Richmond to Washington DC corridor chauffeur service
Washington, DC is 110 miles north of Richmond via I-95, a 1 hour 50 minute drive in normal conditions (2.5–3 hours during rush hour). Detailed Drivers runs the Richmond–DC corridor regularly for executives, lobbyists, and government officials who need reliable ground transportation between the two capitals.
The flat-rate sedan fare for Richmond to downtown DC is $275. Richmond to Dulles Airport (IAD) runs $295, and Richmond to Reagan National (DCA) is $265. Your chauffeur navigates I-95, the Richmond–Petersburg Turnpike, and the Fredericksburg corridor — adjusting to real-time traffic via US-1 or US-301 when I-95 backs up south of Quantico.
For regular Richmond–DC commuters, we offer weekly retainer rates and dedicated chauffeur assignments. Many state government affairs professionals and Capitol Hill consultants use Detailed Drivers for this corridor because the flat-rate pricing makes budgeting predictable — unlike Amtrak's variable pricing or the stress of self-driving through Fredericksburg traffic.
