Top tips for hiring a car at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport
- Car hire at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport is a great way to give you the freedom to start your Texas adventure as soon as you get off the plane. Located between two of the main cities in Texas – Dallas and Fort Worth – this airport is the ideal place to hire a car and explore these bustling metropolises or head out further into the state. It is easy to exit the airport on one of the highways – the International Parkway runs through the airport and from here you can easily access State Highway 114, which will take you straight into Dallas.
- Collecting your car hire at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport is easy and hassle free. All the car hire companies are located in the same place at one end of the airport and there is a network of free shuttles that link the car rental facility with all the airport terminals. Upon arrival at the car hire centre (around 10min by shuttle bus from the terminals) you’ll be met by the relevant company agent who will provide you with the keys and help complete the paperwork. You’ll then be directed to your hire car and the agent will give you tips as to how to exit the airport.
- While there are many public transportation options at the airport, car hire at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport is a better option if you have your own timetable to follow and want to explore at your leisure. Whether you want to visit Fort Worth or perhaps go exploring further afield, visiting places of outdoor beauty such as Ray Roberts Lake State Park, which is just under an hour from the airport, or heading south to Austin and San Antonio, being able to get there under your own steam will add to the joy of your journey.
- To return your car to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport car hire area go to the south entrance of the airport and follow the signs to the Rental Car Centre. Look out for the signposts to your car hire company bays, which will be on the second level, and park your car, collecting all your belongings and taking the keys to the desk. Some agencies such as Avis are open 24h so you won’t need to look for the key drop-box. If you have hired a car that needs to be returned after-hours simply drop your keys and the completed contract in the key drop-box and get the shuttle to the terminal. Shuttles from the car hire facility run 24h.
- Book your car hire at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

May 2021
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
Everything was horrible. The line was three hours long. There was only one person at the counter and she cared very little to expedite the check in process, taking 15min to check in a customer. Don’t waste your time trying to save a little money with this company. They don’t care about your time.Thrifty

Pros:
Staff were friendly, and the car was clean when i received it.Cons:
Having my reserved car ready to go, instead of having to wait for over 4 hours in line and to see if i even will have a rental car, (the staff told us they are out of rentals) Also.....have your Thrifty counters open! Both locations were CLOSED and i had to deal with another rental company to just get my reservation for pickup/drop off.10,0 Wonderful
Jun 2021
Pros:
Extremely easy to book and friendly staff at counter.Cons:
Wait time for pick-up. Having paid in advance and placed a reservation, just wish there was a line specifically for those who had.2,0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
I couldn’t get the rental car. They wouldn’t let me drop off at a different airport.2,0 Poor
May 2021
Cons:
Made a reservation two months ago for a rental car for my trip. Get to the rental car pick up and they proceed to tell me we don't have any cars and it will be a 3-4 hour wait on a car. I have a two-year-old, and a pregnant wife that needed to eat and you wanted me to wait 3-4 hours. That was wrong why take my reservation if you could not fulfill it?2,0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
The single young lady who was working the morning (@ 7am) of May 8 did her best to handle the surge of travelers waiting to get their rental car. There were approximately 25-35 people waiting while I was in line. Also... I want the individual working the Hertz station in the garage to be given an award. MR. Thomas B (I cannot recall just last name)...when I explained my situation trying to get to a college graduation that was starting in 50 minutes....took the initiative to provide me excellent customer service as an individual. Customer service that Dollar/Thrifty FAILED TO DELIVER AS A COMPANY.!!!Cons:
It would have been nice to have had at least two people working the morning of 8 May. Due to the lack of proper staffing, I almost MISSED my niece's COLLEGE GRADUATION!!!!Dollar

Jun 2017
Pros:
Car was clean and in good condition.Cons:
Alamo refused to honor the terms of the contract that we initially established with them and for which they accepted payment (i.e. Fraud) because the reservation primary driver was not the person that paid the prepaid amount (despite that person being present, with ID and credit card used, at the time of pickup). They proceeded to establish a new reservation at a higher rate, refusing to honor the original rate (i.e. Bait & Switch) of the reservation. It took a significant amount of time with multiple customer service agents at both check-in and check-out to get them to abide by the original terms of the agreement. Very questionable business practices, I have to wonder how many other people who were not willing to go through the hassle of dealing with their byzantine customer service system have been overcharged because of this.10,0 Wonderful
