Does reserving an Uber fix the price?
Reserving an Uber does not fix the price. When you reserve an Uber, you are simply booking a ride for a specific date and time in advance. However, the final fare for your ride is still subject to factors such as distance, duration, and surge pricing, which can fluctuate based on demand and other conditions at the time of your actual ride. Therefore, while reserving an Uber guarantees you a ride at your preferred time, it does not guarantee a fixed price.
