Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
A private chauffeur meets you at Washington Dulles, takes your bags, and drives you directly to your hotel, office, or home. We run 24/7 with real-time flight tracking and vehicles from executive sedans to full-size coaches. RDV Limousine has served the DMV for more than 20 years.
How Your Dulles Pickup Works
- Book online or by phone. Send your flight number, passenger count, luggage, and destination. Your trip is confirmed in writing with the rate, vehicle, and pickup details.
- We track your flight. Dispatch watches your flight from departure to landing. If it arrives early or late, your chauffeur's arrival time changes to match. You don't need to call.
- You get your chauffeur's details. Before pickup we text you your chauffeur's name and cell number, so you can reach them as soon as you land.
- Your chauffeur meets you inside. Domestic flights: your chauffeur waits in Main Terminal baggage claim with a name sign. International flights: your chauffeur waits at the International Arrivals exit after customs. Prefer a curbside pickup instead? Just let us know when you book.
- Curb to door. Your chauffeur loads your luggage and drives you directly to your destination. There are no shared stops and no surge pricing.

Dulles Car Service FAQ
How do I find my chauffeur at Dulles Airport?
On domestic flights, your chauffeur waits in Main Terminal baggage claim with a sign showing your name. On international flights, they wait at the International Arrivals exit after customs. You'll also get your chauffeur's name and cell number by text before you land. If you'd prefer a curbside pickup, just let us know when you book.
What happens if my flight is delayed or arrives early?
We track every inbound flight in real time and change your pickup time to match your actual arrival. You don't need to call us about a delay.
How far is Dulles from downtown DC, and how long is the drive?
Dulles is about 26 miles from downtown Washington. Off-peak the drive takes about 40–45 minutes. Weekday rush hour can push it past an hour.
