Left inside the rental car
Contact the rental agency and return location on your agreement. Include the return time, vehicle class or plate, reservation number, and a precise description.
Return follow-up
Lost something after returning an DFW rental car?
The fastest recovery path depends on where you last had the item. Use this Dallas-Fort Worth-specific routing guide before sending the same request to every department.
Left on the Rental Car Center shuttle
Start with the rental agency, then use DFW's official Lost and Found instructions if the item was on airport transportation or in a public area.
Left in a terminal or at security
Use DFW's official routing page. The last known location determines whether DFW, TSA, an airline, or a concession operator owns the next step.
Left on the aircraft or in a gate area
Contact the airline directly rather than the rental counter. Keep the flight number, terminal, gate, seat, and baggage details ready.
DFW-specific note
DFW separates airport, airline, TSA, and rental-car responsibility. Items left on an aircraft or in a gate area may follow the airline path; items left in the rental vehicle start with the rental agency.
