When I arrived at Bilbao airport, I discovered there was a bus strike and it took me a couple of hours to get from the airport to the Renfre at the Intermodal and then on to Mozart Plaza. I cannot afford that type of unpredictable delay back the other way because I don't want to miss a flight. I tried to schedule an Uber for Thursday morning at 9am and Uber said it is not available in this location - even though it looks like if I tried to go right now, there are rides available. Maybe scheduling doesn't work so well here? Or is there a more reliable way to guarantee I have transportation to the airport from Mozart Plaza 5 days from now at 9AM?

Book a taxi. We have just spent 60 days in Spain and found taxis to be inexpensive and reliable. One of our Airbnb hosts said the Uber isn't commonly used and to always take a taxi.

Uber is not a big thing in many cities in Spain and taxis offer a great service (clean, efficient, cheap). https://www.taxibilbao.com/reserva-regular to book a taxi ahead. All taxis are metered and run under municipal license, with the same prices.

Well, how delightful! I made a reservation online with radiotaxi and within minutes a real person asked for clarification on directions to confirm the pickup. Awesome! They don't even have an app. It's all done with real people. How delightful!
Thank you for your advice
