Bethesda to Dulles Limo & Car Service
Private airport transportation from Bethesda — about 23 miles, 35–55 min, with your flight tracked and the price fixed before you book.
Approximate — actual time depends on your pickup address and the hour you travel. Your confirmed price does not change if the drive runs long.
Dulles from Bethesda — worth knowing before you book
IAD is about 23 miles from Bethesda, a 35–55 min drive. DCA is closer at roughly 11 miles — so if your flight is available from both, the shorter run is usually the better morning. When the schedule only works from IAD, the drive is straightforward and we build the extra time into your pickup rather than into your fare.
Picking up in Bethesda
The NIH and Walter Reed campuses are large, gated, and not a single drop-off point — a pickup at "NIH" can mean a dozen different buildings behind a security perimeter. Naming the building and gate turns a confusing pickup into a normal one.
How the pickup works at Dulles
Dulles has two arrival levels, and this is where most first-time pickups go wrong. Come out to the upper ramp — the middle level. That is where your chauffeur meets you.
The day before your trip we text you your chauffeur’s direct number. Once you are outside with your bags, call them — or dispatch on (202) 766-7518 — and give the door number you are standing at and the colour of what you are wearing. Your chauffeur is already waiting in the cell phone waiting area and reaches you in about five minutes.
Most flights into this region land between about 2:00 and 4:30 in the afternoon, and bags come off slower in that window because the aircraft arrive together. Your first 60 minutes of wait are complimentary and start at landing, so this is normally absorbed there.
