DFW to Bedford at a glance
DFW offers several ground transportation choices, but the best fit depends on whether you want a direct car ride or a transit connection.
DFW Airport groups taxis, courtesy vehicles, shared rides, limousines, charter buses and transportation-network companies under its Ground Transportation information. Taxis and app-based rides provide pickup at the terminals, while rental cars require a shuttle trip to the Rental Car Center. Public transit connects the terminals with services serving Dallas and Fort Worth.
Before choosing transit for Bedford, check the connections and final leg of your journey. The airport’s rail and bus links connect from DFW, not directly to Bedford.
Taxi and rideshare pickup at DFW
Taxis pick up on the lower level of Terminals A, B, C, D and E, while app-based rides use each terminal’s upper-level curbside. Uber, Lyft, WINGZ and Alto are the airport’s transportation-network providers.
At taxi stands, a Guest Assistant is available from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight). If you need a taxi after midnight, call +1-972-973-4061 to request one. For an app-based ride, follow the airport’s directions for the upper-level curbside pickup at your terminal.
A taxi or rideshare gives you a direct car trip toward Bedford without first travelling to a rental-car centre. Check the pickup instructions for your terminal before heading outside, since taxi and app pickups are on different levels.
Rental cars and driving to Bedford
Rental cars are collected at DFW’s Rental Car Center, near the airport’s south entrance. Its address is 2424 E. 38th Street, DFW Airport, TX, and 11 rental-car companies operate there.
Complimentary rental-car shuttles run around the clock from the terminals to the centre. They depart every 10–15 minutes, and the ride takes approximately 10 minutes. Allow for that transfer when comparing a rental car with a taxi or rideshare, then continue your drive toward Bedford.
Airport shuttles are complimentary, available 24/7 and ADA accessible. The DFW Airport shuttle tracker covers terminal, parking and rental-car shuttles. Check the official site before you go for current pickup guidance and service details.
Public transit options and connections
DFW connects its terminals to DART, TEXRail and TRE, but these services serve the wider Dallas–Fort Worth area rather than providing a direct Bedford route. DART primarily serves Dallas, TEXRail primarily serves Fort Worth, and TRE connects the two cities.
The DART Orange Line serves Terminal A10 on the lower level. The DART Silver Line and TEXRail serve Terminal B30, also on the lower level.
TRE LINK buses connect Terminal D with CentrePort/DFW Airport station: at the airport, the stop is outside Gate D22 on the upper level; at CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, board at Bus Bay A. The airport map notes that this connection does not run on Sundays.
TEXRail’s local single-ride fare between Fort Worth and DFW Airport is $2. Transit fares, services and connections can change, so verify your full route to Bedford before setting out. For local travel after arriving, Bedford transportation options can help with planning the next leg.
Planning arrival and departure times
Build the pickup or transfer into your schedule: rental-car shuttles take approximately 10 minutes to reach the Rental Car Center, in addition to their 10–15-minute departure interval. Taxi stands have Guest Assistant coverage from 8:00 AM to midnight, while taxi requests after midnight require a call.
For a rail or bus itinerary, confirm the terminal stop, operating pattern and onward connection before you travel. In particular, TRE LINK’s airport connection has no Sunday service. Airport shuttles run 24/7, but they serve airport destinations such as terminals, parking and the Rental Car Center rather than replacing a trip to Bedford.
