Hi,

I read mixed things online, but currently is it possible to get an Uber from AUS airport? Usually I take the 100 or 350 buses from the airport, but my friend will be arriving too late for the final bus. We'll probably leave the airport around 11:30p (I realize the last 100 bus leaves at 11:30p, but her flight arrives at 11:10p, so it may be hard to get the baggage in time).

Thanks!

I do it all the time, no problem, even when I've arrived at 1 am in the morning.

I dont know if there is a designated pickup area, where Uber drivers go to pick up passengers, but I think once you get your luggage, you can page an Uber ride from your phone, and then step out to the curb...the driver knows where you are from your GPS on your phone.

This.

I've been picked up from CarMax near 35 before only 4 minutes after making a request. It's all based on GPS. It's a great service.

No. They will pick you up right in front.

An Uber driver recently told me they are not allowed to wait in the Taxi area of the airport so they congregate behind the Shell Station on 71 where you exit the airport.

Don't know how late they hang there, though.
