No you can’t. You’re not “booking” anything. You can tell Uber you want a ride to the airport at 4am, and when the time comes they’ll start looking for a driver. Then when they can’t find one, at 4:15am you get a pop-up that says “there are no drivers available” and to try again later. Then you’re left scrambling at 4:20am to go wake your wife up and tell her that she has to now drive you to the airport because Uber doesn’t really “book” anything. Ask me how I know. Twice (fool me twice...). Never again.

To be fair, I’ve had traditional cab companies and even hotel vans screw me similarly when I traveled constantly.

We technically live outside the Uber dispatch area for the metro but there’s three Uber drivers in the ‘hood who give out their number on Nextdoor. They can start a trip wherever they want but we can’t ask for one here. Dumb.
