So my advice is to just always do a fare estimate before you request the ride. Regardless of where you live in the world, you can use Uber or Lyft to go to the airport without issue! Although just be aware that occasionally (like in Saigon or NYC), Uber has a flat rate to the airport which they don't always make clear when you request a ride. While Lyft & Uber are legal in most cities now, the one place where taxis have really dug in against ridesharing is airport pickups because taxis actually have to pay the airport for the right to pick up passengers there while ridesharing doesn't. I have also used UberX and Lyft to go to the airport in Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), New York (JFK & LGA), between Washington Dulles (IAD) to National (DCA) all without issue. Just last month, I used Uber in Saigon, Vietnam and it was extremely cheap and much better than trying to negotiate the price with the local taxi cartel. Not only is the entire experience better than taking a cab but Uber and Lyft are usually 40% cheaper than taxis! For international travelers like myself, Uber is great because it is available in 57 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES and with Uber the rates are set so I know I won't get scammed by local taxi drivers.

Like many of you, I love ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft!
