Driving at El Salvador International Airport (SAL)

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

It’s simple to receive passenger trips leaving the airport!

To facilitate the meeting between driver-partners and passengers at Salvador Airport, the central pedestrian crossing on the second road was designated as a meeting point.

Virtual queue for drivers

Uber partners should only wait for ride requests in the highlighted area. Entering the designated area, keep in mind that:

  • You will join a virtual queue.
  • Your position in the queue is dependent on your order of arrival in the highlighted zone. Therefore, the first to enter is the first to receive a request.
  • Partners who have just dropped off a user at the airport can have priority in the virtual queue.
  • If you leave the area or go offline, you will be placed at the end of the queue
  • Be careful not to stop in prohibited places, as you may be fined.

How airport trips work

1. Accepting and taking trips happens the same way as usual.

2. The app will show you where your local airport’s approved pickup or dropoff location is. It might be different from where you’d go if you weren’t driving with Uber; airports sometimes have designated zones for Uber and other ridesharing services.

3. If you’re dropping off a rider, you can ask them if their flight is domestic or international and what airline they’re flying, then you can look for signs that match what they tell you.
