More than free museums and a mouthwatering food scene, the nation’s capital is an attractive hub for history buffs, political junkies, art aficionados, and travel-loving families. But Washington, D.C., is also known for its heavy traffic. If you’re flying into DCA International or IAD International and wondering how to get downtown, we’re here to help.
Taxis and rideshares can exceed $100 per ride and public transportation schedules are often restricted. Ever considered renting a passenger van as a convenient alternative to a D.C. airport transfer? Luckily, securing a luxury van rental in D.C. has never been easier. Companies like Greenvans even offer airport deliveries, so all you have to do is grab the key, load your luggage, and enjoy endless things to do in Washington, D.C.
Navigating D.C.
It’s easy to see D.C.’s hot spots and the amazing destinations just a short ride away, as long as you plan things out. Navigating city traffic can be challenging, especially during peak hours or inclement weather. But even if you schedule your trip according to season and avoid the road during rush hour, flight times aren’t always in your control – even more so if your flight is delayed.
Make sure your arrival to D.C. is smooth by arranging transportation ahead of time. If you’re traveling in a group, set up a passenger van rental with Greenvans and minimize the stress of coordinating separate rides. Hop in, connect your preferred GPS to the van’s bluetooth, and get the trip started.

Affordability
Price is always a deciding factor. Let’s compare the cost of Greenvans rental vans to other options for airport transfers in Washington, D.C.
Greenvans passenger van rental
Renting a 15-passenger van from Greenvans ranges between $150 to $350 per day. This can vary, depending on the rental duration and season.
Car or minivan rental
The daily rental rate of a smaller vehicle starts at around $50 per day. Groups of four or more will need to rent more than one, resulting in higher costs in daily rates, parking and gas.
Taxi or rideshare
For anyone flying into Ronald Reagan Airport (DCA), it is much closer to the city. Taxi and rideshare fares to downtown start at around $23. Washington Dulles Airport (IAD) is a bit farther, and rides to downtown D.C. fall between $80 and $100. In the event you need multiple taxis, this could far exceed the cost of a rental van.
Shared airport shuttle
Shared rides like the Super Shuttle start at about $30, though online reviews often highlight reliability issues and long wait times.
Public transportation
The Metro is by far the most affordable option. However, no one wants to squeeze into a packed subway car with bags and suitcases. Even worse when you have to change lines. Once you get to your station, you still have to lug your things on a crowded sidewalk to your lodging. To top it off, the D.C. Metro schedules don’t always coincide with late night or early morning flights.
Wouldn’t it be easier to take a vehicle directly to your destination?
