Quick Answer

What Is Black Car Service in Washington DC?

Black car service in Washington DC is pre-booked, fixed-rate private transportation in a late-model luxury sedan, SUV or van driven by a licensed professional chauffeur. Unlike a taxi or a rideshare app, the vehicle and the price are confirmed before the trip and there is no surge pricing.

DC ExecuCar has operated black car service in Washington DC since 2007, dispatching 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to Reagan National Airport (DCA) and Dulles International Airport (IAD). Rates are fixed at the time of booking, chauffeurs are licensed to operate in the District of Columbia, and flight tracking is included on every airport pickup.

Three questions come up most often. What does a car service in Washington DC cost, which vehicle should you choose, and how early should you leave for the airport? Fixed rates are quoted before you book; vehicles range from a Cadillac CT6 executive sedan for up to 3 passengers to a Mercedes Sprinter van for up to 14; and the drive from downtown DC is about 15 minutes to DCA and about 40 minutes to IAD.

The same service is searched for under several names — executive car service, luxury car service, town car service, private car service, or simply DC black car. They all describe the same arrangement: a licensed chauffeur, a price agreed in advance, and a vehicle that is waiting before you are.
