I need an early morning ride to the airport on Sat, (in four days). Can I book it early, if so how early or do I just request it that morning?

The Guru Take
You can book a limo or schedule a ride with Uber or Lyft
In certain cities, Uber and Lyft started offering "Scheduled Rides," where you can request a ride in advance.
This sounds great on paper, but it does not mean a driver is notified and "reserved" for that future date. Basically, what is happening is that a few minutes before your scheduled ride, Uber sends out the request to the pool of local drivers. The on-demand dispatching may or may not work on that particular date and location you specified.
Here's similar threads that cover this topic in detail.
I have a flight that leaves at 6am and need to leave home no later than 4am...
Can I reserve a car for future date?
Is it true that Uber Scheduled Rides are not guaranteed?
