Uber Introduces The Option To Schedule Your Taxi Rides

There's no denying the fact that ever since taxi service providers such as Uber and Ola have come into the picture, the commuting scenario around the world has become easier. Recently, Uber has introduced the 'Scheduled Rides' feature. This means that now customers can use the app and schedule their cab requirements in advance. The time window can be 30 minutes in advance to even 30 days in advance. This should come as a big relief for people who might have to catch a flight or attend a meeting across the town. All one needs to do is set the pick-up date, time of pick-up, location and destination.

The prices of the 'Uber Scheduled Rides' will be more or less similar to a UberX ride and of course, will be subject to the pricing condition prevailing at the time of the ride and not when the request for a cab is put in. Also, the company has said that the 'Surge Pricing' will apply to Uber Scheduled Rides as well. It is a policy wherein the company hikes the prices of cab services in times of high demand.
