Depending on the day of the week, more than likely, yes; however, as drivers set their own schedule, there is no guarantee. I just about ONLY drive in the wee hours, and until the bar drivers go home (around 3 AM), it is easy to get an uber driver. After that time it is touch and go.
LYFT's reliability at 4 am may vary depending on your location and local demand. It's generally a less busy time, so availability might be lower compared to peak hours, but LYFT should still be operational. It's a good idea to check the app closer to the time you need a ride to gauge availability in your area.
If you want the fare to be cheapest, best way to travel would be during the non peak hours. Peak hours include morning and evening office times and during rains. Hope this helps.
No the normal Uber rates are the same any hour of the day, unless of course your area is in a surge. Surge is basically supply vs. demand. If there are more request for rides than their are available Uber drivers nearby, the price goes up.

Depends on your locationIn most major cities getting a driver at 5am is not a problem at all as there are plenty of drivers on the road. In smaller more rural or suburban areas, you might find there are very few or no drivers on the road at that time of day.
24/7. The amazing thing about Uber and Lyft is those who drive can work whatever hours they want. It can be part time or full time. Their always are people driving although some more rural areas or small towns may not have drivers in them.
The busiest times to drive for Lyft are the early morning and late afternoon. These hours accommodate people going to and from work. Some cities will have different peak hours, but these are the most common.
Yes, Uber is available 24 hours a day but in smaller markets you may struggle to find a ride in a timely fashion. Also, there are a few considerations you need to think about when utilizing the service during off peak hours.
You can pay for rides by cash or card. To pay for rides by card, first add the card in the app. You can add up to 5 cards. Card payments are available for rides in the iOS (version 8.0 or higher) or Android (version 4.0 or higher) app.
You can tip your driver once your trip is complete. Tips are neither expected nor required. After a trip has ended, you have 30 days to add a tip in the app, on riders.uber.com, and from your emailed trip receipt. When can I tip my delivery partner?
