I've used them about 120 times in the past twelve months (doctors' appointments, shopping, pharmacy, etc).
They typically arrive in about 5 minutes.

I needed a ride at 5 A.M. this past Monday to get to a medical test at a hospital and had to call a taxi as no Uber was available at that hour.
It took the taxi 45 minutes to arrive.
