Do you tip your UBER/LYFT driver?

Question

I'm wondering because I live in Florida and I rarely use a taxi or public transportation. I went to D.C. and used UBER and LYFT the whole time. I didn't even think about tipping, until I saw one of my colleagues from the area doing it. I got a lot of mix opinions about it. So I'm just wondering..

I want to see the reactions of consumers, and people that have this as their business.

Thank you ❤

Answer

I've never tipped Uber drivers. I mean I think it's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I don't even know why we tip taxi drivers. Driving you from A to B is their job.

Answer

Generally, no unless they do something that I think is worth a tip. For example, helping me with bags, having a nice conversation, making sure I'm okay with the radio and air conditioning, etc. Not everyone does those things so when I meet drivers who do I like to tip.

Answer

It depends on the driver and how far I'm going. Usually I'll throw them a few extra dollars if I have cash. Uber doesn't give the option to add a tip on the app, lyft does.
