Washington Dulles is where the region's international visitors arrive, and it is the airport that rewards a plan. After landing at a mid-field concourse you clear customs, ride the AeroTrain to the main terminal and collect bags before you see daylight. MSY Limo Service's DMV fleet meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, 60 minutes of complimentary wait time already built in for the customs line, and a flat rate to your hotel confirmed before you left home.

From Dulles it is about 26 miles and 40 to 60 minutes to downtown Washington via the Dulles Toll Road and I-66, roughly 30 miles and 45 minutes to Reagan National for a connection, and a similar run to Bethesda, Rockville or National Harbor on the Maryland side. Tysons, Reston and Arlington hotels are closer still.

Arriving at Dulles for the First Time

Dulles is large by design. International flights park at Concourses A and B or the mid-field C and D gates; passengers walk or ride the AeroTrain to the main terminal, clear immigration and customs, then exit into the arrivals hall on the baggage-claim level. Budget 45 to 90 minutes from touchdown to the curb on a busy evening. Your chauffeur monitors the flight and the customs flow, so the car appears when you do, not an hour earlier.

Domestic arrivals are simpler: bags on the lower level, chauffeur at the carousel or curb, 45 minutes of complimentary wait time. Either way, a Dulles airport car service removes the two hardest parts of a first visit, the taxi queue and the Toll Road merge onto I-66. Call (877) 609-1919 with your flight number and we take it from there.

Dulles vs. Reagan for Visitors

Reagan National is about 4 miles from the National Mall, but a federal perimeter rule keeps most long-haul and all overseas flights at Dulles. If you are flying from Europe, Asia, the Middle East or the West Coast, Dulles is usually your airport. The trade-off is distance, and that is exactly what a reserved chauffeur solves.

Connecting between the two airports is a 30-mile, 45-minute transfer we run daily. For a full comparison of all three airports and the hotel districts each serves best, see our Washington DC airport transfers page.
