Just used UBER last night to get from UPS to the terminal. You just have to be patient when placing the pin for the pick up location. Basically has to be placed in the river across the street from the parking lot to get off of airport property, then I just send a text to the driver saying the pick up point is at UPS. Most drivers are saying they are becoming familiar with UPS pick up’s.

Its their IT. The app sees UPS parking lot as “phl airport” so it then only allows you to choose which terminal you want to be picked up. Sounds like the workaround is to put yourself in the river across the road to get off airport property.

I've found success as of late with being able to move the pin on UBER kind of how lyft has always done. Haven't tried in PHL but it was always an issue in SLC and PHX and I have been able to modify the pickup point. It used to be locked in. Terminal or bust. But surely there are many airports across the country that have businesses and residences where this has been a problem and I think UBER has finally caught on. Disclaimer. Not at brown yet but a regular commuter from many gateways.
