Why won t Uber let me schedule a ride from the airport?
Reserve is currently not available for Airport pick-ups. 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 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?
That being said, if you're ordering during normal hours and find that your order isn't getting picked up, it's more likely that the restaurant is either too far away for most drivers to want to accept the order or you didn't tip (or left a low tip).

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.

No, Uber drivers are private contractors so they are not required to help with their passengers bags. Some drivers do help with their passengers bags to try to get better ratings and tips. I have offered to help on several occasions but usually the passengers decline. I normally do.
