Airport Transfer
BWI to Annapolis Car Service for Connecting Travelers
Annapolis has no airport of its own, so every visitor arrives through BWI, Dulles or Reagan and finishes the trip by road. Our BWI to Annapolis car service is built for the traveler whose itinerary has more than one leg: the Naval Academy parent who flew Southwest into Baltimore, the sailor who connected through Dulles to reach the October boat shows, the Commissioning Week family arriving from three cities on the same afternoon.

Primary route
The run is 27 to 30 miles down I-97 to US-50 and Rowe Boulevard, typically 30 to 45 minutes. IAD Airport Limo tracks the inbound flight, stages a chauffeur at BWI's lower-level arrivals curb or at baggage claim, and delivers to the Naval Academy gates, City Dock, Eastport or a Bay Bridge-side venue at a written flat rate. The same reservation can cover the Dulles side when guests split across airports.
- Flat rate confirmed in writing at booking, with no surge on Commissioning Week or boat show weekends
- Flight tracking with 45 minutes of free wait on domestic arrivals and 60 minutes on international
- Meet and greet at BWI baggage claim, or curbside at the lower-level arrivals curb
- Coordinated pickups when a family arrives at BWI and Dulles on the same day
- Drop-off at the Naval Academy Gate 1 and Gate 8 area, Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, City Dock and Eastport
- Licensed and insured Virginia and Maryland carrier, Maryland PSC Carrier No. 6325, 24/7
Naval Academy visits and Commissioning Week
Induction Day in late June, Parents' Weekend in the fall and Commissioning Week in late May bring midshipmen's families through BWI in waves. Downtown Annapolis parking disappears, King George Street closes for ceremonies and the Yard's visitor gates run on a schedule. Our chauffeurs know the drop points near Gate 1 and the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium park-and-ride, and they time the BWI pickup against the flight rather than a guess.
Families arriving from several cities usually land hours apart. We can hold one Sprinter for the group or run separate sedans on separate flights under one reservation, with dispatch watching each tail number. Call (877) 609-1919 with the arrival list and we build the day around it.
Boat shows and Chesapeake weekends
The Annapolis Sailboat Show and Powerboat Show in October fill City Dock, Compromise Street and every garage within a mile. Show-goers who flew into BWI or Dulles are better off with a chauffeur who drops at the show entrance on Dock Street and picks up at a fixed point afterward. Our Annapolis boat show transportation page has the venue detail; this page covers the airport leg.
Outside show season, the same route serves sailing charters out of Eastport, Chesapeake Bay Beach Club weddings across the bridge and weekend visitors to Main Street. In summer, Bay Bridge beach traffic on Fridays and Sundays adds time on Route 50, so we quote against the hour you actually land.
Connecting through Dulles instead of BWI
International and West Coast travelers headed for Annapolis usually land at Dulles, 70 miles and 75 to 100 minutes away by the Beltway and Route 50. Our IAD to Annapolis route handles that leg with meet and greet at the customs exit and 60 minutes of free international wait. When part of a group lands at IAD and part at BWI, one reservation covers both, and our IAD to BWI Airport transfer handles the rare itinerary that touches both fields.
For the Baltimore side of the same trip, see Baltimore to Annapolis, and for the general Maryland route, our original BWI to Annapolis page. Either way, the chauffeur is staged before the bags come off the belt.

How far is BWI from the Naval Academy?
About 27 to 30 miles via I-97 south to US-50 and Rowe Boulevard, typically 30 to 45 minutes. Ceremony days add time downtown, which we plan for.

As close to the Dock Street entrance as show-day closures allow, with a fixed pickup point agreed with your chauffeur for the return to BWI or your hotel.
