You know the drivers rate you as a passenger, same way you can rate them, right? I have to think that if you stiff your driver it would negatively affect your rating, making future drivers leery of picking you up.

I don't see the harm in adding an extra couple bucks onto the total. Especially since the only times I ever need uber in my life are if I REALLY need a ride somewhere and am incapable of doing so on my own for whatever reason

Yes, but I only use those services on business travel and it all goes on the corporate card. I’d tip either way, honestly

Sure. But I might take an Uber once every 2 years.

Yes. It was great when Uber originally came on the scene as it wasn't too common to tip and no cash was a selling point, but obviously taxi/black car drivers have typically been tipped so arguably it's always been customary.

20% at minimum, as long as they perform their service adequately. For very short rides, I'll tip more because they just dont make money on those rides.

I know how much Uber takes from them and what it takes for them to turn a buck. Ubers are essential for my work, so I do what I can to keep the good drivers on the road.

I probably spend 10-15K on ubers for the year for work.

Tip in cash if I can. I assume Uber is taking a cut.

Yes, and usually a decent amount. I appreciate my scores being perfect as I think it helps me get rides quicker.

Nope. Never have, never will. I only take one about once or twice a Year. Didn’t know I was “supposed to” until recently
