I am glad you let me know, the solution to that is leave a lot of buffer time, for things like that. An even safer approach is to schedule two rides, one from Lyft and one from Uber, 10-20 minutes apart (and still with plenty of buffer time), and cancel the other one (which serves as protection) as soon as one of the two arrives. Unfortunately you may have to do $ht like that, unless you prefer to miss your flight.

Back before covid I would occasionally double call rides from both apps, especially when time-sensitive, because I had such a high ride drop rate (even with a near 5 rating), it was infuriating, so I had to.
