How to Schedule an Uber Ride

Scheduling an Uber ride is a convenient way to ensure you have a ride when you need it. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Open the Uber App

Launch the Uber app on your smartphone. Make sure you have an active account and are logged in.

Step 2: Tap the Scheduled Rides Tab

On the app’s home screen, tap the “Scheduled Rides” tab located at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Select Pickup Time and Date

On the Scheduled Rides page, you will see a calendar and time selectors. Use these to choose the date and time you want your ride to arrive. You can schedule a ride up to 30 days in advance or as little as 30 minutes from the current time.

Step 4: Set Your Destination

Enter your destination address in the “Where to?” field. You can use the search bar or select a recent or saved destination.

Step 5: Choose a Vehicle Type (Optional)

Uber offers multiple vehicle types, such as UberX, UberXL, and Uber Black. If you have a preference, you can choose a specific vehicle type by tapping the “Vehicle Type” option.

Step 6: Confirm Your Ride

Once you have selected all the details, tap the “Schedule” button to confirm your ride. You will receive a notification confirming your scheduled ride.

Step 7: Wait for Your Ride

On the scheduled day and time, your Uber driver will arrive at the pickup location. You will receive an alert when your driver is on their way.
