What is the least expensive way to get from Dulles airport to Virginia beach, VA

Upvote:2

You might want to check out Rome2Rio, which is often useful for this type of query. The cheapest itinerary they show is:

  • DC Metro (buses & trains) from Dulles to Union Station
  • MegaBus from Union Station to Hampton, changing buses in Richmond, and
  • Hampton Roads Transit from Hampton to Virginia Beach, transferring in Norfolk.

The MegaBus will cost about $30 for both buses (fares vary depending on the time of day, but this was the cheapest I saw); the DC Metro will cost $7–$9 depending on the itinerary and the time of day; and the Hampton Transit will cost you $3.50 ($1.75 per ride). So the total cost is about $40–$45 one way.

Note that there appears to only be one bus a day from Richmond to Hampton, leaving at 12:55 PM; give MegaBus's schedule, you'll have to be at DC Union Station by 10 AM to catch it.

Far and away: rent a car. The rental market in the DC area is very competitive. Last time I was there, in March, I paid $12 a day for a Hyundai. Gas in Virginia is as low as $1.30 a gallon.

Don't let them sell you add-ons, that's where they getcha!
