Can Uber go to 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. Please select your terminal below to learn more about where to find ride app locations when you travel.



Yes, Uber is fully authorized to operate at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), but there are very specific "Ride App" rules for both pick-ups and drop-offs. For drop-offs, your driver can take you directly to the departures curb of your specific terminal (A, B, C, or E) just like a regular taxi. However, for pick-ups, you must follow the purple "Ride App" signs to the designated zones, which are typically located in the Central Parking Garage for most terminals. Terminal B has its own specific pick-up zone within its dedicated parking garage. In 2026, the airport has streamlined these zones with color-coded "Meeting Points" to help riders find their drivers in the busy garage environment. It is a high-value tip to wait until you have collected your luggage before requesting your ride, as the walk to the Central Parking Garage can take 5 to 10 minutes depending on your terminal. If you have mobility issues, you can request an "Accessible" pick-up, which allows the Uber to meet you directly at the terminal curb.
