Lol ride scheduling is a scam though. Last I saw they don't make any promises that you'll actually get a ride, they just automatically request it for you shortly before your scheduled time and you have to hope a driver is available.

Sure its one less thing to think about, but it's also no different from doing it manually. Same risks.

Regardless, I feel more conformable arranging a ride with hotel.

Absolutely. I should have clarified Uber's/Lyft's scheduling is the scam. At least a hotel would be willing to call a second taxi company if the first one flakes. Uber would never.

What's worse is it's also usually more expensive than just doing it at the moment
