Driving at Tri Cities Airport (PSC)

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

Per PSC regulations, driver-partners must adhere to the terms below. Failure to do so may result in the receipt of a citation or even restriction of access to airport trips. Please note that Uber will not pay for any citations that driver-partners may incur.

  • A copy of the city issued for hire permits for each driver-partner operating at the airport must be submitted to the airport administration office.
  • When on airport property, the Uber driver app must be open at all times (driver-partners must not go Offline until exiting the airport area).
  • Driver-partners must use the allowed pickup and dropoff locations only.

Pro tips

  • 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.

Pickups at the airport

It is easy to receive trip requests from riders leaving the airport. However, these trips work a little differently than other requests.

Waiting for requests

When on airport property, please be mindful of:

  • Waiting in the areas in and around airport grounds, but avoid loitering at the terminal curb. The airport suggests drivers use the short term parking area.
  • Respecting the waiting areas of taxi or shuttle operators.
  • If the airport is crowded, consider contacting your rider using the Uber driver app to confirm their exact location.

Picking up your rider

Once you accept a trip request, the pickup location at PSC is located at the curb on the south end of the terminal building just pass the pedestrian crossing(see map below).

Dropoffs at the airport

Based on the operating agreement with PSC, riders can be dropped off at the curb in front of the terminal building.
