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.
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.
