What additional benefits are there to scheduling your ride ahead of time that you don't get from just calling an Uber when you are ready?

  • Is it basically just for "I might be busy, don't let me forget to call an Uber", or
  • Are there additional benefits, such as you are more likely to be able to get an Uber at your scheduled time if otherwise the app may have shown "No Drivers available"?

At this point, I think the benefit of scheduling an Uber ride ahead of time is basically, as you said, "I might be busy, don't let me forget to call an Uber." It doesn't look like Uber sends out any kind of special requests to drivers when you schedule ahead of time; they just send out the usual request automatically when your requested time approaches. Thus, scheduling ahead of time does not guarantee a ride.
