City to City Car Service from Washington, DC

Door-to-door chauffeured rides from DC to New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Richmond, North Carolina and back.

Long-distance rides

Skip the train station and the airport line

A four-hour drive to New York can be faster than flying once you count security lines, boarding and the ride from the airport. With a private chauffeur, you leave from your front door, work or rest on the way, and arrive at the exact address you need, whether that is a Midtown office, a hotel in Philadelphia or a family home in Connecticut.

Capital Executive Car Services drives long-distance trips up and down the East Coast. Popular routes include Washington DC to New York City, Newark and Princeton in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Stamford and Greenwich in Connecticut, Richmond and Virginia Beach, and Raleigh and Charlotte in North Carolina. We also pick up in those cities and bring you back to DC.

Every long-distance ride is quoted upfront as one price for the whole trip, with an 18% gratuity included, so you know the cost before you go. Stops for coffee, a meal or a quick meeting on the way are easy to arrange.

FAQ

City to city car service questions

How long is the drive from Washington DC to New York?

Usually 4 to 4.5 hours door to door, depending on the time of day and traffic on I-95 and the New Jersey Turnpike. We suggest departure times that avoid the heaviest traffic.

How is a long-distance ride priced?

You see one upfront price for the whole trip as soon as you enter both addresses, with an 18% gratuity included. Tolls, extended waiting time or extra stops are confirmed with you before the trip.

Can you pick me up in New York or Philadelphia and bring me to DC?

Yes. We drive in both directions. Enter your out-of-town pickup address and your Washington-area destination when you book.

Can we stop on the way?

Yes. Short rest and coffee stops are always fine. For a meal or a meeting stop, add it to the notes so we can plan the timing.

Do you offer round trips?

Yes. Book a ride each way, or keep the chauffeur by the hour for same-day round trips such as a day of meetings in Philadelphia.
