Detailed Drivers is Baltimore's premier car service, providing flat-rate transportation 24/7 across the Inner Harbor, BWI Airport, Johns Hopkins, Harbor East, Annapolis, and the Baltimore-Washington corridor.
Baltimore car service starts at $100/hr for executive sedans, $120/hr for First Class SUVs, and $170+/hr for the premium S-Class — each with a 3-hour minimum. No surge pricing, ever. BWI airport sedan transfers start at $120+ — 10 miles via I-295, about 15-20 minutes without traffic.
Baltimore sits between two massive demand centers: its own sports/convention economy (Ravens, Orioles, Baltimore Convention Center) and the Washington DC corridor 40 miles south. Uber Black surges during Ravens home games at M&T Bank Stadium (71,008 seats), Orioles games at Camden Yards (45,971 seats), and Friday afternoon I-95 traffic. Detailed Drivers locks your rate at booking.

| First Class SUV | $120+/hr | from $120+ | 2 hr |

Baltimore's compact downtown combined with massive sports events (Ravens + Orioles = 90+ home games per year) creates predictable surge windows. The Baltimore-Washington Parkway corridor adds commuter demand. Detailed Drivers pre-assigns your chauffeur for guaranteed availability and rate.

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is located 10 miles south of downtown Baltimore, handling 27.5 million passengers in 2024 — the busiest airport in the Baltimore-Washington region. BWI is Southwest Airlines' largest East Coast hub with over 300 daily departures. The airport also serves as a practical alternative to Reagan National (DCA) and Dulles (IAD) for DC-area travelers.
BWI has two terminals: Terminal A (Concourses A/B) and Terminal B (Concourses C/D/E). Your chauffeur meets you at the lower-level arrivals area with a name sign. For departures, we drop at the upper-level departures curb. The drive to downtown Baltimore follows I-295 North (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) — 15-20 minutes off-peak, 25-35 minutes during rush hour.
BWI also serves the Annapolis area (25 miles east), Columbia/Ellicott City (15 miles west), and Washington DC (35 miles south). Detailed Drivers provides transfers to all of these destinations at no-surge pricing.

The Johns Hopkins University and Health System is Baltimore's largest employer with 50,000+ workers across the Homewood campus, Johns Hopkins Hospital (consistently ranked #1-3 in the nation by U.S. News), Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and the Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel. Out-of-town patients, visiting physicians, medical conference attendees, and researchers are a constant source of car service demand.

Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW), the $1.4 trillion asset management firm, is headquartered in Harbor East. McCormick & Company (#498 on Fortune 500) is in Hunt Valley.
