When I take a ride it usually gives me 3 options

I usually pick the middle one unless there is a really enjoyable conversation or something then I'll pick the highest

If they just pick me up and drop me off without barely a word or hello I usually do the same. If they’re not weird and offer up some decent conversation or tips about whatever town I’m in if I’m traveling I’ll usually leave a couple dollars.

Is it your money or your company’s money?

Only used it twice. Don't recall tipping as an option then, it was a few years ago.

In those instances it was the same night. I was drunk on the way to where ever the frick we went and I was shite faced on the way back. I have no idea how much I even paid for it, let alone tipped...never even checked the charge. Didn't notice any significant changes in balance though.
Hate when I do that at gas stations though, don't even pay attention to the price and just swipe. Then you think about it immediately after you left the place with no receipt....damn it.
I only say this because there has been plenty of times where I was paying attention and the shite didn't add up...say something and they say oh yeah, forgot about this on here...or redo it and it's magically cheaper. This seems to be more common at stations ran by foreigners.

My company’s money. But if we are drunk on our own time they will expense it for us so we don’t get DWIs

Use that pea brain of yours.
How far was the trip
Was the driver friendly
Was the vehicle clean
Decide what you feel is the right thing to do

I use Uber exclusively when I travel for work and I always give 20% if the ride was at least good as it will be expensed. On my own dime then I will give around 15%.

If she's hot, 20%.
If it's a foreigner, not a damned thing.
