We (2 persons) need a ride at 2:30am on a Sautrday morning from NE Washington, dC to Reagan National Airport for an upcoming 6:30am international flight. Could there be a problem if we wait until that Friday to request a car for 2:30am Saturday pick up? Would you recommend we request the car now to allow drivers to see it to increase the chance of us getting a driver for that time? This would be my first time seeking a ride at this time of the day so I am rather nervous about the possibility of a driver not being available. Any suggestions/recommendations are appreciated.

With both Uber and Lyft you can schedule the ride ahead of time through the app, this is just as easy as hailing a ride so if it makes you feel more secure, then I would recommend booking your ride in advance. With that said, I also think you wouldn't have a problem getting a ride at 2:30 am on a Saturday if you chose to wait until that time to request your car. Since you live in an Urban area and many drivers are out at that time of night due to bars closing down, I think you would be just fine getting a driver last minute!

Hello Lilly.
It's assuring to know rides should be available even at that hour of the night. Thank you for your reply!
