Uber Airport Service

Uber Airport Service: What you need to know

June 18, 2021

Did you know not all airports allow Uber, even if Uber is available in the city? Uber airport service can quickly be determined if you know where to look. I’ll be telling you exactly where this information is so you can prepare for your trip and know about Uber airport service. 

The most common reason why Uber is not allowed at the airport but is allowed in the city is usually because of one of the contract negotiations. To allow Uber airports, the city has determined that the taxi companies would lose a significant amount of money/traffic. This could also just be a balancing act with the taxi companies and the government so the city can approve Uber to operate there, without having problems with the taxi companies by allowing all the airport traffic to only be able to use taxis. 

Now, why do you want to use Uber airport when you get to your destination or if you’re traveling to an airport? There are a few reasons.

Uber Airport Advantages: 

First, you know how much is going to cost. If you’ve never used Uber, you need to confirm the cost of it in the app before a car picks you up.

Second, you can choose a bigger vehicle. If you’re traveling with more luggage or if you have a bigger group that also has luggage, you can choose one of the larger vehicles and feel confident everything is going to be able to fit. 

Third, you don’t need any cash. If you’re coming from the airport and you don’t have any cash with you just yet, you don’t have to worry. The fare goes automatically on your card through the app. This is also super convenient if you don’t have any cash left at the end of your trip and you’re going to the airport on the way home. This way you don’t have to worry about taking out some extra cash to be able to pay for that taxi. 

And lastly, you can schedule your Uber rides so you can book it the day before to make sure that you have it all set up and ready for you in the morning.

Finding Uber Airport Service

You want to look into this before you take your trip. This way you’re all set and you don’t have to figure it out while you’re abroad.  To find this information you want to go to: Uber.com. On the home page go into the products tab and click on ride. From here scroll down and click on Search Airports. Once on this page you’ll  see it says 600 plus airports. Scroll down to find the country you are visiting and see if that city is available for Uber airport service. You can also use the quick links by choosing the continent you are going to and then searching for the country and city from there. 

Once you find the city you are going to, you can click on that airport and it will give you more information about reserving and getting an Uber airport service, what’s available and any other information you may need about getting an Uber at this airport. This is the simple way to find it when you are at home. 

Now if you’ve already arrived at your destination or you don’t have a computer, you’ll be able to look this up on the app very quickly as well. Make sure you have your uber account all set up prior to leaving on your trip, then you can just tap open the app. Once the app opens, tap the three bars for the top menu. Scroll down to press the help tab. In the help section tap more and then go down to the third option which is using Uber at the airport. It will give you a bunch of information and tips about using Uber at the airport and then you click on the hyperlink and it will take you straight to that page that I showed you earlier in your browser.
