On Arrival Day (Arrivals Being Picked Up From the Airport)
This is the moment first‑time riders worry about the most: Where do I go when I land? The answer is simple, but it needs to be spelled out clearly.
- In Terminal 1 (T1):—your driver waits inside the arrivals hall at Pillar 2 with a name sign.
- In Terminal 3 (T3):—you look for them at Pillar D, still inside arrivals. ● At Billy Bishop: your driver waits at the ferry terminal entrance on the mainland side.
- Check your SMS the —driver’s direct number is there, along with the exact meetup spot.
- Call the driver. — most will find you in under two minutes once they know your location.
- Call 24/7 support— the hopn team can help you locate your driver if needed.
The sign is usually white or digital, with your last name in clear letters, and your driver is watching the exit doors and baggage claim area for you.
Once you meet, they take your bags, walk you to the car, and you are on the road — no circling the terminal, no uncertain phone calls.
