Last week I picked up a pax and he told me that he scheduled UberBlack to the airport at 5.30 a.m on Saturday morning.
I dropped him to his house at Suburbs and started thinking about it. I am living close to that area (cobb county) and I am sure there wont be any black cars available in that area especially at that time.

So how does it happen? It was an $150 ride. Does Uber provide this information to their favorite driver?

Anybody can schedule any uber platform car on the app.

If you ever notice, if you get a request that is about 20 minutes away it's usually a scheduled pickup.

The thing about that scheduled ride is, I am sure the closest Black car would be minimum 30 minutes away in that area. It didn't make sense to me. I wonder if Uber is contacting some drivers and forwarding them the information.

I found out about scheduled rides when I was called away from my normal fishing hole for a 20 minute away ping. Normally I wouldn't but it was surging in that area so I went. It turned out to be an airport run (good for me). On the way there I asked if they had trouble getting an Uber because of how long they had to wait for me. They told me they scheduled the pickup. After that, I started polling every rider that had a long wait for pickup. Most of them turned out to be scheduled.

That`s good to know. Thank you. I wish Uber would let scheduled rides for UberSelect too.

They do for all platforms. I'm Select.

I use my rider app. It can be done for X,XL,Black,Suv but not for Pool and Select

Could explain the pax texting me that she didn't need to be picked up till 12:45 at the office. The ping came to me at 12:00 and I was 4 minutes away. I cancelled and did a ticket. 40 minute wait time seems extreme.
