This state Department of Transportation map shows three ride-hailing pick-up locations at Honolulu airport.

State transportation officials have added another pickup spot for ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, starting Tuesday.

The new pickup spot — on the second level center median outside Lobby 5 — will be the third available at the Honolulu airport, in addition to two others at the same level outside of Lobbies 2 and 8.

A map of all three pickup locations is available from the Hawaii Department of Transportation.

“The additional location was established in part to relieve congestion at the pick up areas, especially during the peak hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily,” said state Airports Division deputy director Ross Higashi in a news release. “The original two zones were at the ends of the airport and the new location is more central which should add greater efficiency.”

Companies, such as Uber and Lyft will notify the customer which pickup location to use during the order confirmation process. They must also meet insurance requirements as specified by state law, pay the associated fees and satisfy other requirements designated in Hawaii Administrative Rule 19-20.1 to operate at the airports.
