Late Night/Early Morning Uber at PTI (Raleigh: hotel, airport)

Does anyone have an idea on how reliable Uber/Lyft is during the graveyard shift? I have a flight arriving at 2am on a weekday and am wondering if Uber is an option.

TIA!

You can make an appointment to be picked up at a specific time. I just tried it a couple days ago. It worked really well. On you app screen there should be a icon of a car with a clock. Hit icon to schedule pick up time.

I use Lyft. I've used it to and from both the airport and the train during the night. No problem.

I'll just add that my wife and I were in Chicago this past weekend. We had never used Lyft or Uber before, but used it quite a bit while in Chicago. We had to use Lyft last night to get us back from the Raleigh Airport to the hotel where our car was at, and it was very smooth. Of course, neither of these times were during a "graveyard" shift. But I would assume you should always have someone who's willing to take that time of night, especially for those who need a ride from the bars and clubs.

Thanks for the responses! I'm well versed with Uber/Lyft but was just a little worried about getting it in a sleepy area of a relatively sleepy town -- it's taken me 15 minutes to get a 2am weekend ride from Elm St before!

Will use the call-ahead feature -- looking forward to being back in the Boro!
