Can Uber be ordered the night before?

Introducing Uber Reserve – a feature that allows you to pre-book trips up to 90 days in advance. Plan ahead for yourself or your team and travel with ease on your next business trip.



Yes, you can order an Uber the night before using the "Schedule a Ride" or "Uber Reserve" feature in the app. This allows you to book a trip from 30 minutes to 30 days in advance. When you use Uber Reserve, the app sends your request to drivers ahead of time, and you will often receive a confirmation that a driver has accepted your trip well before your pickup time. This is especially useful for early-morning airport runs. Keep in mind that "Reserved" rides often come with a slightly higher upfront price which includes a reservation fee to compensate the driver for their wait time. If you use the standard "Schedule" feature (rather than Reserve), the app simply automates a request for you at the designated time, which does not "guarantee" a driver in the same way. For total peace of mind for a 4:00 AM flight, always check that your ride shows up in the "Upcoming Trips" section of the app after you book it.

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.

Inflated fare prices in times of high passenger demand, called SURGE pricing, often cause people to declare that rideshare prices are more expensive than cab fares. However, this isn't necessarily true. Business Insider published a report that found Uber, on average, to be cheaper than taxi cabs across the country.

Basic supply and demand. The more drivers in the area, the more ability to fill the demand. If there are less drivers, which at night there are (and really early in the morning), then the demand may be higher than the supply of drivers.

Yes! However, I would suggest calling the driver and asking first. I would also recommend a nice tip. A driver's concern with such a long drive is that the passenger will not tip, typical of Uber riders, and he will have to return home with no fare/compensation for the 2 hour trip back.

Supply and Demand As demand for rides increases, the driver supply decreases, and the price of rides increases—as demand goes up, the cost of an Uber gets more expensive.
