Traffic and tolls might be better out of the Atlanta airport, but even so even if you factor that in, are Uber drivers in Georgia really going to jump on that run?

Are they really obligate too?

Or or would you find yourself at the airport looking at a bunch of icons on your phone, and never get a car to the curb?

Genuine question.
Yes and no... if I understand correctly, Uber drivers are not informed of the location of where you're going until they arrive at the pick up destination. I've had to make a few long haul trips before (like 60-90minutes) for work and I never had to wait any longer than others. But I think there are some options for them to refuse if it's too long.

But I know for a fact that there are places in the southwest from airports to cities where Uber/Lyft drivers routinely do 50-60 mile trips.
