Parking your car at DFW Airport in 2024? Be prepared to pay this much more starting in May

Prices to park in a garage at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport will increase by at least $2 beginning May 1.

The airport announced that the changes will support ongoing infrastructure and service enhancements in preparation for its $500 million plan for roadway and parking upgrades.

Daily terminal parking rates will change from $27 to $32 and drivers passing through the airport will pay $9 instead of $6. Other increases include the express covered rates from $18 to $21, express uncovered rates from $15 to $18, remote parking rates from $12 to $14, and valet rates from $40 to $45.

Officials attribute the increase to inflation, claiming it has significantly increased the cost of supplies and labor. The Metroplex has the worst inflation in the nation, according to a recent study.
