Can I get an Uber at Boston Logan Airport?

Passengers can use their favorite ride app to get picked up or dropped-off at Boston Logan International Airport. Please be aware that there are designated areas for ride app pickups and drop-offs at the airport.



Yes, you can easily get an Uber at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), but the pickup process is highly regulated and requires you to follow specific signs. All rideshare pickups (Uber and Lyft) at Logan take place in designated "Ride App" areas. For Terminals A, C, and E, these pickup points are located in the Central Parking Garage. For Terminal B, the pickup area is located on the second level of the Terminal B Parking Garage. Once you have collected your luggage, you should follow the bright purple "Ride App" signs through the elevated pedestrian walkways that lead to the garages. Do not wait at the curbside outside the baggage claim, as drivers are prohibited from picking up passengers there. Because the garages are a few minutes' walk from the terminals, it is recommended to wait until you are near the designated area before requesting your ride in the app.
