Can you Uber from 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 Uber from Boston Logan (BOS), but you must follow the airport's strict Central Parking pick-up rules. In 2026, Logan has centralized all ride-share pickups (Uber and Lyft) to reduce terminal congestion. If you are at Terminals A, C, or E, you must follow the "App Ride/Ride Share" signs to the Central Parking Garage, which involves a 5- to 10-minute walk via elevated walkways. If you are at Terminal B, the pickup is located on the second level of the Terminal B Garage. Uber prices from Logan to downtown Boston typically range from $25 to $45, depending on traffic and surge pricing. A special 2026 feature is the "Accessible Curbside" rule: passengers with mobility disabilities can request a curbside pickup at the arrivals level, but this must be specified in the app and may require a brief wait for the driver to be cleared by Massport security to enter the restricted zone.
