Planning a trip pretty soon and would like to know what options i have (cheapest and safest). Any suggestions?

You can part at the Hilton Garden Inn on the south entrance for $2 per day. It is in their parking lot with a shuttle to the airport. Done it several times without issue.

Covered spaces at Parking Spot, costs more than the Hilton but this is hail season.

Agree with sancocho. I also like Express parking, which is closer in and has frequent buses to/from terminals. The North lot had limited number of covered spaces, too.

Depending on when you fly, you definitely want covered parking. You don't want to return from your trip to discover your car has hail damage.

If the trip is only a few days, you may get away with uncovered parking if the forecast mentions ZERO chance of thunderstorms.

Based on my most recent trip to DFW last week, avoid the north entrance. Road closures had it stop-and-go for maybe 30-45 minutes. Easier to go around and take the south entrance if you're going to park on-site. Even north remote like Park-N-Fly might be a problem.

Good advice. The north entrance has been fucked up now for about three or four months.
