Picking up your car rental at Dallas Fort Worth Airport

The rental car shuttle will pick you up and take you to the facility where you will find all of our partnered agents.

Getting around in your Dallas Airport rental car
Dallas is a large city, with a mix of freeways and small one-way streets. Take note of these tips before picking up your Dallas Airport car rental.
- Dallas is among the most congested cities in the USA. A GPS unit or a properly mounted cellphone with updated navigational apps is a necessity for finding your way around while driving your DFW airport car rental.
- One-way streets are common in Dallas, so map out your route in advance and pay close attention to directional street signs.
- There are plenty of pedestrians and bikers in the city, and they are known for ignoring traffic and give-way rules, so be extra careful around them and don’t assume they will yield to you.
- Some highways around the city are tollways. You can get a TollTag with your DFW rental car, or pay cash or credit at toll plazas. Please check the rental locations policies and/or offerings for toll products.
- Avoid rush hour traffic if you can, and give yourself plenty of time to get from Point A to B.
- When it comes to yellow lights, most locals will blaze straight through them, so be wary of hitting the brakes if there’s a car behind you.
