Reagan National car service
Reagan National sits directly across the Potomac from downtown Washington and is the closest commercial airport to the city centre, the Capitol complex and the downtown business district. Its proximity is both its advantage and its constraint: the roadway system around the terminals is compact and congests quickly at peak arrival banks.
How we plan DCA transfers
Because DCA is close in, the margin for error on departures is smaller than travellers expect — the drive is short, but the terminal roadway is not forgiving at 7 a.m. We plan departures against the airline cut-off and the specific terminal, and we agree the arrival meeting point before travel day rather than at the curb.
- Terminal assignment materially changes the pickup and drop-off point
- Peak morning departure banks congest the terminal roadway
- Perimeter rules mean many transcontinental itineraries route through IAD instead
