Any luck getting an uber that early on a Saturday morning? I'll be gone for 11 days and trying to save parking fees.

Can you not preorder it at that time there? I do that all the time in Metairie to MSY as early as 5am for early flights

In another thread someone commented that the preorder wasn't a guarantee that you would have a driver. I'm concerned because it's so early in the morning.

How reliable are the taxis in BR? Will they let you schedule the night before?

Hope you don’t have to stop for any trains.

There is a decent chance you will be able to get one. But I for sure would have a backup plan just in case

Not sure where you live but I've gotten ubers quite a few times that late in Baton Rouge but mostly from Lauburge or LSU area

I almost missed a flight in Memphis because my scheduled Uber ride in the morning did not find any drivers. Ended up getting a normal taxi. I would do that.

A few weeks ago I had to leave very early for the airport and scheduled an uber in advance. You're right in that it's not guaranteed; you put in your request and it says it's accepted your request but you aren't in the clear yet sinc ea driver hasnt' actually accepated. It was a few hours later but I got a notification that a driver had accepated and agreed to my request.

So for OP I would definitely preorder an uber a day or 2 in advance then give it time to see if there's any takers. If nobody has accepted by the afternoon prior I'd probably think about other options I guess?

I'd rather pay the parking fees than risk not getting an Uber, chances would be slim at that time

I don't know anything about BTR but in Atlanta the parking is like $35/day. I would probably do anythign in my power to get a ride instead of paying nearly $400 for parking lol

It literally took me 30 seconds to go to the BTR website and find out the garage parking is 12 a day and the economy lot is 9

You must not fly out of ATL much. I fly at least 2x a month Parking is $16-$19 in most covered ATL lots. Unless you’re parking in the hourly lot next to the terminal
