Ride shares are another convenient way to get to and from the airport, especially if you’re traveling light or heading straight to a downtown dinner, hotel, or campus stop. Simply open your preferred ride share app after landing and request a pickup. 

Where to meet your driver:
Ride share pickups typically take place in the passenger pickup area just outside the terminal. 

Travel Tip: During peak times, you may see slightly longer wait times or higher fares. If you have a tight schedule, consider booking a rental car or GLTC Flex in advance.
