Do you tip your rideshare driver?

I am the driver and your wife is the rider. She tips me well.

Absolutely. Why wouldn’t you?

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

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.

I do, more just posing the question. I've seen a few articles on tip fatigue.

Last guy I spoke with said 50% I believe. If you take an uber 45-55 minutes and the fair is only $50, then they are only getting $25 for almost an hour worth of work and also the wear and tear on their car.

It may be slightly more profitable. Either way, good. I'm all for them making as much money as possible. The better the money, the more likely you'll get quality drivers.

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