Dragonfly is the smart alternative for getting to the airport

Cost of Driving Yourself to DFW Airport or Love Field

It costs money, time, stress, and risk to get to the airport. Planning air travel can be complex. Your trip to the airport shouldn't be part of the complexity. This is why I offer taxi service to DFW Airport and Love Field. Dragonfly Airport Taxi Service gets your air travel off on the right foot by addressing the stress factors associated with driving yourself.

Let’s break them down.

Distance to the Airports

Depending on your pickup location, DFW Airport is 41 to 71 miles and Love Field is 32 to 59 miles. That’s an average of 53 miles. It’s miles of crazy traffic, construction zones, road rage, distracted drivers, breakdowns and wrecks. That’s a lot to face before you even get started with the fun at the airport.

Fuel Cost

Let’s say you get 20 mpg.  That’s about 2.5 gallons of gas one-way to the airport or 5 gallons round trip. At $3/gal, that’s $15 in gas.

Tolls

The DFW Metroplex has several toll roads. You can avoid some of these by taking alternate routes. If you have to take a toll road, you’ll be hit with $0.32 to over $1.00 every time you pass through a toll gate or under a toll gantry. That’ll cost you about $5.50 in tolls. TEXpress across North LBJ is over $10.50.

Parking Fees

At DFW Airport, parking will cost from $12 to $27 per day. Valet is $40 per day. Love Field is a little less. So, if you are going on a typical one- or two-week business trip, you’re looking at $84 to $168 at the remote site, and $189 to $378 if you park at the terminal.

Total cost to drive yourself can be as much as $123 or more.

Pack In Your Luggage

You made it to the airport, but now you get to lug around at least one 20 lb to 50 lb roller bag, drag it to the shuttle terminal, and pack it on and off the bus.

What About Your Vehicle?

Unless you pay premium parking fees, your car or truck will be in an outdoor parking lot exposed to hale, ice, rain, heat, UV rays, dirt, fender-benders, and vandalism 24 hours a day, every day while you’re gone.
