What is a terminal drop off charge?

How the Terminal Drop-Off Charge works. Terminal Drop-Off Charges apply to the passenger drop-off zones in front of the terminal buildings – zones also known as the terminal forecourts. There are signs on the roads in and around the airport to let drivers know the chargeable zones.

With “take you,” maybe I'll wait for you if you needed to pick something or someone up at the airport, or maybe we'll do something together at the airport, or maybe I'm actually just dropping you off there.
