    Scheduling a ride

    When possible, you can plan ahead by scheduling a ride up to 7 days ahead of time. When you schedule a ride, you’ll specify your pickup window. We’ll send you a reminder before your pickup.
    If you can't select the 'Schedule' option in the app, scheduled rides may not be available in your area.
    To schedule a ride:
    1. Set your destination, then tap the ‘Plan ahead’ calendar icon on the ride type selection screen.
    2. Tap 'Schedule,' choose a date and time, then tap 'Set pickup time.'
    3. Confirm your pickup and drop-off location, then tap 'Schedule.'
    Note: we can’t guarantee the availability of drivers in your area during your pickup window.
