Uber and Lyft both offer scheduling options. Instructions are available here:
However, it is generally not recommended to schedule rides for airport pickups. While it is nice to have a piece of mind that there will be a ride, Uber and Lyft are more catered for ad-hoc requests, rather than reservations. Complexities can arise if your flight is delayed and you have no way of notifying the driver.
Uber and Lyft are readily available at airports at all hours of the day. You should not have trouble requesting a ride and only waiting ~5 minute. Here are tips on airport pickups: Requesting an Uber/Lyft from the Airport
If you really want that piece of mind upon arrival, we suggest you book a traditional service such as airport shuttles or limo/car service.
