"We've done such a good job that it really gives us a chance to study this, to see if it's something our roadways can accommodate during the busiest time of the year," said airport spokesperson Doug Yakel.
Passengers who use regular Uber pickups, Uber Pool, along with Lyft rides, will still need to be picked up at the International Terminal.
If all goes well, the program could continue past mid-January.
