What are the chances of finding an Uber to BR airport at 4:30 am?

Trying to plan ahead.

Not an issue. Plus drivers can turn the app on sitting at their house and see if anyone wants a ride. no one looking? back to bed.

Actually you cannot schedule a ride in advance. All that does is schedule a REQUEST for a ride be made at a time in the future. It does not find a driver ahead of time and reserve him or her for you.

Meaning if there are no drivers online when your pre-scheduled request is made then you won’t have a ride.

It’s no different than trying to find your ride at the time you need it.

I don’t drive for Uber but I’ve looked into scheduling a ride before for the same reason the OP is and I quickly found out it’s not a viable option. The below is straight from Uber’s website.

Q: Am I guaranteed to get a ride?

A: Uber actively monitors availability to ensure that a car will arrive during the period you schedule a ride, but does not guarantee your scheduled ride. In the rare case a car cannot be found, you’ll be notified immediately.

You’ll definitely be okay doing Uber at that time. Just reserve one 15 minutes earlier because available ones may be further away than normal.
