttle to DFW, and none of them lists covered parking.

Here's how the DFW lots Triply sells compare on a week-long trip (about 7 days at the daily rate), with DFW's own drive-up rates (NTTA TollTag, effective 1 October 2026) for comparison. Airport parking is booked at dfwairport.com, not on Triply.

The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive Triply lot is about $27 over a week (about $32 at Clarion versus about $59 at The Westin). Against DFW's own drive-up TollTag rates, a week at Clarion is about 88% less than the $37/day terminal garage ($259 for 7 days) and about 68% less than Remote parking at $14/day ($98). The airport says prebooking at dfwairport.com saves up to 50% off TollTag rates, so prebooked airport prices can be lower than the drive-up figures here.

What Are the Best Off-Airport Parking Lots Near Dallas Love Field (DAL)?

Triply does not sell any lot at Love Field, so we can't recommend one by name. If you can fly from DFW, these are the three lots Triply sells near Dallas. Each is in Irving, north of DFW, and shuttles to DFW only.

Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn: about $5/day

Clarion Inn & Suites North (4770 Plaza Drive, Irving) is the cheapest lot Triply sells near DFW at about $5/day (about $32 for 7 days), and the closest of the three, listed 1.8 miles from the airport. A free shuttle comes with every online purchase, runs 24/7 and leaves for the airport every 40 minutes starting five minutes past the hour; call the hotel 2 hours before you want to depart. On return, call 972-929-8888 with your luggage in hand for an on-demand pickup. Bring your email confirmation, printed or on your phone. There is no extra charge for vans, pickup trucks or large SUVs, and no room is needed. No amenities are listed for this lot.

Red Roof Inn (8150 Esters Blvd, Irving) is also about $5/day (about $35 for 7 days), listed 2.3 miles from the airport. The free shuttle comes with every online reservation and runs 3:30 AM to 1:00 AM, every 40 minutes from the half-hour, with no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM. Pickups from the airport are on demand: call 972-929-0020 once you have your luggage, and expect waits of 25 to 30 minutes. Arrive at least 30 minutes before you want to leave for the airport to allow for front-desk check-in. There is no extra charge for vans, pickups or large SUVs.

The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth: about $8/day

The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth (4545 West John Carpenter Freeway, Irving) is about $8/day (about $59 for 7 days) and listed 2.2 miles from the airport. It is off-airport, so you take the shuttle; it is not within walking distance of a terminal. Bookings have a 3-day minimum, so it doesn't suit one or two day trips. The complimentary shuttle comes with your online purchase and runs 24/7, every hour on the hour, with on-demand pickups: call the front desk at 972-929-4500 after you collect your bag. Check in at the front desk on arrival for shuttle instructions. Listed amenities are security, a 24/7 front desk, a restaurant and wheelchair access. There is no extra charge for vans, pickups or large SUVs, and no room reservation is needed.

How the Three DFW Lots Compare

All three are hotel lots in Irving, north of DFW, sold for parking only (no room needed), and none lists covered parking or EV charging. The shuttle is free at all three, and all three offer on-demand pickups from the airport. Shuttle schedules differ, though: Clarion and The Westin run 24/7, while Red Roof has no shuttle from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM, so match the lot to your flight time. Bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

DFW parking daily rates compared: off-site lots bookable on Triply from about $5/day (Clarion Inn & Suites North) to $8/day (The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth); on-airport from $14/day (Remote (TollTag)) to $55/day (Valet).
DFW parking daily rates compared: off-site lots bookable on Triply from about $5/day (Clarion Inn & Suites North) to $8/day (The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth); on-airport from $14/day (Remote (TollTag)) to $55/day (Valet).

Is Off-Airport Parking at Love Field Cheaper Than On-Airport Garages?

