Can Uber pick up at Philadelphia airport?

If you plan to use Uber, Lyft, or another app-based ride service after landing at PHL, proceed through Baggage Claim and follow the Ground Transportation signs for Ride App/Zone 7. Ride App pick-up zones are located on the S. Commercial Road outside of each Baggage Claim.



Yes, Uber is authorized to pick up passengers at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), but you must follow specific ground transportation rules. After landing and collecting your luggage, you should head to the Arrivals road and follow the signs for "Ride App" or Zone 7. Each terminal has a designated pickup area located on the South Commercial Road, which runs parallel to the baggage claim exits. Specifically, pickups occur at Terminal A (East and West), B, C, D, E, and F. It is important to wait until you are physically at the designated zone before requesting your ride to ensure your driver can find you easily. Additionally, PHL offers a "ReMatch" feature, which allows drivers who have just dropped off a passenger to receive a pickup request immediately, often resulting in shorter wait times for you.
