How to take airport trips
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.
Know before you go
Before your first airport pickup, check with Uber to see if you need a special permit or placard for your airport.
Picking up riders
The app will show you the pickup location allowed by airport rules. Note: it might differ from where you would usually meet friends and family.
Dropping off riders
When taking a rider to the airport, drivers have told us that there are 2 useful questions they ask riders: which airline they’re flying and whether they're flying domestic or international. Then you can look for signs to your rider's terminal and the airline's departures area.
Waiting at the airport
After you have finished an airport dropoff, the app will often direct you to a lot where you can go if you want to wait for an airport pickup request. At certain airports, you might even have the option of picking up someone right away without entering the waiting lot.
