Pickup at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Request when you’re ready to go

Choose a ride option that suits your group size and luggage storage needs. If you’re requesting UberX, UberPool, or Express Pool from Terminals 1-3, please follow Airport signage to Level 5 of the Parking Garage. If you’re requesting Uber Comfort, UberXL, Select, Black, Black SUV, or any product from the International Terminal, you may be picked up from the curb on the Departures level.

Meet your driver at a designated pickup location

For Terminals 1-3, UberX, UberPool, and Express Pool pickups take place on Level 5 of the Domestic Garage, while all other pickups at Terminals 1-3 are curbside on the Departures Level (2nd floor, domestic).

Comfort, XL, and Select pickups will take place curbside starting November 20, 2019. After that, these options will no longer pick up at Garage Level 5.

All pickups at the international terminal are on the 2nd curb on the Departures Level (3rd floor, international).

If you’re requesting from the curb (Comfort, XL, Select, Black, and Black SUV only), you may enter your terminal and door number so your driver knows where to find you.
