Frequently Asked Questions

PickUpRide provides personalized customer service that exceeds your expectations.

PickUpRide is here to make your travel to and from Airport a stress-free experience. No more worries about trying to find a friend or family member to drop you off or paying a fortune to park your car. Instead, one of our drivers will pick you up in a comfortable late-model private van. These spacious vehicles are perfect for those traveling in groups, as they seat 7 to 9 passengers, with ample storage space for luggage.

How Our Airport Service Works

Unlike other airport and hotel transfers that only do pick-ups and drop-offs at predetermined times and locations, PickUpRide offers more personalized service. You choose where we pick you up—your home, hotel, office, or convention center—and the exact time for your pickup.

Upon arriving at the airport, please send a text or reply to the driver indicating that you have landed. This will inform the driver of your arrival. Call Us at (833) 966-2333 or Text Us at (323) 900-5061. You may also chat with us from our website at www.pickupride.com.

To schedule your private service with PickUpRide, simply fill out the form on our Book Now page and specify the type of service you need and your desired pick-up date, time, and location.

Are you traveling with a group? If so, you have the option to request additional pick-up stops as needed. Please inform us of your drop-off location, the total number of passengers, and the number of pieces of luggage you have. You will then be asked to choose the type of van you prefer, indicate if you require a child seat, add any extra stops, specify any desired wait time, and include an airport meet and greet. Additionally, please let us know if you require an accessible vehicle. Please note that any additional fees will be applied to the final amount.
