Driverless taxis reach only a few airports. Waymo serves six: Phoenix Sky Harbor, San Antonio and San José for all riders, and San Francisco, Las Vegas and Nashville for a limited group first. Zoox picks up at Las Vegas. LAX, Austin, Miami and Orlando aren't served by any robotaxi.

Why airports lag behind cities

An airport is private property with its own roads and curb rules, so a robotaxi company needs the airport's permission on top of its city and state permits. In California the rule is explicit: the state utilities commission prohibits autonomous passenger service at airports without the airport authority's express authorization, and it posts the ones granted; Waymo's list includes SFO and San José (CPUC). Nevada's permit for Tesla prohibits pickups within a quarter mile of Harry Reid unless the airport approves (Nevada Transportation Authority).

That's also why the pickup spot is often a walk or a train ride away. At SFO the meeting points are the Rental Car Center and a hotel; at Nashville, a parking garage. Build in the extra time.

Tips for an airport robotaxi trip

  • Check access before you fly. Several airports start with "a limited number of riders"; the app shows whether your account can book the airport.
  • Request when you're actually at the pickup point, or on the airport train for Phoenix's Sky Train stations, as Waymo suggests.
  • Budget for a fee line. Waymo and Zoox both say airport trips can carry one.
  • Waymo's trunk takes two large checked bags. Zoox has no trunk: bags ride on the floor, one per rider.

Questions riders ask

Which airports does Waymo serve?

Phoenix Sky Harbor, San Antonio and San José, plus San Francisco, Las Vegas Harry Reid and Nashville for a limited number of riders so far. Waymo doesn't serve LAX, Austin, Miami or Orlando.

Can a robotaxi pick me up at the terminal?

Sometimes. Waymo uses the terminal curb at Phoenix, San Antonio and parts of San José, but meets riders at a rental car center, hotel or garage at SFO, Nashville and San José Terminal B. Zoox picks up at Level 0 at both Las Vegas terminals.

Is there a fee for airport robotaxi trips?

There can be. Waymo lists an airport access fee among the surcharges it may add, and Zoox says destination fees can apply to Harry Reid trips. Neither publishes the amount; it appears in the app's price.
