Question re Uber and Lyft apps

[Donald Roberts]

I have both the Uber and the Lyft app on my iPhone 6. Can some list member tell me with certainty whether there is a mechanism on either app to set up a trip in advance.

I ask because several months ago it was necessary to go to a major airport almost a hundred miles from my home. The guy that showed up decided he really didn't want to drive to that airport. So I need to schedule the trip in advance if possible. No emergency, we would just like to schedule our next trip in advance if possible.

Thanks for feedback.

Hello Donald,
Both apps have a mechanism by which you can schedule a trip in
advance, but as Andy stated, the feature could be market specific. In
the Uber app, the feature for me appears right after the where to
button, and in the Lyft app, the feature appears after I have already
placed the destination and pick up in.

I tried this feature with Uber a month ago. I needed to take my kids to school and tried to schedule the ride about 20 minutes prior to when I wanted to be picked up. After waiting about 15 minutes with no driver accepting my request, I cancelled the request and did a regular request and got a right pretty much right away. It could have been a fluke that someone came on in the time it took me to cancel and do a new request. Maybe this feature works well if you do it further in advance than the 20 minute window I gave, but I was certainly left dubious about it.
