Scheduled car services are a pretty different business from Uber. When I schedule a ride to the airport, I'm paying a premium to have a highly reliable on-time pickup. And, coming home, I'm paying for a highly reliable pickup where I expect my service to do their darndest to work around flight and flight schedule changes. (There's also basically no Uber out where I live.)

The car service is actually cheaper than Uber for me - I don't do it on the way back because there's reliably 100 Ubers hovering around JFK.
