Airport Staging Areas - Pick-up Riders for Medium-to-Long Trips

Medium-to-large airports and nearby hotel strips are excellent locations to pick-up riders. At airports be sure to wait in the designated Staging Area and display your airport authorization sign in the front windshield of your vehicle. Most airports have clusters of medium-high end hotels near by. All are fruitful ground for rider requests. The ideal scenario is that a driver takes a passenger from city-center to the airport departures deck usually a 10-20 mile trip then moves to the Staging Area just a short distance away to briefly wait for a new rider request from the arrivals deck at the airport. While driver are not informed in advance of a rider's destination people arriving at airports typically rider another 10-20 miles away from the airport to their destination. If you can perform the driving scenario above at peak surge times all the better. This will boost your productivity and your income. Let's here from other drivers about their experiences driving to and from airports. Send comments to Uber Driver Best Practices.
