Preakness Stakes Transportation
IAD Airport Limo provides private chauffeured transportation to the Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park in 2026; the rebuilt Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore from 2027, covering the Preakness Stakes, Black-Eyed Susan Day and InfieldFest. The chauffeur takes For Laurel Park, MD-198 and Race Track Road off the BW Parkway or I-95; for Pimlico, Northern Parkway from I-83 or I-695 and Park Heights Avenue, delivers you to the entrance and returns to a pre-arranged pickup point clear of the exit traffic.

Dates
The Preakness runs on the third Saturday in May, with Black-Eyed Susan Day the Friday before. The 2026 running was held at Laurel Park while Pimlico is rebuilt, and the race is scheduled to return to the new Pimlico on Park Heights Avenue in May 2027 — confirm the venue when you book.
Parking
Preakness parking is limited, permit-heavy and expensive at either track, exits are police-managed with rolling closures, and rideshare pickup zones sit a long walk from the gates in the post-race crush.
Pickup and drop-off
We drop at the clubhouse or general-admission gate and stage the vehicle at a pre-set corner outside the closure perimeter — on Race Track Road or MD-198 at Laurel, or on Northern Parkway at Pimlico — so the ride home starts within minutes of the last race.
Nearby: Laurel Park and the Laurel Main Street restaurants, the Inner Harbor and Harbor East hotels, Mount Washington and Roland Park, the BWI airport hotels, Federal Hill and Columbia and the Merriweather District.
Why hire a chauffeur
Race day means a crowd, a dress code and a toast — none of which mixes with driving. A chauffeur handles the closures and the parking, keeps the party together in a Sprinter or limousine and brings everyone home after the winner's circle.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the chauffeur drop off and pick up at the Preakness Stakes?
We drop at the clubhouse or general-admission gate and stage the vehicle at a pre-set corner outside the closure perimeter — on Race Track Road or MD-198 at Laurel, or on Northern Parkway at Pimlico — so the ride home starts within minutes of the last race.
How much does the Preakness transportation cost?
Point-to-point trips are one flat rate by vehicle and pickup address; if you want the car to wait through the event, we quote an hourly rate with a minimum instead. Either way the price is confirmed before you book and never surges on event night. Call (877) 609-1919 for a quote.
When is the Preakness busiest?
The Preakness runs on the third Saturday in May, with Black-Eyed Susan Day the Friday before. The 2026 running was held at Laurel Park while Pimlico is rebuilt, and the race is scheduled to return to the new Pimlico on Park Heights Avenue in May 2027 — confirm the venue when you book.
Can you carry a group to the Preakness Stakes?
Yes. Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs seat six, Mercedes Sprinter vans carry up to 14 and stretch limousines seat eight; larger parties ride in multiple coordinated vehicles that arrive together.
What about parking at the Preakness Stakes?
Preakness parking is limited, permit-heavy and expensive at either track, exits are police-managed with rolling closures, and rideshare pickup zones sit a long walk from the gates in the post-race crush. With a chauffeur there is nothing to park.
