Reagan National Airport to Bethesda Car Service
BWI Chauffeur runs the DCA to Bethesda transfer every day of the year. The trip covers about 13 miles and takes 25–40 minutes on the George Washington Parkway to the Beltway and the I-270 spur, or the Clara Barton Parkway to River Road when the Beltway is jammed — and because the rate is locked when you book, a slow afternoon on the parkway costs you time, never money.
This route carries NIH and Walter Reed visitors, Marriott and Lockheed executives, Congressional Country Club guests and Bethesda families. Your chauffeur handles the luggage, watches the GW Parkway merge at the 14th Street Bridge, the American Legion Bridge approach and Bethesda's downtown lights and delivers you to the door: NIH and the Medical Center Metro, Walter Reed, Marriott International headquarters and Bethesda Row.

The drive from DCA to Bethesda
From DCA's Terminal 2 baggage claim and the Terminal 1 curb, your chauffeur takes the George Washington Parkway to the Beltway and the I-270 spur, or the Clara Barton Parkway to River Road when the Beltway is jammed. Typical time is 25–40 minutes for the 13-mile run; we watch the GW Parkway merge at the 14th Street Bridge, the American Legion Bridge approach and Bethesda's downtown lights in real time and reroute before you feel it.
In Bethesda, our chauffeurs know the National Institutes of Health campus, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Bethesda Row and the neighborhood streets of Downtown Bethesda, Bethesda Row and the Woodmont Triangle, so the last mile is as clean as the highway.

Why book a chauffeur instead of rideshare
Rideshare on the DCA–Bethesda run surges when you need it most and cancels when the trip is inconvenient for the driver. A BWI Chauffeur reservation commits a specific vehicle and chauffeur to you at a written rate, with 24/7 dispatch behind it. Choose a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 7 Series for one or two travelers, an Escalade or Suburban for families and luggage, or a Sprinter van for groups of up to 14.
