Where can I take Uber in Zurich Airport?

Taxi ranks can be found outside Arrivals halls 1 and 2. You can use the Uber app to order a ride at Zurich Airport. The pick-up area is outside the departure hall. Note that taxi drivers must be licenced in Zurich, so Uber rates are similar to standard taxis.



At Zurich Airport (ZRH), Uber pickups are concentrated in a specific, designated area to comply with local airport regulations. After collecting your luggage and clearing customs, you should follow the signs for "Ground Transportation" or "Taxis/Rideshare." The primary pickup point for Uber is located on the departure level (Level 2), specifically at the curbside near Check-in 1 or Check-in 2. Unlike many other airports where pickups happen at arrivals, Zurich requires rideshare drivers to use the departure lanes to maintain traffic flow. When you request a ride through the Uber app, it will provide you with a specific "gate" or numbered pillar where your driver will meet you. It is essential to wait until you are physically at the curb before requesting your ride, as the airport police are very strict about "loitering" in the pickup zones. For those wanting a more premium experience, Uber Black and Uber Premier drivers may sometimes offer meet-and-greet services inside the arrivals hall, but the standard UberX service is always handled at the designated curbside pillars.
