Life Hack: Put the "pin" in the Uber app, near the airport (where there is no fee). As soon as you get a driver, call and let them know you're at the airport, which terminal/exit you're at.

This avoids any fees, and also gets around the "We do not service this area" blockers.

I've never had a driver complain about it.

Depends on the airport. Some airports are vicious about enforcing Uber bans (and the drivers quickly figure this out), so drivers will call to confirm your location if the pin is near the airport.

On the other hand, most airports have some sort of public transportation heading in a not-airport direction...
