Why book a car from Philadelphia to Dulles?

Car service from Philadelphia to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is a pre-booked private car for a trip of about 160 miles, used when a flight, fare or connection only works from Dulles.

It is a long drive, and we will say so plainly: if the same flight leaves from PHL or Newark, take it. People book this run for a nonstop that Philadelphia lacks, a government or embassy trip, or a group that would otherwise need several train tickets and a transfer at Union Station.

Coming home, the chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you inside the main terminal. Airport waiting time is free.

The driver was fantastic. I missed to give him the tip. Please send my big thank you to him. I really appreciated all the kind support when travelling from abroad. Many thanks.

We needed a limousine last minute and since we had 18+ bags most people were not able to accommodate us. We booked them the night before, they were on time, courteous and did not let us lift 1 bag!

Dulles car service questions.

How far is Dulles from Philadelphia?

About 160 miles from Center City. Plan on a long drive, and allow extra time around Baltimore and the Washington Beltway.

Can we stop on the way?

Yes. Ask for a rest stop when you book and the chauffeur plans for it.

Do you pick up international arrivals at Dulles?

Yes. The flight is tracked and waiting time is free, so a long customs line does not cost extra.

Is a car cheaper than the train for a group?

For four or more people with luggage it often compares well, because you pay for the car, not per seat. Ask our team for a quote.

Is gratuity included?

No. Gratuity is not included; 15 to 20 percent is typical.

What is the cancellation policy?

Local trips can be cancelled up to 24 hours before pickup and international trips up to 48 hours. The full terms are on the cancellation policy page.
