Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend depending on uber in rural areas like ours. When reserving an uber in advance, they don’t actually book a specific driver yet - the app waits till the time you “reserved” and then automatically starts searching for you a driver, and if there are no drivers in the area at that time, then there is no one to accept it. And there aren’t always drivers in our area early in the morning or late at night. 

I have run into this issue before. The reserve in advance feature is kind of pointless.

We just had exactly the same experience-last week.
We booked in advance.
Uber showed up early, and as we were moving bags to the outside step, it took off!
It left had been waiting 5 minutes, and left at exactly the time we had booked.
Luckily, another was within 5 minutes away so and, given the hour and that it was Sat., there was no issue with arriving on time.
But, while Uber is usually reliable….

Jane,
 
I used to use Uber, but they have now stranded me twice on early morning rides to Logan after I set a reservation the day before. Now I book a taxi service.

Subject: [LincolnTalk] Taxi to airport: recommendations

Hello all: I am relatively new to Lincoln (three years in May) but have
never in that time used a taxi to the airport from here.

Can someone recommend a taxi company/service that will be reliable in
picking me up at 5:45 am?

Your suggestions are much appreciated!!

Jane Haltiwanger
