Long(ish) distance Uber…

I’m arriving into Boston Logan at the end of August. 

I’m hoping to take an Uber over to Albany NY.  It’s around 200 miles. 

Has anyone done a journey like this using Uber?  Any issues?  Is pre booking necessary or just use the app on arrival?

Any other suggestions? 

TIA.

    Pre-booking is no different to a normal booking so no advantage other than possibly missing surge charge

    I've known people that have... main issue is drivers generally dont want what is almost certainly a one way trip for them and so many will cancel the job as they wont be paid for the 200 miles back.
