Airport pickup tips and advice? How do I find my Uber at the airport?

Here are great Airport Pickup Tips and Advice

1) Rideshare Choices: Check which rideshare options are available

Use RideGuru's Calculator or check this article: "What Rideshares are Available at Airports."

2) Designated Pickup Areas: Look for the Pickup Spot

Many larger airports now have designated pickup areas for rideshares.  They are labeled as "TNC/Rideshares" and usually are near the baggage claims, on the arrival floor, and "Ground Transportation" signs.

If you do not see such signs, follow the signs to Ground Transportation or look in your Uber App upon arrival at the airport.  They often display instructions on where to go.

3) Requesting a Ride: Wait until pickup spot to call a driver

You should wait until you have arrived at the pickup areas (or curbside) before requesting a ride.  The waiting time at airports are usually under 5 minutes, as drivers are often nearby or waiting in a designated queue.

Most airports usually have drivers readily available at all hours of the day, even late into the night or early in the morning. (good article)

4) Vehicle Information: Look them up in the app

Once you have requested the ride and you have been matched up with a driver, look for the following information to help you identify the information

• Car Make and Model
• Car Color
• License Plate 

This information will help you identify the car as it approaches.

5) Drivers: Contact your driver

Try messaging or calling the driver with information such as:

• Letter of the Terminal
• Number or Code identifying your location, such as Door #, Island #, Pikcup Area #, etc.
• Your appearance.

Good luck!
