Pick-Up at the Curb
Drivers and passengers should agree on a specific meeting location outside the Terminal. All vehicles stopped at the curb must be actively loading or unloading passengers. Consider parking in Parking 1 or 2 until your passenger arrives and contacts you for pick-up.
Terminal 1: Pick up at Terminal 1 is at ground level.
- Cars may pull up anywhere long the terminal's outer traffic lane in the circle although we recommend you pull down to the far north end of the traffic circle as the curb as you enter is often congested.
Terminal 2: Pick up on Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level.
- Consider picking up your party on the Departures Level during busy times. Please be aware that construction may limit available curb space. Passengers may also provide drivers a door number.
- Passengers using app based ride services will meet their driver on the lower (bag claim) level, exiting the terminal through doors 5 and 6 and crossing to the passenger pick-up median. There is also an option in the app to select the ticketing (upper) level for pickup.
*Traveler Tip: If traffic on the arrivals level is heavy, you can pick up on the departures level. Just be sure your passenger knows to go to level 3.
Metrorail Station
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Metrorail Station is connected to Terminal 2 from walkways on Level 2 of the Concourse. Passengers coming by metro to meet their passenger on baggage claim will need to proceed down the escalator/elevator one level to meet the passenger on baggage claim.
