A ride into downtown DC will cost about $15-$20. Visit the Reagan Airport transportation and parking page for more information.

Washington Flyer taxi cabs exclusively service Dulles Airport. Taxi stands are located outside the main terminal at Door 2 and Door 6. A ride into DC will cost about $60-$68.
