With Lyft, Gett, and Uber and others, New York City might just be the world’s most saturated ride-hailing market.
Uber’s users will be happy to know that starting today, you can book rides up to 30 days in advance through the app. When you book a car, you get timely reminders to make sure you don’t forget to hop on, although surge pricing still applies.
Being able to book rides in advance seems great for fixed-time appointments like getting to the airport or an interview — it’s one less thing to forget when you’re in a hurry.
