Scheduling a ride with Uber

Scheduling a ride with Uber - Focused woman checking planner information in car

I would like to schedule a ride with Uber a few days in advance. The city where the ride is going to take place is in a different time zone than where I am currently located. If I need a ride at 18:00 according to the local time of my destination, do I need to input 18:00 or what 18:00 corresponds to in the local time of my current location?

Moved from the comment:

Before doing so, please make sure you know what "scheduling a ride" with Uber means. I met someone who assumed it was like booking a taxi - but it is not. It is more like an alarm "schedule uber ride" set on your phone 15 minutes before the ride, which launches an app and requests Uber on your behalf 15 minutes before the ride.

Personally I found this functionality being utterly useless, because it does not protect you from surge charges (will you still ride if it is a 4x surge?), and there's no guarantee you'd get a car.

Please see the relevant help section on Uber web site
