Directions for your Dulles airport taxi
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is one of the three major airports in the Baltimore-Washington area and is known as the region’s international air hub. Dulles airport is located around 45 km from downtown DC, so the journey shouldn’t take more than 40 minutes in light traffic.
To begin your journey, your Welcome Pickups driver will exit the airport compound and take the VA-267 E in Hunter Mill District to the west. After around 10 minutes, they will then merge onto the toll road I-66 E. From here, your driver will take the exit toward E Street, before taking 18th St NW to L St NW. From here, your driver will use the local roads to take you to the door of your hotel.
