Abstract
A method and system for predictive location selection are described. A network computer system can preselect a service area, prior to receiving a service request from a user, based on the position of the user, a destination, and proximate available service providers, among other factors. In response to the user inputting the destination, the network computer system determines probability scores for predefined service areas based on likelihoods of the proximate available service providers being available at a time when the user submits a service request. The network computer system uses the probability scores to select an appropriate service area and transmits data corresponding to the optimal service area to the user.
