Before You Go


Follow these travel tips to get to your destination safely:

  • Remain on the sidewalk until your vehicle comes to a complete stop
  • Always confirm the license plate
  • Have the driver say your name before getting in

 

For TNC Drivers


MSP Airport requires all Lyft, uberX, uberXL, and UberSELECT partners to obtain a permit and display a vehicle decal to complete rider pickups. Failure to display your permit will result in a $100 fine. 

 

To get your permit, start here: 

  • Go to tncpermit.mspmac.org
  • Fill out the MSP Airport permit form online—you will need to have your social security number & vehicle VIN
  • Ensure your driver’s license is current and all documents are up-to-date

At your appointment:

  • Show your driver's license
  • Verify that you are an active user on your app
  • Show a copy of your current vehicle inspection
  • A permit fee of $25 per TNC will be charged by debit or credit card (cash will not be accepted)
  • Verify and sign a copy of the form you submitted
  • Airport staff will verify your information and provide you a decal for each vehicle as well as a paper driver's permit

After your appointment:

  • Apply the decal to your windshield. MAC ordinance requires the decal to be permanently affixed on the middle of your windshield behind your rearview mirror
  • Carry your paper driver’s permit with you or upload a photo of the permit to your app (if applicable) under “MSP Airport Permit”
