Airport Shuttles
If you are planning to fly to
Maryland, you will want to search for flights to the following three
airports. This information should help you find the best price on a
flight. We typically fly into and out of BWI, unless we find a
better price at one of the other airports.
Based on information from one
shuttle company, the cost of an airport shuttle bus to Rockville
will cost $33 (+ tip) for an individual. Each additional person
would cost $11. The cost of a rental car is about $21-30 per day
depending on the type of car you rent.
Local tip: Tune your radio to
103.5FM for traffic updates.
