Washington, D.C. → Alexandria, Virginia: key facts

Getting from Washington, D.C. Airport (DCA) to Alexandria, Virginia takes about 15 min by car on an empty road (15–25 min in heavy traffic) over 8 km. Our private transfer costs $100 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $140 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: Your driver meets you in the baggage claim area on the arrivals level of the terminal your flight lands at; at Terminal 2 this is the baggage claim (arrivals) level on the 1st floor, one level below the concourse. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Alexandria lies just south of the airport along the Potomac, and Old Town is under 10 km away. The usual route is the George Washington Memorial Parkway, which becomes Washington Street as it enters Old Town, or Route 1 through Potomac Yard. There are no tolls on either road. Traffic on the Parkway and Route 1 builds up at weekday rush hours, and Old Town's narrow streets fill with visitors on weekend evenings.

Old Town Alexandria is a grid of 18th- and 19th-century brick rowhouses between Washington Street and the river. King Street is the main spine, lined with shops and restaurants from the King Street-Old Town Metro station down to the waterfront, about 1.5 km. At the river end are the Torpedo Factory Art Center, the marina and waterfront parks. Most hotels are near the Metro station or close to the water; the lower blocks of King Street are sometimes closed to traffic, so drivers stop on a cross street.

Public transport instead: WMATA Metrorail metro Blue or Yellow Line (southbound) from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station to King Street-Old Town station.
