Is Uber allowed at MCO 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. How much will an Uber trip to MCO cost?



Yes, Uber is fully authorized to operate at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in 2026, but there are specific designated zones for pickups to prevent terminal congestion. If you are arriving at Terminals A or B, you must head to the Arrivals Curb (Level 2); your Uber app will give you a specific door number (typically between doors 4 and 15) once you match with a driver. If you are at the newer Terminal C, pickups are located on Level 6 at the designated rideshare curb. Between 9:00 PM and 2:00 AM, MCO also allows "Departure Level" pickups on Level 3 to help manage the late-night surge of travelers. It is important to note that a $5.80 "airport surcharge" is automatically added to your fare by the airport authority. For the smoothest 2026 experience, it is recommended to wait until you have collected your luggage before requesting your ride, as drivers are only allowed to wait at the curb for a few minutes.
