   6 years ago in  Rideshare Services for Women / Females

  We would love to hear more about your experience as a female rideshare driver in London.  Would you do that for us on our forum?  https://ride.guru/lounge/

  We hear the great news about more female drivers signing up to drive; however, we also hear about more females being attacked on rideshares.  This is a new industry that has great potential to make it safer for females compared to past modes of transportation, and we feel the only way to accomplish that is to discuss and share our experiences.

   7 years ago in  Want to pre arrange a ride to airport for 4 am tomorrow the app doesn't let me choose a time- how do i get time

  In order to pre-arrange a ride you will need to book your ride through your desired company directly. Most services allow for pre-scheduled rides but not all, so first make sure the company you are using lets you book in advance. Both Uber and Lyft now let you book in advance through their applications.

  Here are some help articles on booking Uber/Lyft in advance.

  Where are you located? Sadly, Uber still does not support advanced bookings in a few locations.
