Top questions about RDU car service

  • Wait times depend on demand in the area, traffic conditions, the type of ride you request, and other factors. We recommend checking the booking screen for estimated pickup times.

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

  • The grace period for you to meet your driver depends on the ride option you choose. For UberX, Uber Comfort, and UberXL, you can avoid wait time fees by meeting your driver within 2 minutes of their arrival. For Uber Black, Uber Black SUV, Uber Premier, and Uber Premier SUV, you will have 5 minutes to get to the vehicle. You will be assessed per-minute wait time fees beyond that. Riders with a disability can request a wait time fee waiver. Get more information here.

    If you’re unfamiliar with the layout of the airport or where the rideshare pickup point is, we recommend requesting a ride when you’re closer to exiting the departures gate.
