You absolutely don't hit a toll road leaving the airport. If you're going to head straight out of DFW towards Abilene, leave the airport via the South exit, take 183 West to 360 South, which will take you right to I-20, then head West to Abilene. Piece of cake.

What the OP is asking is whether there is a toll to leave the airport. If the OP is obtaining the car at the airport, the rental agency is outside the airport roadway and outside the toll booths.
If you're going direct to Abilene, you can use I-20. If you're going to Fort Worth and then later to Abilene, use I-30. I-20 goes south of the city, I-30 goes through it.
And neither I-20 nor I-30 nor Hwy 183 are toll roads. Two are paid for with everyone's taxes, the third's paid for with Texas taxes.

Yeah, HTTY is using what is probably the technical name for the highway inside the airport. That's the problem with the technical name, locals have their own slang or identifiers. I've never called that road the DFW International Toll Highway. I'd seen other posts from HTTY and surmised that a rental was involved.

Until the DFW Connector construction project started sending me nightly closure warnings, I had never known this road was International Parkway, and I live in Grapevine!
OP, go out the south entrance of the airport and head west on 183. This will become Loop 820 West, and will eventually take you down to I20. Watch out for State Troopers once you get west of Fort Worth. They watch I20 like hawks...

Christie -- there's too much construction on this route.
HTTY:
BigRuss gave the better route, HOWEVER, there will be construction on Hwy. 360 just after it passes over I-30. Drive carefully through this area, the lanes are very narrow.
