Best way to get to & from DCA
Hello, we'll have 8 people traveling from Fairfax VA area to DCa. We are 5 adults and 3 kids. Unfortunately I do not think all of us and all our luggage will fit into our mini van. I'm worried about doing super shuttles or thr other one due to horrible reviews. Can anyone tell me their experiences with a larger group and best service to use to get to airport and if we should reserve one for way back home or just go to stand? Thank you for your help.

Call Red Top Executive Sedan (not Red Top Taxi) and explain the exact # of people (including ages of the kids) and amount of luggage. You can get anything from a standard sedan (way too small) to a bus (way too large) and they quote in advance, are reliable and it is all handled on a CC, so no messing around on the trip.
You might want to compare it to two Uber XL's, but depending on time of day, you might not get two of those in a given location in Fairfax in the same time-frame. Pricing might not be much different either.
Lastly, ask around your friends & neighbors for a local one-off car service on which they rely. Word-of-mouth people can be very reliable because if they disappoint you, referrals is how they get business.
