Airport Transfers
Private transfers from BWI Airport to downtown Baltimore, the Inner Harbor, Annapolis, Columbia and Washington, DC, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our BWI airport transportation takes you from Baltimore/Washington International to hotels at the Inner Harbor, Harbor East and Fells Point, Johns Hopkins, the Convention Center and the stadiums downtown, and the cruise terminal. We also drive to Annapolis and the Naval Academy, Columbia, Fort Meade and Washington, DC.
Your driver meets you on the Arrivals/Lower Level at baggage claim, at the meeting point named in your confirmation. We track your flight, so a delay moves the pickup instead of canceling it, and the price for the whole vehicle is agreed before you fly.
BWI airport transfers run door to door in sedans, SUVs and vans: to downtown Baltimore hotels, conventions and games, to the Cruise Maryland Terminal, to Annapolis and the Maryland suburbs, and to hotels and homes in Washington, DC. Heading to Ocean City or the Eastern Shore? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Our BWI airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared ride that stops at other hotels on the way. It has room for luggage, strollers and sports bags, and suits families, teams and cruise groups heading to Baltimore, Annapolis or Washington.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) sits in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington. It has one terminal with five concourses: Southwest uses A, B and C, most other domestic airlines use D, and international flights use E.
International passengers clear US passport control and customs in Concourse E and collect their bags there before exiting to the lower level. Domestic passengers follow the signs from their concourse to Baggage Claim on the Arrivals/Lower Level, where taxis, shuttles and pre-booked drivers wait.
Maryland is on Eastern Time and changes its clocks for daylight saving time.
Entry to the US. You need a valid passport and either a US visa or an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program, obtained before you board. Global Entry and Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line in Concourse E.
Customs. Declare food, plants and animal products, and cash over $10,000.
Pickup curbs. Taxis wait on the lower level and app-based rides pick up on the upper level, so go to the meeting point named in your confirmation and ignore offers of rides inside the terminal.
BWI, Dulles or Reagan. Washington has three airports. If your ticket says IAD, you are landing at Dulles in Virginia; see our Dulles airport transportation page.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.
