Horror Night off property hotel

[LaidBackDad]

Thinking of doing a weekend trip for Horror Nights at Universal and considering staying at an off property hotel. We will not have a car and am planning on using mostly Uber or hotel shuttle if it isn’t too inconvenient.
My question is how reliable is the Uber situation at 1:00 am or 2:00 am leaving Horror nights with the crowds. Am I better off just staying on property for guaranteed late night transportation back to the hotel?

Not sure about Uber availability, so I'll let someone else tackle that. Although I suspect it wouldn't be a problem. We had no problem getting an Uber at midnight following Howl-o-Scream at Seaworld.

You will not find an off-site hotel shuttle that is useful for leaving HHN, assuming you are staying past 9pm.

You might consider an off-site but walkable hotel, such as those across the street on Major Blvd (Holiday Inn Across from Universal or the DoubleTree next to it). That will be a safe walk, but it's a hike after all the walking at HHN. The Endless Summer hotels may be similarly enough priced to be a better option.

If staying offsite, I would just Uber to and from the Hard Rock hotel which is very close to the Studios entrance… just a few walkable minutes.

The issue with ride share might be with dynamic (surge pricing) more then availability

Not sure when you are going and prices, but IMO the best option is Universal Endless Summer.
I've looked at staying off site since I have status with most hotel chains and its just not worth it IMO.
Price it out and consider the cost and aggravation of being off site.

I recall a map of where to cut through the Hard Rock parking lot to the lobby. Seems like half the distance than walking to ride share area in the garage.
