Professional, well-maintained vehicles for every occasion and group size. From executive sedans for solo airport runs to full motorcoaches for large corporate events — DC Black Cars operates throughout Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland.
Selecting the correct vehicle ensures your experience meets expectations and avoids issues at pickup. Use the guidance below to match your party size, luggage, and occasion to the right vehicle class. If you are unsure, call 202-972-0003 — our team will recommend the right vehicle for your specific trip.
Luggage is not permitted in the passenger cabin of any vehicle. This applies to all vehicle classes without exception.
If your luggage volume requires cabin space, please book the next vehicle class up. A client traveling with checked baggage and carry-on should book an SUV, not a sedan.
If the booked vehicle cannot safely or comfortably accommodate the actual passenger count or luggage volume at pickup, DC Black Cars reserves the right to upgrade to the appropriate vehicle class at the corresponding rate. Passenger counts and luggage should be accurately represented at the time of booking. If you are unsure which vehicle is right for your trip, call 202-972-0003 before booking.
All stated passenger capacities are based on average-sized adults in standard attire. For formal events where guests are in gowns, suits, or formal wear, we recommend booking one passenger tier below the stated maximum for comfort. A stretch rated for 14 passengers in casual attire may seat 10 to 12 comfortably in formal wear.
