The driver knows where you are going after you enter the car and he presses “start trip”

Do Tip Regardless if you use Uber or Lyft! If your driver has a nice clean car and provides a comfortable, enjoyable and SAFE trip, TIP! If you’re not a driver you may not understand all the small things the best drivers do to make their passengers comfortable and to get them from A to B extremely cheap compared to…

You’re right. Uber does a GREAT JOB at misleading the riding public! They say “Tipping is not required” “No need for cash”, blah blah blah.

Uber does not pay wages—we get a percentage of the fare, and at times we do earn minimum or close to minimum wage. Further, over the years, Uber has cut rates again and again so that drivers earn a fraction of what the once did.

I drive for both Uber and Lyft in the San Francisco area. I have spoke with many passengers and to my surprise they believe that we make a lot of money and tips are included. Tips are not expected, but they are greatly appreciated when we do get them. Things to consider are:

As a driver, the most infuriating thing is waiting for the passenger, specially on Uber, where the clock doesn’t start until the passenger is in the car (with Lyft, it starts as soon as I arrive, but it is still a huge waste of the driver’s time to be waiting rather than clocking in miles). It feels like some…

As an Uber/Lyft driver (only part time - I’m saving money for grad school), here’s how I feel about tipping. If you’re going a good distance (say, a $15 fare or more), and you don’t cause any trouble, then I don’t really care if you don’t tip. But if you go a couple blocks or a mile away (which I make less than $3 off…

This is why they are being sued by drivers for lost tips. They try to create this tip free experience yet set their prices at rock bottom. Driving for Uber/Lyft is a hustle. You are on your own for all expenses and risk. I only drive now on Sat night and holidays. It’s a waste of time unless your really desperate and…

If you don’t tip cash, you won’t ever get a 5 star from me no matter how nice of person you are. Bring a couple bucks just for your drivers for the night. If they really suck that is the only reason not to tip. For the most of the time, you are getting a heavily discounted service being offered by people who really…

If you don’t tip, then you need a different driver everytime because they will rate you everytime. Don’t be a dick, and tip.

No, it doesn’t say anywhere on the Uber page that you “don’t” or “shouldn’t” tip. Of course you tip! Especially if you are going to be an ongoing customer.

You tip... in cash. That’s why it’s not in the app. It’s called “The way to appreciate his work!”

I always try to tip when I ride Uber. Uber has lowered their rates over the last year, which is great for me as a passenger, but it means the drivers are making less money. I don’t usually give much, just a couple dollars, but I feel better doing so. That being said, I do hope drivers aren’t rating people poorly for…
