Passenger Pick-up

Passengers can be picked up at the curbside of the arrivals level of the terminal or met inside of the terminal.

Drivers have two options to pick up passengers:

  • Park and wait at no cost in the Cell Phone lot until arriving passengers have called you to tell you they're waiting at the curb
  • Park in the Terminal Garage and meet passengers inside of the terminal

  • Exit the Cell Phone Lot and follow signs to the arrivals level of the terminal
