Top questions about CNS Airport

  • We recommend getting to the airport 3 hours early for international travel. Be sure to check estimated travel times when you schedule your pickup so you get to the airport on time.

  • At most airports, your Uber driver-partner will take you directly to the standard passenger dropoff area (departures/ticketing area) based on your selected terminal and/or airline. Feel free to let your driver-partner know if you'd prefer a different location or specific door.

  • If you request pickup now, the cost of an Uber trip to CNS Airport depends on factors that include the type of ride you request, the estimated length and duration of the trip, tolls, city fees, and current demand for rides.

    You can get an estimate of the price before you request by going to our price estimator and entering your pickup spot and destination. Then when you request a ride, you’ll get your actual price in the app based on real-time factors.

    If you reserve a ride, you'll be shown the price up front and lock in the cost. Unless there are changes in route, duration, or distance, the price you get is the price you’ll pay.

  • Yes. Go to our CNS Airport pickup page for more information.

  • No, but you can view other dropoff ride options once you provide your trip information above.

  • Your driver has directions to your destination (including the fastest way to get there), but you can always request a specific route. Tolls may apply.

  • Yes, you can request to have multiple stops during your ride. Choose the plus sign next to the destination field in the app to add multiple stops.

  • Uber is available 24/7. For early or late flights, there may be longer driver-partner arrival times. Reserving in advance is the best way to help ensure that you'll have a ride to the airport.*

  • Driver-partners are not guaranteed to have car seats available, but riders may provide their own. Get more information about our safety policies.

  • Service animals are allowed, and Uber drivers may not refuse a trip because of the presence of one. For pets, however, it’s recommended that you select the Uber Pet option when choosing your ride. Uber Pet is also available with Uber Reserve rides.

    Otherwise, it’s up to the discretion of the driver; once a driver is matched, you can message them in the app to make sure. Get more information about our safety policies.
