Uber is undoubtedly the largest platform for instant cab booking services. Uber is convenient, affordable and has a more global presence than other cab booking apps. At times due to unavailability of cabs at wee or busy hours, instant booking is not available in some places and the only solution is to get advance booking before those hours. Instead of solely relying on the Uber app to get you a cab, you can get an Uber ride through an alternative app like Kommen.

Schedule Uber With Kommen

Instead of scheduling Uber rides through the Uber app alone, it is possible to use a different app like Kommen to schedule a ride with Uber in advance. This is extremely convenient and ensures that the cab arrives right on time. It takes nearly 5 to 10 seconds to schedule the ride. The booking can be confirmed by selecting the pickup and drop destination by logging into your Uber account just once through the Kommen app. The best part of such alternate an app is it not only helps in booking the normal Uber rides but is applicable for UBER X, UberGO, Uber Black, UBER pool etc.

Using apps to Pre book Uber is convenient as the cab can be scheduled anytime and on cancellation by the driver, it is re-booked automatically again. One of the limitations of the Uber is that scheduling a pick-up in advance is limited to only for few cities. This is where alternate apps like Kommen will be quite helpful as they can schedule Uber in other cities. With Kommen, you can schedule your Uber taxi ahead of time. You can schedule your rides for up to 30 days away. The Kommen app works hand in hand with the Uber app.

To schedule Uber in advance is a sure way of managing emergency situation. There are lot of customers who have agreed they have used alternate apps instead of the official app from Uber to book rides for airports, job interviews, first day at work etc. Kommen has proven reliable during periods of no network coverage and also booking rides ahead before you arrive in a new city.
