OTHER INFORMATION

LRAFB NOW AUTHORIZED UBER LOCATION
Little Rock AFB is now an authorized location for select Uber drivers to pick up and drop off passengers with valid DoD ID. Passengers with base access will be authorized to escort guests when “Trusted Traveler” is authorized. When ordering an authorized Uber ride, it is recommended that you use your actual address on the installation so an authorized driver can locate you in an effective and timely manner.  Delays at installation gates can slow pick up and drop off times based on gate operations, so please plan accordingly to prevent delays with travel. 

FAQ:

  • How do I get an Uber on base?
    • When ordering an Uber on the App input your specific on base address and it will let you know which Uber drivers are authorized on base.
  • Can they drop me off at my dorm or just at the gate?
    • If the driver is authorized if you in put your actual address on the installation, they can drop you off there. If they are not authorized the driver can drop you off at the gate.
