How old are you? If you are 62 or older, AMTRAK to Richmond is 2 hours and very cheap. You can rent

We have 4 days booked in Washington DC before we drive to Richmond europe student travel and district. I do not need the car whilst in Washington but need the car for Richmond. My question is would it be best to collect the car from a rental agency in the city or get a taxi to Dulles? We are staying in Georgetown whilst in DC.
I would price in city locations europe student travel and DCA locations. I would also check the cost of taking Amtrak to Richmond and then renting a car there. I don't know what "and district" means at the end of your first sentence.
You will SAVE MONEY by not renting at an airport europe student travel location. As I recall you are actually leaving town from Dulles and I would simply europe student travel make sure that you can return your car to a Dulles location to avoid driving europe student travel all the way back into town.
You also save a lot of money on car rental if you rent from a town other than Washington DC. In April, we found that by renting the car in Annapolis instead of Washington DC, we saved about $600. But we were already planning to go to Annapolis anyway. We got there from Washington DC by taking a bus for around $4 per person europe student travel to Annapolis. But that city might not be convenient for you. You might check other towns around.
The only caveat is sometimes at these neighborhood europe student travel branches, the hours are more just the business day hours. We found several agencies also had car rental sites near Union Station open until 10 pm if that is a priority.
The best deals we found were for Budget, using the Entertainment book, both coupon AND website link. If you look, you can get deals at most companies though it takes a little time. Your memberships to things like AAA or Costco may also get you a discount.
How old are you? If you are 62 or older, AMTRAK to Richmond is 2 hours and very cheap. You can rent a car to pick up at Staples Mills station, on the edge of the city. Do Richmond, then the Skyline Drive, and end your trip at Dulles.
If I understand correctly from the OP's first thread, the OP is traveling home to the UK from Dulles leaving 9 am and has a hotel booked in the Dulles area their final night. Staying in Georgetown while in DC.
Taxi will be $60+ but the hotel will know more specifically the amount. Supershuttle to Dulles is another option, less expensive. The cheapest europe student travel option 5A Metro bus leaves from Rosslyn to Dulles which is close trip via Circulator bus ($1) or cab from Gtown. Also metro to Falls Church to pick up Washington Flyer.
All of the other suggestions europe student travel involve traveling somewhere to either get a car or get a train and incur the additional costs to take the train or return the car to a spot that wasn't the pick up spot. And then travel to the Dulles area at the end of the trip.
Train to Richmond. Rent the car there. The drive from Washington to Richmond is terrible - lots of construction and traffic. Richmond, then Skyline Drive / Charlottesville, then Dulles to drop off the car and fly home.
tomfuller, The OP will need to take a pair city buses or a $10 cab ride to get from Georgetown to Union Station for a 7:40am train. europe student travel Neither of the Richmond train stations (downtown and Staples Mill Rd) have car rental on site. Car rental is nearby but if travel is on a weekend, hours on Saturday are limited and usually closed on Sunday.
Get on I-64 East at Waynesboro if you have to go to Richmond-West europe student travel if you want to go to Staunton to get on I-81 up through the beautiful europe student travel Shenandoah Valley on I-81 and go back to DC to turn in the car.
Hi, Thanks for all help, A bit of confusion seems evident about our plans so I will explain further. We are staying in Washington Dc for 4 nights in Georgetown. I need to pick up a car in the morning for our drive via Skyline to Richmond. I thn need to take the car back to Dulles for our flight out at 9am on the morning, having stopped in Richmond (west) for 2 nights.
Thanks. Think I will look at hiring car from Reagan and returning to Dulles. europe student travel Intention is to drive south n skyline drive and then come off at waynesborough to richmong. We are staying west of Richmond. europe student travel We want to visit Williamsburg whilst europe student travel down there. So your suggestion would be to avoid I95 and drive back via I66 to Dulles?
Coming back from Williamsburg to avoid I-95 try US 17 north to US 1 which runs alongside I-95 to Dumfries and then Rt. 234 into Manassas to get on 26 which will take you to Dulles just north of Chantilly. There is a new branch of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum next to the airport if that interests you.
Agree. What morning europe student travel of the week are you leaving DC for the Skyline Drive? europe student travel You're all good if it's a weekend day. If it's a weekday you'll have substantial rush hour traffic to contend with. Just plan accordingly.
