Uber doesn't guarantee that a driver will accept your ride request. Your ride is confirmed once you receive your driver details. **Reserve trips made in advance are subject to a cancellation fee. You can cancel at no charge up to 60 minutes before your reservation pick-up time.
There is nothing you can do to guarantee a driver on time. What reserve does is typically pay out higher per mile to a driver who accepts it, but it also makes them have to be online 40 minutes before your ride and often times limits their rides they can get before that, so some drivers avoid reserved rides.

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.
The same as any other hour. Uber rates do not depend on time. Only surge prices (high demand) can increase the price of a ride. Why is Uber so expensive?
Your trip request is only confirmed once you have received your journey details. However, your driver remains free to cancel your trip request. In this case, the trip request will be offered to another nearby driver.
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.
How much should you tip Uber drivers? Similar to tipping for other services, like getting a massage or going to the nail salon, the rule of thumb is to tip 20%, says Sokolosky. So if your ride costs $30—an average cost for a moderate trip in most cities—then you'll tip $6, for a total of $36.

Felony convictions in the last 7 years. Serious criminal convictions—including sexual assault, sex crimes against children, murder/homicide, terrorism, human trafficking, and kidnapping—at any time in the driver or delivery person's history. Any serious criminal charges that are still pending.
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.
