What is the best way to get to Dulles Airport from Alexandria, Virgina?

Question

Is there anything better than a taxi? If not, what taxi company should I use and how much should I expect to pay?

Answer 1

1) Take the Blue Line towards Largo and change at Rosslyn to the Orange Line (you'll have to change platforms). Take the Orange Line towards Vienna and get off at West Falls Church. There is a Washington Flyer Shuttle there that goes to Dulles, I think every 40 minutes; just follow the signs.

2) Take the Blue Line towards Largo and catch the 5A Metrobus to Dulles. If you do this, get a transfer at the station where you *catch* the Metro to save 85 cents on your bus fare.

Answer 2

You could always use Dulles Flyer taxi...they are a step up.

If not, Use Washington Flyer taxi...looks like it would be around $40-$50 or so.

From the airport, they would probably take the Dulles Toll Road to 495.

Answer 3

It's easiest to just drive yourself and park your car while you're away - then it's there as soon as you arrive back home. But, try to find a taxi company that offers a flat fee as opposed to a metered ride, as that would be pretty pricey. Sometimes limos are actually cheaper than a cab ride.

Answer 5

Here's another option, Metro runs a bus, but if you want easy, go with the taxi. More expensive, though.

If you're close to a metro stop, just take the metro to West Falls Church and take the bus shuttle from the metro stop. The website is here.
