Dulles from Washington, DC — worth knowing before you book

IAD is about 26 miles from Washington, DC, a 45–70 min drive. DCA is closer at roughly 4 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 Washington, DC

In the District the distance to Reagan National barely matters — the bridge does. The 14th Street Bridge and the GW Parkway are the two ways across the Potomac to DCA, and both stack up badly on weekday evenings. A downtown pickup that reaches the terminal in eighteen minutes at 10am can take twice that at 5pm, which is why we ask for your flight time rather than a preferred pickup time and work backwards from it.

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.
