Parking at Georgetown end

I'm considering parking my vehicle at the Georgetown end of the trail, taking the train back to Pittsburgh, then riding to DC. I like to have the shuttle at the beginning of the trip. Do you have any recommendations on parking near Georgetown?

This question has been asked a few times on this forum and I’ve not seen a response as to where you would find free parking in DC. In the past some have suggested parking at Reagan National Airport might be your best option. You can easily ride your bike from Georgetown to Reagan Airport. The economy lot there charges $19 per day and a reservation is recommended. Hopefully, a reader living in DC can give you a better/cheaper response.

As a DC area resident I concur with Rivnuts. "Economy" parking at Reagan National is most likely your least expensive yet secure parking. Free longterm parking in Georgetown DC? To quote Tony Soprano "fuggetaboutit".
