Could some one give me an estimate of the fare from DCA to Union station before tip?
TIA

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/interactives/taxifares/ is usually pretty accurate. It says a $13.00 with traffic but it could be even more with traffic. I would say no more than $15 though.

Bear in mind there is a DCA taxi surcharge. I think $1.75.

Your base fare will probably be $14.00 - $17.00.

If you are not time sensitive, Metro might work. You will want to take the Yellow Line and transfer at Gallery Place to the Red Line.

I agree with the above, unless you get a Virginia taxi instead of a DC one, then I would add about $2. I've noticed, for example, that on Saturday evenings the taxis at DCA tend not to be from the District. The large majority of the time you will get a DC cab.

I believe the surcharge is $2.50 currently. (here are all of the different taxi rates: http://dctransitguide.com/dc-taxicabs/ Like a previous poster said, Virginia cabs will run a couple dollars higher, but that probably isn't worth worrying about. It's a short trip in any case.

Or Blue Line and change at Metro Station. Just be prepared for long escalator and/or elevator rides in the stations.

Or Blue Line and change to the Red Line at Metro Station. I would probably prefer the Yellow Line, just for the ride above ground over the Potomac, and a slightly shorter ride overall, but would usually just grab the first train that came into the airport station, Yellow or Blue. Just be prepared for long escalator and/or elevator rides in the stations.

If by Metro, definitely take the Yellow line to Chinatown and transfer to Red. You'll save a boatload of time.

Wouldn't worry about that.

Taking the Blue means about an additional 15 minutes, plus you're in the blue/orange line hell....
