Why We Beat Uber & Lyft

During normal hours, our rates run neck-and-neck with rideshare apps. But during rush hour on I-35E, or after a major concert at the American Airlines Center, rideshare algorithms will charge you $120+ for a ride to the airport.

Our flat rates never change. No surge pricing, no weather penalties. Just honest, reliable cab fares.

Price Match Promise: If an app quotes you less before your ride, we’ll match it and give you 10% off your next trip.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Taxi Costs

What is the exact taxi fare from Dallas Fort Worth Airport to Downtown Dallas?

The flat-rate taxi fare from DFW Airport to Downtown Dallas is $57.00. This fixed price ensures that even if you hit heavy rush-hour traffic on I-35E, your meter will not run up. The fare covers the entire vehicle, up to 4 passengers.

Are toll fees included in my estimated taxi fare?

If your route requires utilizing toll roads (such as the Dallas North Tollway, PGBT, or TEXpress lanes), the exact toll amount is calculated upfront and included in your flat-rate quote. We do not hide fees or add surprise charges at the end of your trip.

How much does a taxi cost for a 10 or 20-minute ride?

Because local rides are billed at $3.00 per mile (after the initial $5.00 drop), time is less of a factor than distance. A typical 10-mile ride without traffic will cost approximately $32.00 to $35.00. Use our fare calculator above for an exact route estimate.

Can I pay my taxi fare with cash?

Yes! DFW Taxi Express is proud to be a cash-friendly taxi service. While you can prepay online using a debit or credit card, you can also opt to pay your professional driver directly with cash upon reaching your destination.

Do you charge extra for luggage or additional passengers?

No. Unlike shuttles that charge “per head,” our fares cover the entire vehicle. Whether you are riding solo with a briefcase or traveling with 4 people and multiple suitcases, the flat-rate price remains exactly the same.
