Are there Ubers at the Burbank airport?

Pickup at Bob Hope Airport (BUR) When you're ready, open the Uber app to request a ride to your destination. Choose the BUR airport transportation option that suits your group size and luggage needs.



Yes, Uber and Lyft are fully operational at Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in 2026, but there is a specific high-value process for pickups. Unlike many larger airports, Burbank is known for its "easy-in, easy-out" layout. Once you collect your luggage, you must follow the signs for "Ground Transportation" and head to the dedicated Rideshare Pickup Zone, which is located on the ground level of the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC). To get there, you will take the elevated moving walkway from the terminal directly to the RITC. This walk takes about 5 to 7 minutes. A peer-to-peer tip for 2026: because BUR is a smaller airport, wait times for an Uber are usually very short, but "Surge Pricing" can still occur during peak arrival banks. For a high-value alternative, the Burbank Airport-South train station is right across the street, offering a very cheap connection to Downtown LA, but if you value "door-to-door" convenience, the Uber pickup at the RITC remains the most seamless way to reach your destination in the San Fernando Valley or beyond.
