Why pre-book a ride before you leave the US
Uber and Lyft coverage in Scotland is patchy and unreliable, especially at Glasgow and Prestwick airports and in the Highlands. Pre-booking a licensed private hire car means a named driver is waiting at arrivals with your name on a sign, the fare is shown in GBP before you book, and you don't fumble with a foreign SIM card to summon a ride after a transatlantic flight.
