The Preakness Stakes is a highlight of the Maryland calendar and a headache to drive to. DCA Limos handles the whole evening: pickup at home or hotel, the drive along For Laurel Park, MD-198 and Race Track Road off the BW Parkway or I-95; for Pimlico, Northern Parkway from I-83 or I-695 and Park Heights Avenue, drop-off at the entrance and a chauffeur waiting at a quiet corner when it ends. We serve the Preakness Stakes, Black-Eyed Susan Day and InfieldFest.
Baltimore and Laurel
Third Saturday in May
Flat rate — call for quote
24 / 7
Every trip is quoted flat before you book — with hourly service available if you would like the car to stay — and our chauffeurs plan around the venue's closures and exits so you never see the parking lot.
The Preakness runs on the third Saturday in May, with Black-Eyed Susan Day the Friday before. The 2026 running was held at Laurel Park while Pimlico is rebuilt, and the race is scheduled to return to the new Pimlico on Park Heights Avenue in May 2027 — confirm the venue when you book.
Preakness parking is limited, permit-heavy and expensive at either track, exits are police-managed with rolling closures, and rideshare pickup zones sit a long walk from the gates in the post-race crush.
We drop at the clubhouse or general-admission gate and stage the vehicle at a pre-set corner outside the closure perimeter — on Race Track Road or MD-198 at Laurel, or on Northern Parkway at Pimlico — so the ride home starts within minutes of the last race.
Popular add-ons around the venue: Laurel Park and the Laurel Main Street restaurants, the Inner Harbor and Harbor East hotels, Mount Washington and Roland Park, the BWI airport hotels, Federal Hill and Columbia and the Merriweather District.
Race day means a crowd, a dress code and a toast — none of which mixes with driving. A chauffeur handles the closures and the parking, keeps the party together in a Sprinter or limousine and brings everyone home after the winner's circle.

Every booking for Preakness Stakes comes with a written quote, a licensed and background-checked chauffeur, and a commercially insured vehicle.
We drop at the clubhouse or general-admission gate and stage the vehicle at a pre-set corner outside the closure perimeter — on Race Track Road or MD-198 at Laurel, or on Northern Parkway at Pimlico — so the ride home starts within minutes of the last race.
Point-to-point trips are one flat rate by vehicle and pickup address; if you want the car to wait through the event, we quote an hourly rate with a minimum instead. Either way the price is confirmed before you book and never surges on event night. Call (877) 609-1919 for a quote.

Yes. Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs seat six, Mercedes Sprinter vans carry up to 14 and stretch limousines seat eight; larger parties ride in multiple coordinated vehicles that arrive together.
Preakness parking is limited, permit-heavy and expensive at either track, exits are police-managed with rolling closures, and rideshare pickup zones sit a long walk from the gates in the post-race crush. With a chauffeur there is nothing to park.
