| How best to get 5 adults to DCA from Rockville on a Friday 10 am flight? Uber? Any recommended car services? |

| Reserve Uber XL ahead of time. |

You can do that, but won't need to at that time of day like you would if you were leaving at 5 or 6 AM. |

Reserving doesn’t actually schedule a driver; it just saves the request to issue at that time. |

| Can you metro? You’ll be driving in rush hour |

It's much lighter on Fridays. Right now (8 AM), live time to DCA from Bethesda is 35 minutes. |

| Uber or Lyft - compare prices |

I’m not sure that’s true. The times I’ve reserved ahead of time, I swear I’ve gotten my driver’s information the day before. |

Yes it does. You get the driver’s name and car info when you reserve. |

| If you need it (as in you have an elderly family member or someone who is disabled) Uber works, but when going to DCA, metro honestly is easier and faster most times. |

| What about reserving a local taxi? You won't face surge pricing. |

| We reserved taxi ahead of time once for going to airport, and the taxi didn’t show up. Whether the reason was, they substituted with a regular sized taxi for 4 people with 4 check in size luggages at last minute. We used uber afterwards and no more taxi. |

I wish we could metro but yeah…2 elderly relatives.
Sounds like Uber or Lyft is the way to go. But not sure if 5 adults and luggage can fit into one Uber Black or we might need 2 cars. And Is the GW parkway still a nightmare? |
