This means that after you schedule your Uber, a window will pop up confirming that your ride is scheduled, and your fare has been set. The exact fare you'll be paying at the end of the ride will be displayed in the window. 。

This feature isn't exactly new, though. Uber's chief rival Lyft rolled out a similar feature last year that shows users their locked-in rates for all rides.

Uber's feature is available in all U.S. cities where Uber operates. To use the feature, tap the car icon next to "Where to?" and select your date and time, add your pickup and dropoff locations, and select the type of Uber you're looking for. If your ride was scheduled more than an hour in advance, your upfront fare will be displayed.。
