Starting Monday, October 1, UberX, UberXL, and Select pickups at SNA (John Wayne Airport) are moving to the parking structures on the Departures Level. You can meet your riders for pickup at Level 3 of their terminal’s designated parking structure.
The pickup location at SNA Airport depends on which terminal your rider requests a ride from. You can find the designated pickup area on Level 3 of each terminal’s parking structure:
- You can meet Terminal A riders at Parking Structure A2

How to get to your pickup location.
