Now, you'll be notified before the pickup if your trip was scheduled in advance by your rider. These trips tend to be longer with lower cancellation rates.
 
Today’s improvements are part of our continued effort to create a stress-free pickup experience for everyone. Be on the lookout for another update tomorrow, when we'll be announcing new ratings improvements designed to give you peace of mind. 

Thank you for driving with Uber,
