University of Maryland Car Service & Limo Transportation

The University of Maryland 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 US-1 (Baltimore Avenue), Campus Drive, Stadium Drive, MD-193 (University Boulevard) and I-495 exit 25, drop-off at the entrance and a chauffeur waiting at a quiet corner when it ends. We serve commencement, Maryland Day, football and basketball games and August move-in.

Availability

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.

  • Flat-rate pricing confirmed before you book — no surge, no garage fees
  • Door drop-off at the University of Maryland and a pre-arranged pickup point away from the crowd
  • Hourly wait service so the car is there the moment you walk out
  • Sedans, SUVs, 14-passenger Sprinter vans and stretch limousines
  • Dinner and hotel stops folded into the same reservation
  • Licensed, insured, background-checked chauffeurs

When it happens

The calendar peaks at August move-in, Maryland Day in late April, commencement in mid-to-late May, Terps football Saturdays at SECU Stadium from September through November and Xfinity Center basketball from November through March.

Parking, traffic and why we avoid both

Campus garages and Lot 1 are permit-controlled on weekdays and sell out for football and commencement; Route 1 backs up from the Beltway to campus on game days and the College Park Metro garage fills by kickoff.

Where we drop off and pick up

We drop at the Stamp Student Union circle, SECU Stadium's Gate B on Stadium Drive, the Xfinity Center loop or the dorm curb for move-in, and pick up at a pre-set corner on Campus Drive or at The Hotel at the University of Maryland.

Popular add-ons around the venue: The Hotel at the University of Maryland, the Cambria College Park, Route 1's restaurants and the Board and Brew, the Hyattsville Arts District, the College Park Metro station and the Riverdale Park Whole Foods district.

Chauffeur versus driving yourself

Commencement and game days put thousands of cars on a campus built for a fraction of them. A chauffeur drops grandparents at the door instead of a distant lot, keeps the SUV loaded for move-in and turns a Route 1 crawl into a relaxed ride.

Why Travelers Choose a Private Car Service for UMD

For early flights, late arrivals and days that run on a schedule, a reserved car service for UMD beats hoping a driver is nearby. Your chauffeur is committed the night before, tracks the flight, and waits if it is late.

DCA Limos is the UMD limo service, executive black car service and chauffeur service in one reservation, serving Reagan National (DCA), Dulles (IAD) and BWI and the surrounding area 24/7.

UMD — Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the chauffeur drop off and pick up at the University of Maryland?

We drop at the Stamp Student Union circle, SECU Stadium's Gate B on Stadium Drive, the Xfinity Center loop or the dorm curb for move-in, and pick up at a pre-set corner on Campus Drive or at The Hotel at the University of Maryland.

The calendar peaks at August move-in, Maryland Day in late April, commencement in mid-to-late May, Terps football Saturdays at SECU Stadium from September through November and Xfinity Center basketball from November through March.
