Airport regulations
Airport regulations for Uber partners
Per airport regulations, drivers must adhere to the terms below. Failure to follow these rules may result in a suspension or revocation of your ability to conduct pick ups at the airport, in accordance with airport regulations.
- You must wait for airport ride requests in the designated Uber staging lot. Click here for directions.
- You must load and unload passengers within the designated Loading and Unloading Zones at the airport, Marriott hotel, and fixed base operator facility.
- There is no soliciting permitted on airport property.
- Be respectful and courteous to other drivers and to Airport Authority Personnel.
- When on airport property, the Uber Driver App must be open at all times (please do not log off until you exit the airport).
- You may be asked to show your waybill. To access it, tap the “info” button that appears in your app.
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.

How pickup requests work
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
Uber’s technology uses a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue. This means that, in order to receive a trip request, you need to enter the designated waiting area, located within a “FIFO zone”. You will then be placed in a virtual queue where the first driver-partner to enter will be the first to receive a trip request.
Based on the operating agreement with the airport, the FIFO zone covers all airport grounds, as shown in the map.
Some things to know about FIFO queues:
- Proximity to the terminal within the FIFO zone does not create an advantage for driver-partners or move you closer to the top of the queue.
- If there are no driver-partners in the FIFO zone, trip requests will go to Uber driver-partners in the area - outside of the FIFO zone - based on - - proximity and other factors.
- You can lose your place in line if:
- You go offline on your Uber driver app
- You drive outside the FIFO zone
- You do not accept multiple incoming trip requests in a row
- You cancel multiple rides (if the rider cancels, you will remain at the top of the queue)
Picking up your rider
Once you accept a trip request, all pickups must occur within the designated Loading Zones at the airport, Marriott hotel, and fixed base operator facility (FBO).
Dropoffs at the airport
Rides to the airport
How dropoff requests work
Based on the operating agreement with the airport, riders can be dropped off at the curb by the main entrance. If you’d like to receive a trip request afterward, you’ll need to keep the Uber driver app on to maintain your place in the FIFO queue.
All dropoffs must occur within the designated Loading Zones at the airport, Marriott hotel, and fixed base operator facility (FBO).
