Guests with a handicapped placard or license plate may use valet parking for the self-parking price.
Ground Transportation
There are currently no shuttles running between the Gaylord Texan and DFW, but you can use a taxi, Uber, or Lyft to get from DFW to the hotel.
Uber Passengers who request an Uber driver at DFW should meet drivers on the arrivals level of the airport. Once you’ve arrived at the arrivals level, get in touch with your Uber driver to confirm the correct pickup point. Find out more about using Uber here.
There are more Uber drivers in the Dallas area than Lyft drivers, but Lyft is also available. You can find out more about using Lyft here.
For taxis, follow the signs in the airport for ground transportation or taxi. You will see signs outside on the pillars, and there may even be someone who can hail a taxi for you. Here is the link to taxi cabs at DFW.
