Commute out of IAD. How to park?

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Gents,

Know any worry free, cost effective ways to park to commute out of IAD?

Thanks,

Rez.

You might be able to talk to some hotels around the airport. I've heard some people do that. Or just talk to the airport to see how much the lot is for all the airport emp!

IAD parking

A couple of thoughts....
1. Park at one of the surface Metro stations (East Falls Church for example). It costs nothing to get into the lot, and $3.85 or so to get out (you need a pre-paid metro card to open the gate-the kind made of plastic that you simply wave over the spot). Ride to West Falls Church (orange line), leave the station, and get on the Washington Flyer bus ($3.00) with airline ID. Viola, you're at IAD in about 20 minutes.
P.S. East Falls Church station is accessible from I-66 just east of the beltway. You might also be able to find street parking just a few minutes walk from the station.


2. If you're in a pinch, both the Orange and Red employee lots in Dulles have no gates. Employees have a hangtag on the mirror, but there is no telling how often the lots are patrolled to enforce violations: you might get lucky.
Good luck!

I parked my car at the Herndon-Reston Park/Ride garage and took the bus to IAD (about a 10 minute ride). Left the car there for 3 weeks (Flightsafety initial) and nobody f***ed with it. Not sure I would do that again, but it's just an FYI that it worked for me once.

Cost of parking: $0. Cost of bus: $3. Hassle Factor: Minimal.
