此前Uber对于网络约车提前预定服务并不感冒。去年9月，Uber CEO特拉维斯·兰格尼（Travis Kalanick）曾向外界公开表示，公司无意于推出网络约车的提前预定功能，因为人们不需要这一功能，用户要想乘车的话，随时都可以通过简单操作，随时下单。
兰格尼当时曾拿“淋浴洗澡”来打比方。他说，网络约车就好比淋浴，试问：有人愿意提前安排自己的淋浴时间吗？答案是否定的。“你不需要安排洗澡时间。当你想冲澡时，只需要打开水龙头，便会有水流出。”
或许是竞争对手Lyft促动了Uber。
早在几个月前，Uber在美国市场上的最大竞争对手——Lyft开始测试网络约车预定服务，而且该服务已成为了Lyft当前关键卖点。不过Lyft的预定服务仅可提前24小时预约。数据显示，在美国商务旅行市场上，Lyft获取的市场份额已由原来4%呈现大幅增长。Lyft一直与客户保持着密切合作，凡有客户所需功能，Lyft会尽力满足。 Uber全球体验部门主管汤姆·法洛斯（Tom Fallows）称，“从很早以前开始，用户对于网络约车提前预订就有着很高呼声，作为一家随需应变的公司，我们对此了如指掌。”
