My experience is similar to that of DC Patti's on this one: I live in DC, and a Virginia cab is usually about $3 more expensive than a DC cab. (I live on 14th Street not far from downtown.) Now, I always ask for a DC cab, even if the line is long. The dispatchers don't seem to mind, and normally a DC cab will come shortly.
