Parking Tips

There are plenty of parking options at Washington Dulles Airport ranging from short-term to long-term ones. The rates also vary and you can choose to pay per hour or day. Reservations are not required. When it comes to Washington DC, we recommend using parking garages and public car parks as parking on-street and in the city centre can get scarce and quite expensive. Sometimes it is best to leave the vehicle at the hotel and take the underground if you are planning on visiting the main tourist attractions.
