Uber/Lyft Safety

I'll be arriving at BWI and traveling to a hotel near the harbor in Baltimore. Is Uber or Lyft okay for a woman traveling by myself? The other option is Super Shuttle but it has a lot of bad reviews for not getting places on time. I think I've watched one too many Dateline shows....

Uber/Lyft is generally fine. Just check the license plate and make/model of the vehicle.

Note that depending on time of day and your willingness to walk a few blocks, you can also just take the MTA Light Rail directly from the BWI terminal to the Inner Harbor.

And if you are still nervous, ask the driver for the name of the passenger they are picking up.

On my last few Uber experiences, when I got into the car, after confirming make/model and plate, the driver confirmed my name. I think drivers want to confirm they are picking up the correct passenger as well.
