How to get around Uber Airport bans: Take a taxi ride just outside the airport and from there get an Uber ride. It's still much cheaper.
Perfect Example: Orlando International Airport, is a jail. It has no sidewalks leading in or out of the airport. It's about 1 mile of 60mph road and ramps leading in and out of the airport with NO shoulders and NO sidewalks. Look it up on Google Maps. It's impossible to leave. After 11pm I arrive and the buses are not working, friend can't pick me up. A 6 mile taxi ride is $55 dollars! Uber ride is about $12. I try to hop on the Parking Spot / Rental car shuttles to get just outside the airport ban radius but they've caught on and no one will let me on. I'm not paying $55.
So I just grabbed a taxi and had him drop me off just outside the airport at a Denny's. Cost: $13 for 1 mile. Grabbed an Uber for the remainder of the trip which was $11. Paid $24 instead of $55.

- MicroBerto 11y agoNot at LAX. Minimum fare is $17, which is ridiculous if you are going somewhere near the airport. Someone else commented on that. Good night taxi industry. It hasn't been fun and it wasn't good knowing ya!
- HappyTypist 11y agoMuch easier way: Put your pin near the airport, and call the driver saying you're actually at the airport. I have done this dozens of times. No driver has ever refused.
