How Does Scheduling An Uber Work
A Personal Experience
As someone who relies heavily on ride-sharing services, I was thrilled when Uber announced their scheduling feature a few years ago. No more worrying about whether or not I could get a ride at the time I needed it most. I could simply schedule an Uber in advance and have peace of mind knowing that it was taken care of.
What is Scheduling an Uber?
Scheduling an Uber allows you to reserve a ride up to 30 days in advance. This means you can plan ahead for important events, early morning flights or simply ensure you get a ride when you need it most. The scheduled ride works exactly like a regular Uber ride, except you book it in advance.
How to Schedule an Uber
Scheduling an Uber is a straightforward process. Simply open the Uber app and select the “Schedule a Ride” option. From there, enter your pickup location, destination, and the date and time you want to be picked up. Once you have entered this information, you will be given a price estimate for the ride. If you’re happy with the price, confirm your ride and your scheduled ride is booked.
Events and Competitions
Uber frequently runs promotions and competitions related to scheduling rides. Keep an eye on their social media channels and website for any upcoming events or promotions.
