Parking option at dulles

I like the parking spot when flying out of bwi. Can anyone recommend a similar lot at Dulles?

There aren’t similar lots. IME the economy buses at Dulles are more frequent than the ones at BWI but still not as frequent as the good private lots at BWI (and they Dulles economy buses don’t pick up/drop off at your car).

Usually we end up using the garages which are more expensive but sometimes the website offers you a deal

There are no similar lots at Dulles, as PP says. Yet another reason why BWI is superior. I reserve a spot in the economy lot ahead of time via flydulles.com (saves you money that way) and wait at one of the communal stops for the shuttle. The shuttle takes FOREVER so be sure to build in time.

Thanks all. Now I understand why I couldn't find them!

Garage 1 (next to the Metro station) is the best parking deal at IAD. It has a covered escalator walkway that goes under the daily lot straight into the terminal. If you're dealing with kids, I prefer this garage.

Before kids, I'd do the economy lot with the shuttle busses if I was doing a short trip.

Once you get to 8-10 day trip, Uber or Lyft roundtrip starts to make more economic sense.

DH just booked our space in the garages for spring break. He had gotten a 10% coupon because we have parked there before.

valet. You can drop right at the terminal.

So 20 minutes savings for $200 for a week long trip. Everyone values money differently, but not worth it for me.
