Charlottesville, VA · Graduation
University of Virginia Graduation Transportation
University of Virginia families flying into Dulles for Finals Weekend, move-in day or a family-visit weekend consistently find the same problem: Charlottesville is roughly two hours from the airport, rental cars during graduation weekend are scarce and overpriced, and rideshare availability thins out fast once thousands of families descend on Grounds at once. We solve it with one pre-booked, flat-rate reservation that covers the airport pickup and the full round trip.

Finals Weekend and move-in day
UVA's Finals Weekend and move-in days are the two highest-demand dates we run for Charlottesville, and both strain the area's rental-car supply and rideshare availability at the same time thousands of other families are trying to book the same thing. We recommend booking the round trip as soon as your travel dates are set — often weeks ahead for Finals Weekend.
A typical booking covers the Dulles arrival, two to four days in Charlottesville with transportation available as needed, and the return trip to Dulles for departure — all quoted as one flat package rather than piecing together separate rides.
The Dulles-to-Charlottesville drive
The trip covers about 110 miles via I-66 west and US-29 south, typically 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes depending on traffic through Warrenton and Culpeper. We track your inbound flight from wheels-up so a delay doesn't turn into a missed window for the drive down.
