Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Scott Granados]

That’s not a bad idea.  I’ve got the perfect car for it too.  I commute about 
an hour in each direction maybe more with traffic so it would be nice to make 
money on the way and during the day.  I could just see some drunk or 
inconsiderate passenger messing up my car though and then it would be war.:)

Good idea though.  I’m going to look in to it.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Jonathan Cohn]

Scott,

You should have your assistant sign up as an Uber driver. Then they could
make money off your car while you are in meetings.

It would also be interesting to hear you rant about how bad uber customers
are.

In Northern Virginia they just started Uber carpool unfortunately this part
of the app is not accessible. It is better than in April when I could not
even get past the screen asking if you were a driver or a passenger. The
carpool options are supposed to set up two people to commute together for
inconvenience of less than 10 minutes. I keep thinking that perhaps I
should use ride sharing more often since it would save me about an hour
each direction in my commute.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Scott Granados]

Depends, on how large and how much time you want but roughly 600 to 1500 US per 
hour assuming your paying a pilot and chartering, if you own it’s less per hour 
but the million plus for the bird up front is a limiting factor.:)

I don’t know what uber charges.

Sarai,

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the 
screen, somewhere above the Home button, is a button that says “schedule a ride 
in advance.” If you don’t locate it then swipe either right or left until you 
hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more 
apparent on the screens.

Good luck.

RE: scheduling an Uber ride?

Hi:

You will get a note if serge pricing is running. You have to agree to take it 
before scheduling a ride. If not, then don’t take the ride, or try Lyft if 
available. I love Uber! So glad it is here.

Subject: Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

 

It might seem convenient, but I would not get that excited about being
able to schedule rides.

When you schedule a ride, my understanding is that the system just
puts your ride request in to the real time queue at some point when it
seems like that would be the best time to leave.

It is not like if you schedule a ride on Monday morning at 6:00am to
go to the airport, that you have a driver that knows they are
scheduled to do that on Sunday night.  The system is just going to put
your request in the real time queue say at 5:45AM, and then you'll get
the next available car.

You could be subject to surge pricing or even a situation where there
are no cars available, although this is no more likely to happen then
when requesting a ride in real time.

I just think the scheduling feature gives users a false sense of
security and a belief that your ride is somehow guaranteed or assigned
to a driver when I think in reality it is just automating entering
your ride request in to the real time queue.

I feel like by using the real time queue I have more control and a
feel for what is going on such as etas for cars and the amount of
surge pricing.

But for those of you that love the scheduling feature, what am I missing? :)

Best,
Mika

Hi all,

So I have never used Uber, but something Mika said caught my attention.  Is 
there any way to avoid surge pricing?

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Eileen Scrivani]

I used the schedule in advance feature last week and the screens clearly state 
that it is not a garuntee of getting a car. If the time window rolls around and 
you don’t have a car I suppose the ride can be cancelled out and then you’' 
have the option of doing real-time or trying to get another car service. . If 
you think you’ll be in a place with a lot of noise or feeling under pressure it 
does make life easier to enter your information & schedule in advance. I’m 
happy they offer it.

Again, once you hear the tipping button, swipe with one finger either to the 
right or left until you hear it say, “schedule in advance.” If you swipe in one 
direction and don’t hear it then swipe back in the opposite direction.

Have you kept the app updated? Perhaps you might want to check in the app store 
to see if there are any updates.

Sarai,

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the

hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more

Good luck.

Subject: scheduling an Uber ride?

Hi guys:
I was told we can now schedule an Uber ride, but I cannot figure out how to
do with Voiceover. Help!

RE: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Okay,

Seriously! I go to the Dr. Open Uber and see schedule a ride. For some reason 
it is available 20mi from my house but not at my house.

Lol because a drone can’t carry my heavy back side from place to place.

 

The drone industry though is killing the helicopter business.  No more need for 
expensive flights for arial photography and surveying etc.

 

I’m going to try it through uber next time the option is available.

Again, once you hear the tipping button, swipe with one finger either to the 
right or left until you hear it say, “schedule in advance.” If you swipe in one 
direction and don’t hear it then swipe back in the opposite direction.

 

Have you kept the app updated? Perhaps you might want to check in the app store 
to see if there are any updates.

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

 

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

 

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

 

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more 
apparent on the screens.

 

Good luck.

several aviation companies as customers.  Have been thinking about it for my 
commute from where I live in the woods to Boston everyday though.

Sarai, 

 

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the

in advance.” If you don’t locate it then swipe either right or left until you 
hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

 

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

 

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

 

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

 

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

 

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

 

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more 
apparent on the screens.

 

Good luck.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Joseph Hudson]

Actually, there's two ways of doing it. In the screening, where you can say 
where too, there is a another button that says schedule in advance. This will 
take you to where you could also schedule a ride in advance. so we have the 
schedule and advanced ride button on the home screen, and then you also have it 
in the where to area. I hope this helps.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Still no luck. The only thing I see is a tipping button. I have looked 
everywhere and I cannot find it. I was told we do have it. I even logged off 
and back on to the app. Also, how do you delete places were you've been? My 
feed is getting clogged up places that I've traveled that I do not want to save 
his favorites.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

Yep, this is fairly easy to set up. Keep in mind that it’s a 15 minute span 
rather than an exact time. I believe you also get a notification just before 
the 15 minutes starts and then another when you have a driver. 

I’ve only done this once with Uber and haven’t tried it on Lyft yet though we 
do have it here, and it worked well.

Re: scheduling an Uber ride?

[Eileen Scrivani]

Sarai, 

I just used this last week and it worked like a charm. Near the bottom of the 
screen, somewhere above the Home button, is a button that says “schedule a ride 
in advance.” If you don’t locate it then swipe either right or left until you 
hear it say just that and then double tap the button.

On the following screen, you can change the date of the ride if it isn’t the 
current date. Then go down a bit and there are picker buttons to select 
hour/minutes and either AM/PM. Once you have the date of your ride then move 
your finger near the bottom of the screen, probably just above the Home button 
again and double tap to “set the date.”

On the following screen you will set your pick up location and destination.

Once you get the address set the next screen for type of Uber ride you want 
will come up automatically. If your good with the uber-x economy then again, 
just above the home button is a “schedule ride” button. Double tap it and your 
ride will be set.

If at any time you need to cancel the ride you can double check it under the 
“upcoming rides” area.

Once your wait time starts I don’t think it will notify you until your ride is 
at the location.

I do wish they would make communicating with the driver easier or at least more 
apparent on the screens.

Good luck.

Eileen

Hi guys:
I was told we can now schedule an Uber ride, but I cannot figure out how to
do with Voiceover. Help!
