Where to meet your driver at SeaTac
Where taxis, rideshare and booked private cars pick up at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and how to find your driver quickly after you land.
Where is the pickup location at SeaTac Airport?
At SEA, taxis and rideshare pick up on the 3rd floor of the parking garage, across from the terminal. With a booked private car, your driver tracks your flight and texts the meeting point once you have your bags, or waits inside baggage claim with a name sign if you add meet and greet for $50. Keep your phone on after landing and reply when you have your luggage.
