Uber in Paris and other parts of Europe

I'll be traveling with my family this summer (5 of us in total), and although we plan to use public transportation most of the time, on a few occasions, we will need to take an uber. If anyone has had experience with uber in Europe, I'm hoping you can answer a few questions. Do I need to set up a separate uber account when I go abroad? Am I able to charge the fee to my credit card, as is done in the United States? Also, very importantly, am I able to arrange for an uber pickup ahead of time? There will be one time, when we will need to catch an early train in Paris, where I would need to arrange for a 6:00 AM pick up the night before in order to get to the train station on time. I'm hoping that this will all be a simple procedure in terms of being able to use uber in Europe, but I just want to make sure. Thank you for any information that you can give me with these questions.

No. Uber may not be arranged for other than immediate pickup.

Snapcar or IDcab may be arranged in advance for transportation to train stations.
