How does this handle to "surge pricing" spikes?

@gloftus1 It'd be cool if you could specify what surge rate you'd tolerate before having it cancel your ride.
Matt Galloway
@gloftus1 You get a notification of the amount when it shows up, and you can accept it through the app. We could make it so it auto accepts up to an amount - although not sure if Uber wants us to do that ;).

Hey Product Hunters! If you're like us, not being able to order Uber rides in advance has always been a hassle. So we created an app that would schedule them to arrive at the right time. Introducing TimeTravel! We book the rides so you don't have too. Hope you guys enjoy it :)

@shaw_nelson since you can't guarantee driver availability, how is this better than me pulling out my phone and hailing an Uber myself when I need one?

@chrismessina @shaw_nelson Exactly, it's not like Uber gave them special privileges. Pretty sure this just sets a timer and calls the Uber on zero. Lets you take care of that button press now rather than later I guess.

@chrismessina @shaw_nelson We can't absolutely guarantee ride availability, however, 95% of the time it will work exactly as expected!

@shaw_nelson - this has some similarities to UberEVENTS which launched a few weeks ago. Are you worried that Uber might build this functionality? If they do, what's your plan?
Nelson Shaw
@rrhoover It certainly has crossed our minds! Currently, there’s demand for this feature because it doesn’t exist in Uber. Building this app has certainly opened our eyes to the ride sharing landscape. If Uber do decide to build this functionality, there are other tangential rider & driver problems we could solve
