Yes, Ola provides services round the clock. The only catch that the area you are in should be serviceable by them and there should be a cab in your vicinity since it goes without saying that if there is no cab near you, you won't be able to book it. Can I book an Ola cab everyday for work in India?
Is Ola available at 2am? Yes you can book OLA at 2 am, provided cabs are available in your area. Or else you can do an advance booking for a cab using the “Ride Later” option.

Another problem with Ola is that drivers purposefully cancel / don't accept rides (even on Sundays) which leads to an increase in pricing by artificially boosting demand.
Uber and LYFT platforms or apps, are utilized by rideshare drivers at any time day or night. It depends on a drivers desire to go out in public and drive. As long as there are enough drivers in the area (like if you're not in a rural area) there should be an active driver at all hours of the day and night, yes.
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.
Upon opening your Uber application, you'll see a small car and clock icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Once you've clicked on that, planning your ride in advance becomes as easy as 1-2-3! All you need to do is enter the time, date and address before clicking “Confirm”.
