Inside-terminal meet & greet costs $25 per airport pickup, and child seats cost $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, up to 2 per booking. Curbside pickup is included. Choose meet & greet and any child seats when you request the ride.
| Selected option | Published charge |

Choose Meet and Greet for a named greeting inside the terminal. Review the Child Seat Policy when adding seats, and include children in the passenger count for the chosen class.
Waiting
How much airport waiting is included?
Airport pickups include 60 minutes of domestic or 90 minutes of international waiting from the flight’s landing time. Real-time flight tracking keeps flight delays from consuming that allowance before arrival. Supply the correct flight number and travel date when booking.
For example, a domestic flight landing at 2:00 p.m. has its 60-minute free airport window through 3:00 p.m.; an international arrival landing at 2:00 p.m. has its 90-minute window through 3:30 p.m. These are examples of the published allowance. Use the passenger’s mobile number for arrival-day contact and read the Wait Time Policy with your reservation.
