Driving at Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)

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.

Pickups at ACY

How pickup requests work

It is easy to receive trip requests from riders leaving ACY airport. However, these trips work a little differently than other requests.

Waiting for requests

To receive pickup requests at Atlantic City International Airport, enter the Cell Phone Lot to wait for a trip. Once in the staging lot, drivers receive ride requests via a virtual first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue. See map below.

Some things to know about FIFO queues:

  • Your location within the waiting lot does not affect your position in the virtual queue
  • When you’re in the designated waiting areas, you’ll be able to see your position in the queue and how many partners are ahead of you in your Uber Driver app
  • 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)
  • You may wait in the Cell Phone Lot for up to 4 hours
  • Parking or idling at terminals or elsewhere on airport property is strictly forbidden and does not enter you into the trip queue. Doing this may result in a citation. Uber does not pay for citations issued to drivers for illegally parking at airports

Picking up your rider

When you receive a notification you have a pickup request, follow the directions in your Uber Driver app.

  • As you approach the pickup area, the app will indicate your rider information and location where he or she is waiting
  • Terminal areas can be crowded at times. Once you arrive at the pickup location, if you can’t find your rider, message or call them through your Uber Driver app to let them know where you are

Dropoffs at ACY

How drop offs work

Dropping off riders at Atlantic City International Airport is easy. Simply follow the in-app instructions and drop your rider off at their desired location.

Note that waiting in the terminal area, parking illegally, and idling on the shoulder may result in a citation.