We can't give a verified answer for Love Field itself. Triply does not sell parking there, and we haven't verified Love Field's own garage rates, so check the airport's official parking page for current prices. Love Field's Garage C is the primary on-airport parking structure. At DFW the comparison is clearer: Triply lots run about $5 to $8/day, against TollTag drive-up rates of $14/day at Remote up to $37/day at the terminal garages.

Here's a quick side-by-side breakdown:

  • On-airport (DAL Garage C): no shuttle needed, so you walk directly to the terminal, which suits short trips and pickups. Check the airport's site for current rates.
  • Off-airport near DAL: Triply sells none, so check any lot directly for price and shuttle hours
  • DFW on-airport (not sold on Triply): drive-up TollTag rates of $14/day at Remote, $20/day at Express uncovered and $37/day at the terminal garages
  • DFW lots on Triply: Clarion and Red Roof about $5/day, The Westin about $8/day, all with a free shuttle and listed 1.8 to 2.3 miles from the airport

For a short trip of one or two days at Love Field, the convenience of walking directly to the terminal from an on-airport garage may be worth the cost. If you are flying from DFW on a week-long trip, a week at Clarion is about $32 versus $259 in a DFW terminal garage at drive-up TollTag rates, about $227 less.

Dallas Love Field is a compact, single-terminal airport dominated by Southwest Airlines. Because of that focused traffic, parking demand spikes around holidays and peak Southwest sale periods. Booking ahead on Triply for a DFW lot holds the rate you booked, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

How Do Shuttles Work at Off-Airport DAL Parking Lots?

Triply does not sell parking at Love Field, so the shuttle details below cover the three DFW lots only. Each includes a free shuttle with an online booking, but the hours, frequency and pickup process differ between lots.

24/7 Shuttles: Clarion and The Westin

Clarion Inn & Suites North runs its shuttle to the airport every 40 minutes, starting five minutes past the hour, around the clock; call the hotel 2 hours before you leave. The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth runs 24/7, every hour on the hour. Pickups from the airport are on demand at both: with your luggage in hand, call Clarion at 972-929-8888 or The Westin front desk at 972-929-4500. Airlines suggest arriving at the airport 2 hours before your flight, so be at the lot before that window.

Red Roof Inn: No Shuttle Overnight

Red Roof Inn runs its shuttle every 40 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:00 AM (3:30, 4:10, 4:50, 5:30 and so on). There is no shuttle between 1:00 AM and 3:30 AM, so it doesn't suit a flight that needs you at the airport in those hours. Pickups from the airport are on demand: call 972-929-0020 once you have your luggage, with waits of 25 to 30 minutes depending on demand. Arrive at the lot at least 30 minutes before you want to leave for the airport, and confirm at check-in where to wait for the shuttle when you return.

Shuttle Time to the Terminal

Triply doesn't list shuttle ride times for these lots, only listed distances of 1.8 to 2.3 miles from DFW, so leave extra time. Airlines suggest arriving at the airport 2 hours before your flight, and you should be at the lot before that window. Security lines can be busy at peak times, so if you have TSA PreCheck, factor that in. Reviewing TSA PreCheck enrollment before your next trip is worthwhile if you haven't already.

What Is a Park Sleep Fly Package at Dallas Love Field and Is It Worth It?

A park-sleep-fly package combines a hotel night with parking during your trip. You stay near the airport the night before an early flight, catch the hotel shuttle to the terminal, and your car stays in the hotel lot until you return. Triply does not sell these packages at Love Field or anywhere else: its three DFW hotel lots are parking only, and no room is needed.

If you want a hotel night before an early flight, you would book the room separately, because Triply sells parking only. Clarion Inn & Suites North, Red Roof Inn and The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth are hotels, but the Triply booking covers the parking and the airport shuttle, not a room.

Is it worth it? Run the math yourself. A package adds a hotel night to your parking cost, while a Triply lot is parking only. For an early departure from DFW, a week at Clarion is about $32 and a week at The Westin is about $59, before any room. For more on hotel park-and-fly options near DFW, see the DFW Airport Hotels with Parking & Park-and-Fly Packages 2026 guide.

