Uber will actively monitor all active cars at the time requested to find a ride for you but cannot guarantee a ride. In big cities and busy areas, there will likely be cars available throughout the day and night, but in the exceptional case that no drivers are available, you will be notified immediately.

Sometimes a driver may not be in the area and the ride would just get cancelled and Uber would send you a notification that no driver responded to the ride. All Uber does for a scheduled ride is try and time it right with a nearby driver to pick you up close to the time you put in the app. There are no guarantees.

We all know that not everyone is comfortable using a phone or an app to call an Uber, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said during the showcase. Like my mother-in-law and for her, we have a product that's incredibly easy to use. Customers can request a ride by dialing 1-833-USE-UBER.

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.
