DFW - UberX pickups allowed, there is a $2 toll for International Parkway (which runs through the airport) that will be added to your fare.

DTW - Most drivers (X or black) can meet you curbside. Tip: at McNamara terminal, easiest pickup point is the Westin hotel entrance on the departures level.

If you guys are that adamant about not using a taxi - take whatever hotel shuttle you want and hail the Uber from there. Been doing this for awhile now and never had any problems with the shuttle driver checking or even asking. I just get my bags off and have it hailed and waiting when I get to the hotel.

I took the liberty of organizing the Wiki into regions (well, all US, but for two Asian entries).

MSY allows pickups, but there is a mandatory minimum $75 fare, and you are forced to use Uber Black.
If you have 4 people, it is a no-brainer since cabs have regulated $15pp fares from MSY to the city.

HT to gleff from VFTW, as of Nov 1 MWAA has legalized rideshare services. There will be a $4/ride airport surcharge on top of normal fares. Apparently pickups as well as dropoffs will be ok at IAD and DCA.

I'm not sure if Uber is officially allowed, but at BOS, if you try to request an Uber, it will pop up a message saying that Uber will only pick up in the Limo pick-up area, and the only options are UberX and UberBLACK.

I took an uberX earlier this month from LAX. Was able to arrange a pickup straight from the app, designate the pickup terminal, and coordinated pick-up location with driver via text. A $4.00 "LAX Airport Surcharge" was added in addition to the usual $1.65 "Safe Rides Fee."
