Have you ever flown to your destination and then had to wait in line for a taxi to take you to your hotel? Or, have you foregone a private ride for a hotel shuttle or shared transportation service with a dozen other people only to find yourself making multiple stops before reaching your accommodations?
Fortunately, these headaches can be a thing of the past on your next trip with Uber Reserve.
Thanks to Uber Reserve, there's a better way to travel. Uber Reserve lets you schedule an airport pickup and drop-off ahead of time, tracks your flight for delays and even lets you cancel (with no fee) up to an hour before pickup.
Here's everything you need to know about scheduling a ride from the airport in advance with Uber Reserve.
Uber Reserve is your answer to prearranged private transportation. Instead of waiting to request your ride upon arrival (potentially competing with others who land around the same time), travelers pre-schedule their airport pickup right in the Uber app. The service takes the guesswork out of travel, giving you one less thing to worry about when you take to the skies.
Additionally, with built-in flight-tracking technology, Uber Reserve will automatically adjust your reservation time based on the flight information you provide, so the driver will know if you've been delayed or landed early. Plus, If you aren't ready to ride the moment you touch down, don't stress: The driver will wait up to 45 minutes after your scheduled pickup time — or up to 60 minutes for Uber Black.
You can schedule your airport pickup with Uber Reserve at over 100 airports worldwide, including more than 50 in the U.S.

Reserving your ride is simple and can be done right from the Uber app. From the home screen, you'll see the "Reserve" calendar icon in the "Suggestions" section. From here, you can reserve a ride anywhere from 30 minutes to up to 90 days in advance — and you can cancel for no charge up to 60 minutes before your scheduled pickup time.
When reserving your airport pickup, enter your destination airport as the "Pickup Location" (the app will likely default to your current location). Then, type in where you want your ride to drop you off.
Tap "Let's go," and you'll then be asked when your flight arrives at the airport you designated. Choose your date of arrival, then tap "Select date."
Next, type in your flight number and then hit "Search." Your flight should appear in the results, and when you tap it, you'll see the various ride options available. Depending on the airport, you can choose UberX, UberXL, Uber Comfort, Black or Black SUV. The prices will be displayed for each option.

Why did they appear at this moment? It was my ancestors making sure I got to my destination safely.”