How to Book Off-Airport Parking at Dallas Love Field in Advance

You can't book Love Field parking on Triply. For the DFW lots, booking ahead holds the rate you booked, and it matters most around holidays and peak Southwest travel periods. Clarion and Red Roof showed limited availability on the dates we checked.

  1. Pick your airport: for Love Field, check the airport's official parking page. For DFW, use Triply's search at triplypro.com.
  2. Compare the three lots: Clarion Inn & Suites North and Red Roof Inn at about $5/day, The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth at about $8/day.
  3. Select your dates precisely: The Westin has a 3-day minimum, and Red Roof's shuttle doesn't run from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM, so match the lot to your flight times.
  4. Review the cancellation policy: bookings can be cancelled free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, but not online inside 24 hours.
  5. Save your confirmation: Clarion asks for your email confirmation, printed or on your phone, and Red Roof wants your booking confirmation ready at check-in.
  6. Check traffic before you leave: use the Waze live traffic map to look for delays on the route to your lot and the airport.

Tips for Saving Money on Dallas Love Field Airport Parking

Smart parking at DAL comes down to timing, coverage choices, and knowing which fees to watch for. Here are the most practical tips based on current rates and verified lot data.

  • Book early, especially around holidays. Southwest Airlines flies heavily out of Love Field, and Thanksgiving, spring break and summer peak weeks fill up fast. Booking ahead holds the rate you booked.
  • Match the shuttle to your flight. Clarion and The Westin run 24/7, but Red Roof's shuttle doesn't run from 1:00 AM to 3:30 AM.
  • Mind the minimum stay. The Westin Dallas-Fort Worth has a 3-day minimum, so for a one or two day trip choose Clarion or Red Roof at about $5/day.
  • Plan for summer. None of the three DFW lots lists covered parking, and Dallas summer heat and hail are real factors.
  • Use free cancellation. Bookings can be cancelled free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
  • ADA and accessible parking: The Westin lists wheelchair access. Clarion and Red Roof list no accessibility features, so ask the hotel before you book.

Reviewing TSA security screening guidelines before you fly also saves time at the checkpoint — fewer delays getting through security means your shuttle timing is less critical.

Is There EV Charging at Off-Airport Parking Lots Near DAL?

Triply sells no lot at Love Field, and none of the three DFW lots it sells lists EV charging. If you drive an electric vehicle, confirm with the lot before booking rather than assuming it is available.

For EV drivers, the safest approach is to arrive with a full charge. If you need to charge near Love Field before or after your trip, tools like ChargePoint's charging network can help you find nearby stations along your route to the airport. On-airport EV charging is available at DFW International, but that's a separate facility from Love Field.

Dallas Love Field Off-Airport Parking vs. On-Airport: Which Is Right for You?

The right choice depends on your trip length, flight time, and how much convenience matters to you. Here's a direct comparison to help you decide.

Choose On-Airport Parking at DAL If:

  • Your trip is 1–2 days and the extra shuttle time isn't worth the savings
  • You have a very tight connection or need to be at the terminal instantly
  • You're doing a quick drop-off or pickup (use the cell phone lot for free waiting)
  • You want zero shuttle logistics — park and walk

Choose Off-Airport Parking at DAL If:

  • Your trip is 3 or more days, when daily savings compound; at DFW, Triply lots run about $5 to $8/day
  • You're comfortable with a shuttle leg at each end of the trip
  • You want free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, which Triply bookings include
  • You can fly from DFW rather than Love Field, since that is where Triply lots apply; Triply sells no lot at Love Field

For Love Field trips, check the airport's official parking page for current rates. If you can fly from DFW on a week-long trip, the savings are clear: about $32 at Clarion Inn & Suites North versus $259 for a week in a DFW terminal garage at drive-up TollTag rates. The shuttle adds time to your journey, so leave extra room before your flight.
