For 3-4 days we drive and park at DCA, 5-6 days is the breakeven for Dulles. For longer trips we uber. For work trips I usually drive since the clients are paying for parking.
When someone comes to visit it depends on the time of day. Early morning is on them to get an uber. Other times of day we can drop off. |
We live close to iAd but we just uber. We don’t want to trouble others to drive us back & forth, and we don’t want to leave our car at parking, theft may steal the parts/tires etc. |
Because you live near the airport. |
When we booked flight at DCA we still uber. |
Uber/Taxi to and from DCA as its pretty close. IAD is far so we generally drive and park. |

Car service. |
I worry about being too tired to safely drive home after long flights/exhausting treks. |
I drive to curb of departures and let them out, and drive off - like a kiss and fly. |
Agree for international flights. I do have some short intl trips (like 4-5 days) and more likely to uber for those. Domestic trips not really. But I travel every week or two so the drive home is pretty routine for me and never had an issue feeling drowsy. |
Uber or park. Depends on the airport and how long the trip is. |
When I travel for business, I drive and park at the hourly lot/garage.
Ditto when we travel as a family. If I’m dropping off my college kids, I just drop them off (don’t go inside). If I’m picking up relatives or friends, I arrive early, park, and hang out inside so I can properly greet them and avoid circling. |
Somebody in the family drops them off or picks them up at the curb. We live about 30 minutes from BWI and mostly fly Southwest. |
If it’s all of us, we drive and park at the airport. If it’s just me and my husband is available and it’s not rush hour, he will drive me. If he doesn’t, I’ll take metro or an uber. Depends on how much time I have or which airport. |
It depends on when I'm going and which airport. I'll park at the metro and ride in a lot. But Uber/Lyft or drop off. I will park at the airport if I am in a time crunch. |
