No. The curbside can be used for immediate loading and unloading only. Strict federal security directives prohibit parked or unattended vehicles on the roadways in front of airport terminals, even for a short time. Unattended vehicles may be ticketed and towed.

Here are a few tips for making your trip to SAV a smooth one:

• It sometimes takes a little while for bags to make it from the airplane to the baggage carousel. Curbside parking in front of the terminals is prohibited, so make sure your traveler has retrieved his or her bags and is waiting outside the terminal before pulling curbside. 
• You may pull to the curb in front of a terminal only long enough to drop off or pick up a waiting traveler. 
• Free luggage carts are conveniently located near the baggage carousels and bringing all the suitcases out to the curb at one time eliminates the need to make multiple trips inside to retrieve baggage. 
• When picking up, the traveler must be waiting outside the terminal before you pull curbside; parking your vehicle at the curb while you wait for arriving travelers to emerge from the terminal is not allowed.
• Plan to use the cell phone lot and wait for a call from the passenger that they are waiting to be picked up curbside. 
• Be sure to exchange cell phone numbers. This way, your traveler can call you when they land so that you can time your arrival and avoid having to circle the roadway.
• Be sure you have your traveler’s flight number and check its status before heading to the airport.
• If you are coming from a distance, plan to park at the airport and wait inside.
