What to know before you book here
Distances are the thing to plan for
Dallas and Fort Worth are roughly thirty miles apart and almost everything in between is a drive. Trips here run up more miles than travellers expect, which makes fuel policy and any mileage cap worth checking before you book rather than after.
Cashless tolls
North Texas runs extensive cashless toll roads. Every supplier sells a transponder product and the pricing models differ — flat daily fee, per-day-of-use, or pass-through plus an administration charge per toll. Tell us your route and we will quote the toll product alongside the car.
Business demand moves midweek rates
Rates here swing with conference and corporate travel rather than the holiday calendar. Midweek pickups are frequently the expensive ones, which is the opposite of most leisure markets.
Classes we quote most in Dallas
Midsize sedan
- 5 seats
- 3 bags
- Long-drive comfort
The default American road-trip car. Comfortable at highway speed for hours, sensible on fuel, big enough for a family of four with luggage.
What this class really means
Full-size sedan
- 5 seats
- 4 bags
- Extra rear legroom
More rear legroom and more boot than a midsize, without moving up to an SUV’s fuel bill.
What this class really means
Compact SUV
- 5 seats
- 3 bags
- Higher seating
The most requested class in the US. Higher seating position, more usable boot, and all-wheel drive on many models.
What this class really means
Standard SUV
- 5–7 seats
- 4 bags
- Optional third row
Midsize SUVs, sometimes with a small third row. The usual pick for a family of four with a lot of gear.
What this class really meansOn terminal logistics. Counter locations, shuttle arrangements and opening hours at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport are set by the airport and the rental suppliers and do change. Your agent confirms the current pickup instructions for your specific supplier and booking in writing before you travel, rather than relying on anything printed on a website.
