So, if they have corrected this, it's good to hear. Uber's speciality though, does not work on pre-booking rides. It works on connecting you the driver with the closest ride and also motivating drivers based on supply and demand.

In essence, pre-booked fares is not their focus.
I will give it a try based on everyone here recommending it.

As far as the cabs go, I use checker and every time I have pre-booked they have shown up in advance, professional and get you to the airport.
Again, disagree with the bolded part.

Open the app. In the field that says "Where to?" there's an icon to the right. Looks like a car with a clock. You click that to schedule a ride. Like I did a couple weeks ago.

As I said before, I've used Uber to book early in the morning on 3 occasions since December. Two of those were scheduled rides.
