Driving at Portland International Jetport Airport (PWM)

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.

Airport regulations

Information for driver-partners

Riders at PWM can request Uber when leaving the airport. Learn how to receive these trip requests and get in on the action.

  • Driver cancellations: Trip cancellations can take away from the great Uber experience that both riders and driver-partners expect. Please remember that driver-partners who improperly use the app and intentionally disrupt the service, including excessively canceling rides or asking riders to cancel rides, may lose the ability to receive trip requests to and from the airport through the Uber Driver app.
  • Ground transportation and airport security staff: Airport rules are as important as traffic rules. Airports expect Driver-partners to follow the instructions of the airport staff.
  • Uber has instituted a driver queue zone at Portland International Jetport (PWM). To enter the queue zone and be eligible to receive an airport trip request, driver-partners are required to be in the rideshare waiting area, located within the airport’s Cell Phone lot. Signage in the lot will indicate which spaces are dedicated for Rideshare drivers. Driver-partners waiting elsewhere will not receive trip requests through the Uber driver app.
