Premium airport transfers from Dallas Love Field (DAL), the Southwest Airlines hub closest to downtown. Faster pickups, lower costs, and convenient access to Uptown, Highland Park, and the Park Cities.
Dallas Love Field (DAL) holds a special place in Texas aviation history - it was the original commercial airport serving Dallas before DFW opened in 1974. Today, Love Field has been transformed into a modern, efficient Southwest Airlines hub that serves over 15 million passengers annually. For travelers heading to central Dallas, Uptown, Highland Park, or the Park Cities, Love Field offers an unbeatable combination of convenience, speed, and value.
The numbers speak for themselves: Love Field is just 6 miles from downtown Dallas, compared to DFW's 18 miles. This proximity translates to drive times of 10-20 minutes to most central Dallas destinations, versus 30-50 minutes from DFW. For busy professionals, this difference is transformative - you can be in your Uptown office or Highland Park home before a DFW passenger has even collected their bags.
Our Love Field airport car service leverages this proximity with competitive pricing that reflects actual distance traveled. An executive sedan to Uptown starts at just $49 - significantly less than the same trip from DFW. This isn't cutting corners; it's simple economics. Shorter distance means lower cost, and we pass those savings directly to you.
Love Field's single-terminal design is a joy compared to DFW's sprawling complexity. All 20 gates feed into one central baggage claim, and the Ground Transportation pickup area is steps away. There's no inter-terminal train to catch, no long walks between concourses - just efficient, straightforward pickup. This simplicity allows our drivers to position precisely and minimize your wait time.
For business travelers in Uptown's office towers or residents of Dallas's most prestigious neighborhoods - Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow - Love Field is the obvious choice. Design professionals visiting the Design District for market week, lawyers with offices along McKinney Avenue, and executives in the Park Cities all benefit from our Love Field expertise. Our corporate accounts serve companies that have made the strategic decision to route travelers through DAL whenever possible.
