Long-distance Uber/Lyft ride around Christmas

It's not a guarantee. You could look on taskrabbit or something and see if there's someone who could take you, but otherwise you may have to risk it with uber.

Saying that, it's certainly possible. Spoke with an uber driver yesterday - they don't get told where the passenger is going until they're in the car, and he liked the surprise of it.

However, a few months ago a passenger got in at the airport and it was a 3.5 hour drive! He double checked that was where she wanted to go, then took her all the way. Got a great hourly rate out of that one, and managed to pick up another person half way back.

The risk you have at busy times is of course surge pricing - it could throw your estimate of the price well out of reach....

You could also load up the uber map at the time you plan on landing the next few days, just to get an idea of how many ubers are around (I did this when wondering about a 4am pickup).
