Can you get an uber black? UberX is not allowed to pick up at airports in some markets, but I'll settle for Uber black over having to deal with taxis.
There are a lot of cities where any Uber is available outside of airport only.
It is because Uber didn't cut a deal with Sydney Airport. Happens in a lot of airports here in USA where Uber doesn't work. But once you're outside airport boundary you can get an Uber.
