Landing at Reagan National is simple, and an arrival pickup with DCA Limos is designed to keep it that way. The airport has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, connected by walkways and served by a single roadway system. Your airline determines which terminal you use; your chauffeur already knows and is positioned accordingly before the aircraft reaches the gate.

This page explains what happens between the jet bridge and the car so that you can walk off the plane knowing where to go. The short version: collect your bags, check your phone for the chauffeur’s message and walk to the designated pickup area, or, with meet and greet, look for the name sign at baggage claim.
Terminal 1 is the smaller of the two and handles a limited number of airlines; Terminal 2 is the main building where most flights arrive. Baggage claim in each terminal is on the arrivals level. Once you have your bags, the pickup area for chauffeured vehicles is a short, signed walk from the doors, and your confirmation describes it. Reagan National assigns pre-arranged cars to specific spots rather than the general curb, which is why our chauffeurs do not simply pull up outside the door.
Because DCA operates under a federal perimeter rule that limits most nonstop flights to a set distance, with a limited number of exempted longer routes, the majority of arrivals are domestic and receive 45 minutes of complimentary wait time.
From the moment your flight departs, dispatch watches it. If it lands early, the chauffeur is already staged nearby and moves up; if it is delayed, the chauffeur is held back and the wait-time clock does not start until the wheels are down. As you taxi, you will receive a text or call with the vehicle description, plate and the chauffeur’s number. There is nothing you need to do until you have your bags.
If you add meet and greet, the chauffeur enters the terminal instead and waits near the baggage carousels with a sign, then handles the bags and the walk.
Give us the flight number rather than just a time, because the flight number is what we track. Tell us the number of passengers and bags so the vehicle fits; a Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban is the better choice for a family with checked luggage. Ask for a car seat when you book if you need one. And keep your phone on as you land; the chauffeur’s message is the only step that requires you.

From a sedan for one executive to a Sprinter for a wedding party, DCA Limos matches the vehicle to the trip: airport car service at DCA Airport Arrival Pickup, corporate black car service, wedding and prom limo service, and hourly chauffeur hire.
Every booking at DCA Airport Arrival Pickup comes with a written quote, a licensed and background-checked chauffeur, and a commercially insured vehicle.
Your airline determines the terminal. It does not matter for you: dispatch knows the terminal from the flight number, and the chauffeur is staged for the correct one. Your confirmation explains where to walk after baggage claim.
In the airport’s designated pickup area for pre-arranged chauffeured vehicles, a short walk from baggage claim. The chauffeur texts the vehicle details as you land and you walk out to the car.
At the actual landing time, not the scheduled one. Domestic arrivals include 45 minutes and international arrivals 60 minutes, which covers baggage delays and a long walk from the gate.
Call dispatch at (877) 609-1919 as soon as you know. We reschedule the pickup to the new flight without a re-quote, and sedans and SUVs can be cancelled free up to 3 hours before the original pickup.
Yes. Airport-to-airport transfers are flat rate, and we track both flights so the timing works even if one of them moves.
