I am located in Boca Raton and would need a regular driver to pick up clients/candidates from the airport and bring to my office and back. I am unable to schedule an Uber ahead of time for them and hoping one of you could assist. I need someone today at 230pm pickup in Miami drive to Boca Raton.

Thank you in advance.

What you're looking for is a driving service where you can pay what it's worth to have someone be available at 2:30pm (phone book, or maybe Google). Do your clients know what a cheapskate you are, or is your business failing to the degree that you can't afford to get them a ride? Or maybe you just don't know how Uber works and I jump to conclusions cuz I'm bitter. Uber doesn't work that way. We get paid a fraction of a really cheap fare, so we need to be picking up and dropping off regularly. Taking time off to drive to your clients at a specific time and hope they get in quickly isn't a profitable way to spend time. But there are businesses that cater to this request, and they charge you an appropriate price to keep their business running.

YES!!! You are correct! A friend of mine drives for Uber in LA and I know how tough it is for her. Just wanted to help someone out in my area with my companies business.
Generous people like you is what makes This Great Nation moves Forward.
All these social networks like Uber , they all want your businesses more control over you .
They deserve a Ban by a Federal Judge!
Make no mistake, they were so close of converting this country into a Socialist Communist System.
God Bless you ! ❤

If I may offer a straightforward, respectful answer to your inquiry...

First of all, although you can "schedule" ahead of time with Uber, it means nothing. All that happens is that 5 minutes or so prior to your "scheduled" pickup, Uber matches you with the closest driver to your pickup location. I doubt if Uber will schedule airport pickups because a) the airports work on an electronic queue and b) you have to factor in flight delays, etc, and c) they would have no way of knowing exactly where the pickup was until the rider is at the curb.

Your clients will have no problem getting rides from any South Florida airports, but it's a crapshoot. You may get a Prius, you may get an Escalade; you may get a driver who knows what they are doing, or not.

If you want some comfort with who will be driving your clients, and what they will be riding in, you need to make direct arrangements with a specific driver. There is a way to set that up and some of the better drivers do it, but you have to find them.

I would suggest that the ride be "on the app," rather than paying the driver independently. That way, you can pay normally, take advantage of discounts/promotions, and your rider is covered by Uber/Lyft insurance.

From a driver's perspective, an MIA-Boca ride is a mixed blessing. Yes, it's a long ride (about $55 - $120, depending on whether you use X or XL) -- but it could also be a long drive empty TO the pickup, or a long drive empty RETURNING from Boca. So the driver would probably want compensation for all those empty miles.

If this is going to be a recurring thing, it might be worth setting up an arrangement with a good driver. That, of course, will require much more than one hour notice.

Good luck, and thanks for trying to steer some business our way!

This person is lookng for LIMO services for Uber pricing. As you so ably stated, if I was to make such an arrangement I need to be paid for my time, gas, and that long empty car ride. People don't realize that the reason Uber is such damned cheap ride is because the driver is in your neck of the woods when you call for a car and works for peanuts per mile. I have private arrangements, but it's ALL of cash and the request must be made in advance. I am not going to drop everything I'm doing to ride someone anywhere at someone's whim. Yes, indeed this Corporate person needs to pick up his app, and call for a ride thru Uber or pay through the nose for a towncar or limo.... Cut the nonsense.

Please tell your riders to tip their Uber/Lyft drivers regularly and you'll start noticing more drivers willing to drive those long miles and hanging around your business waiting for that carrot.
How about if you pay Eewber $40 for an UberX trip, then tip the driver $40 to make up for the drive back with an empty car.
That's my tip for you
