Does Uber pick up from Orlando airport?

Do drivers using Uber pick up at MCO? Yes. Go to this list of airports around the world where you can request a ride with Uber.



Yes, Uber (along with Lyft and other rideshare services) is fully authorized to pick up passengers at Orlando International Airport (MCO). In 2026, the pickup locations are specifically designated to manage traffic flow: for Terminals A and B, you should head to the Arrivals Curb (Level 2); for the newer Terminal C, pickups occur at the Arrivals Curb (Level 6). Between the hours of 9:00 PM and 2:00 AM, some pickups may also be permitted at the Departures Curb to ease congestion. When you request a ride, the Uber app will provide specific instructions and a "Ride App Pickup" door number to help you find your driver. It is important to note that Uber drivers at MCO operate on a "First-In, First-Out" (FIFO) system, meaning they wait in a nearby staging lot until a request is made. Because MCO is one of the busiest airports in the U.S., wait times are usually very short, but you should always confirm the vehicle's license plate and driver's name before entering the car to ensure a safe and authorized journey.
