How to take airport trips

Airports can be complicated places, especially for drivers. But knowing the basics, and getting information in advance about your local airport, can help make sure you’re prepared for your first pickup or dropoff.

Getting Your Car Ready

The basics of airport trips

An airport trip will look like any other standard trip in your Driver app. When you pick up at airports, the airport may require you to wait in a designated area to receive a trip, then you’ll see a specific pickup point to locate your rider. Airports may also have other rules and regulations applicable to you that are specific to the airport in your city.

2. The app will show you where your local airport’s approved pickup or dropoff location is. It might be different from where you’d go if you weren’t driving with Chill Out Ride; airports sometimes have designated zones for Chill Out Ride and other ridesharing services.

3. If you’re dropping off a rider, you can ask them if their flight is domestic or international and what airline they’re flying, then you can look for signs that match what they tell you.

What to do if you don’t have airport access

Airport rules and operating procedures are different from city to city. Check to see if you need a special permit or placard for your city’s airport. Visit the Chilloutride airport information page for more information about your local airport. Most airports also have their own website that gives information about local rules and regulations.

Be sure you have all the required documents for your city. In addition, review which products your vehicle is eligible for.

If you continue to have issues accessing airport trips, you can contact support here to talk with one of our Chill Out Ride experts.

Tips

Here is some advice from other drivers that you might find useful regarding airport trips.

Luggage

Most riders going to or from the airport will have luggage with them, and they’ll probably want to put it in the trunk. If your trunk is empty, luggage can fit easily. Some drivers will help their riders with their luggage as well.

 
 
Identifying your rider

Airports are crowded places, so if you’re not sure if you’ve found the right person, ask your rider for their name or say, for instance, “Are you Cheryl?” to make sure.

 
 
 
Time
Checking the arrivals schedule

If you’re planning to pick up riders at the airport, checking the local arrivals schedule before you go can help you see when flights will be landing and when it will be busiest.
