    You're leaving for the airport in an hour, so you check your

    Uber app

    and see that there are plenty of cars in your area—perfect. Except that when you actually go to order your Uber, it winds up being a 15-minute wait, making you nervous about catching your flight.



    Uber 

    is aiming to fix this issue with

    its latest update

    , offering a new on-time scheduled pickup guarantee that allows riders to book a ride up to 30 days in advance—and if your ride is late, you'll get an Uber credit. To book in advance, you'll reserve a window of time (usually about 10 minutes) for your driver to arrive. You can schedule the arrival time anywhere from 30 days to 30 minutes ahead of time.

    Other helpful tools included in the update include:
