Where is the best place to get an Uber from Lisbon Airport?

Uber and Ridesharing from Lisbon Airport Ridesharing drivers are only allowed to pick up passengers at a specific location -- the P2 parking area outside the arrivals hall. When you exit the baggage area, turn left and walk outside towards the P2 park (about a 1-minute walk). Wait there for your driver.



The best and only designated place to catch an Uber at Lisbon Airport (LIS) is the P2 Short-Stay Car Park. After you exit the Arrivals hall, you must turn immediately LEFT and follow the signs for "Uber/Bolt" or "P2." You will pass a Starbucks on your left—this is your primary landmark. Take the elevator or escalator up to the departures level and cross the pedestrian bridge into the parking garage. The pickup zone is clearly marked with ride-sharing logos and is often bustling with travelers. In 2026, it is highly recommended to wait until you are physically inside the P2 garage before requesting your ride, as the airport's free Wi-Fi can be spotty and drivers are not allowed to wait in the arrivals curb area. To ensure a smooth pickup, message your driver with your pillar number (e.g., "I'm at Pillar B4"). This avoids the common confusion of searching for a specific silver sedan among dozens of identical vehicles in the dimly lit garage.
