Phoenix Sky Harbor is the simplest robotaxi airport in the US. Any Waymo rider can be picked up or dropped off at the Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 curbs, 24 hours a day, or at the PHX Sky Train's 24th Street and 44th Street stations.
Step by step
- Collect your bags first, then open the Waymo app and set your destination.
- For the terminal curb, go to Level 1, outer curb, South Door 8 near arrivals at Terminal 3 or 4.
- For the Sky Train option, ride the free train to the 24th Street or 44th Street station (about five minutes) and request the car once you're on the train, as Waymo suggests.
- Match the letters shown in the app to the car, unlock it in the app and load the trunk.
The pickup points come from Waymo's Airport service page (Waymo Help); Waymo opened 24/7 curbside service at Terminals 3 and 4 to all riders on August 27, 2024 (Waymo). The airport lists Waymo among its rideshare providers and names the Sky Train stations as its autonomous vehicle pickup and drop-off locations (Phoenix Sky Harbor). Checked Nov 11, 2026
Luggage: a Waymo trunk holds about 200 pounds, enough for three carry-ons or two large checked bags up to 29 by 21.5 by 13 inches; open it from the app or with the button above the license plate (Waymo Help). Up to four people can ride.
Waymo may add an airport access fee to the price; the app shows it (Waymo Help). Teen account holders can ride anywhere in the Metro Phoenix area, which includes the airport (Waymo Help).
