Driving at Harrisburg International Airport (MDT)

Airports can be complicated places, especially for drivers. But knowing the basics, and getting information in advance about your local airport, can help make sure you’re prepared for your first pickup or dropoff.

Pickups at the airport

How pickup requests work

It’s easy to receive trip requests from riders leaving the airport. However, these trips work a little differently than other requests. To receive a trip request at the airport, you need to enter the third floor of the parking garage, where you will be placed in a digital queue to receive a pickup request from the airport.

Here’s how it works:

  • Drive to the third level of the parking garage near the terminal.
  • You’ll be placed in line for the next pickup—pickups work on a first-in, first-out basis.
  • Once you receive a request, accept it, and pick up your rider on the third level of the parking garage.
  • Riders will be instructed to meet drivers on the third floor, but consider contacting your rider to confirm their exact location.

Dropoffs at the airport

How dropoff requests work

At the airport, simply drop off riders at the public passenger dropoff curb in front of the terminals. It’s important to keep the Uber Driver app on until you exit airport property.

Staging information

Upon entering the airport area, you will be put into a digital first-in, first-out queue. Your position in the queue will be shown in-app.

In order to receive trip requests, driver-partners will need to be inside the airport parking garage. Please note: if the parking garage is empty, the first person in the queue may receive an airport request in the surrounding area.

Keep in mind:

  • Parking fees will be waived if you enter and exit the parking garage within 10 minutes or if you exit within 30 minutes with a passenger.
  • Upon exiting through the staffed booth, you will need to display your Uber placard and possibly your electronic waybill, accessible through the app.
  • If you do not meet the requirements above, you (not the rider) will be required to pay the parking fee.
  • If a rider cancels, you will still be at the front of the queue as long as you do not leave the airport grounds, sign offline, or reject/cancel a trip.
