The Scheduled Rides feature allows you to book a trip in advance by selecting a 10-minute pickup window. The driver will be requested on your behalf and will arrive in the 10-minute window you've selected.
No. Uber automatically matches riders with nearby, available drivers who may then accept or decline the trip request.
If you're expecting an event you just can't miss, the app lets you schedule a ride up to 30 days in advance, so you don't leave anything to chance. When you schedule at least 60 minutes in advance, your price for the trip will be locked in.
To update your gender, go to the Menu section of your Driver app (tap on the three bar icon at the to left corner) and then: Select “Account” Go to “Security and Privacy” Go to “Gender Identity”
Can You Request a Female Uber Driver? No, you cannot request a driver based on gender, neither male nor female. Though female passengers may be more comfortable with a female driver, especially at night and in a deserted or unfamiliar area, it can be discriminatory to ask for a female driver only.
Many women feel more comfortable when taking an Uber with a female driver, and understandably so. However, you cannot request a female Uber driver, nor can you request a driver based on age, race, or ethnicity. Your Uber driver is just whoever picks up the fare and is willing to take you to your destination.
When you schedule at least an hour in advance, the price of your trip will be locked and you won't be subject to dynamic pricing on your trip. Reservation fees are included in the price you see before requesting a ride. Time and distance pricing does not apply to Uber Reserve, which is paid as an upfront fare.
For times when you want to send your friends and family home–or pick them up–you can request a ride for other adults through your app.
While Uber's scheduled rides are not guaranteed, they can work quite well in densely populated areas where there are always lots of drivers available. When you live in a quieter suburb there is a smaller chance that Uber will be able to find a driver for your scheduled ride.
With an Uber account, you can request a ride in any city where Uber operates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If Uber serves your market area, then YES you should have no problem. A lot of drivers come on early just to catch the airport runs.
Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are 24/7.
If you are outside of a city or in a rural area, you may want to check the app at 4AM on previous days (or the previous) week, and see if there are drivers available.
Actually, there is no difference between UberX and Uber – UberX is simply a basic level of service that Uber offers. Uber offers a variety of service level options. They range from cheaper, economy rides to pricier luxury rides.
No. Uber does not allow you to request two different Ubers simultaneously. Therefore, unless you are riding in the same Uber, you cannot order an Uber for yourself and someone else at the same time.
It depends on the size of your city. I drive in a city of about 200,000 counting the outlying area in the county. I have had many repeat passengers (I've got about 2100 trips). It isn't unusual for me to have the same person in my car twice in one night.
You can request that your driver make multiple stops when requesting a ride. Here's how: Open the Uber app and tap the “Where To?” box. Tap the “+” to add additional stops.
Riders can request an UberPool trip for just themselves or opt to bring a friend (1-2 passengers per request). When you arrive to pick up a rider, you'll see a confirmation screen. On this screen, confirm the rider's name and select whether they're alone or with a second rider.
Uber fare on Scheduled Rides: Uber will display the regular fare at the time of scheduling the ride. This may be a standard estimate or an upfront pricing. However, when the time of the ride comes, if there is a surge for the trip you are about to take, the surge will be applied.
You can cancel a trip in the app before or after you're matched with a driver. Riders and drivers can cancel a trip for any reason consistent with our Community Guidelines.
Uber drivers are independent contrators and can choose their own hours, so the availability can signicantly different from one market to another. With that said, in areas where Uber provides its service, especially in cities, drivers are available all hours even in the early morning hours, whether it's 4 or 5AM.
As outlined in our Community Guidelines, no one other than the requesting rider and the rider's guests are permitted in the vehicle.
Here's what else the study found:
Some 60% of ride-share customers never tip, while only 1% always tip. Men tip on 17% of trips, while women tip on 14.3% of trips. Women drivers are tipped up to 12% more than male drivers.
Typically, riders requesting via UberX are charged a per-minute wait time fee if they don't board a vehicle within 2 minutes (5 minutes for Black or Black SUV trips) of the driver's arrival at the designated pickup location. Wait time fees and thresholds may vary by location.
Marika Sutinovska, a 69-year-old Uber driver, has clocked up 16,000 rides while maintaining a 5-star rating. A Macedonian Auckland woman might just be the world's best Uber driver – and it's only partly to do with the aged Turkish Airlines vomit bags in her glove box.
