The Guru Take
Yes, this feature is becoming more popular
Some rideshare companies allow you to schedule future rides and some do not.
Uber has recently started allowing riders to schedule future rides in advance in a few select cities throughout the US. Through this feature Uber allows passengers to schedule rides up to 30 days in advance. If Uber allows this feature in your area you will see a button that says "Schedule a Ride" near the bottom of your Uber app. Through this button you can schedule a ride in advance. If you do not have this button in your Uber app, unfortunately this means that scheduled Uber rides are not yet available in your area. For more information on Uber's scheduled rides click here.
Lyft also allows riders to schedule rides up to 7 days in advance in the following cities: Chicago, Denver, Miami, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Tuscon, and Washington, DC.

Does your app guarantee that there will be a driver to pick you up at the scheduled time? I live in a suburban area, there aren't always drivers nearby.
Kias:
We ensure deliver-ability of your ride with an over 95% confidence rating by a combination of booking your ride at the right moment before your scheduled time and using various reliability algorithms developed in house. I hope that answers your question.
Thanks,

Hi, Malik,
What cities does Kommen support? The problem about Uber's schedule is that it's only available in the largest cities.

@Casper - Wherever there is Uber - we schedule rides. :) The app itself is not available for download in every country, but as long as you have Kommen on your phone and there is Uber available at a particular pickup location you can schedule a ride.
Super neat! Thanks! I was thinking I'd need this when I go to Cleveland next month. It'd be nice to have one scheduled on the other end, as I will be flying in around midnight.
Very cool :)
That is pretty cool that it works in all Uber cities. Does it work with your Uber app or does it handle the transactions too?
It works with the Uber platform, so the rides are provisioned by regular Uber drivers.
