The Uber app does not include a tip when billing you for a trip fare. In most cities, Uber is a cashless experience. As a rider, you are not obligated to offer your driver a gratuity in cash. If you decide you would like to tip, your driver is welcome to accept.
The trip fare does not include a tip. However, riders and Uber Eats customers are free to tip at any time. In-app tipping is now available on all trips in cities that have the tipping functionality enabled. Any cash gratuity offered by a rider is voluntary.

Uber advises that it's safer to sit in the back of the car because it creates two possible exits and increases space between the driver and the passenger. Additionally, sitting on the passenger side instead of directly behind the driver can help you keep an eye on both the driver and the road.

Uber drivers typically collect $24.77 per hour in passenger fares. From that, Uber takes $8.33 in commissions and fees, about a third of all passenger fares. Vehicle expenses like gas and maintenance cost drivers about $4.87 per hour, Mishel determined, even after taking into account their tax deductibility.
According to a recent survey of close to 1200 drivers, rideshare platforms revealed that Lyft drivers averaged around $17.50 per hour, close to $2 more per hour than Uber drivers. Lyft and Uber drivers earn approximately the same average per month, but the tips and earnings per trip are higher for Lyft.
“People are more likely to tip when paying a person directly,” he says. “However, people tip Uber drivers through the app after the ride has been completed. If they don't tip, no one will know and they don't have that interaction with the driver. The nature of Uber tipping just makes it much easier to ignore.”
Yes it is rude. The driver is using their own personal car and with wear and tear and gas prices on the rise a few dollars is the only respectful thing to do. You would tip your waitress or waiter and your hairdresser because they provided you a service.
For years, Uber has told it's riders that “you don't need to tip the driver, since they make a good amount of money already” or something like that. All the while, Uber has dropped the route rates, and driver pay, and added charges that the driver gets no part of. Basically, screw the driver.
Tipping is voluntary. Tips are not included in the fare, nor are they expected or required." So without the ability to tip on the app, and explicit marketing from Uber that a ride was cash-free, many customers took that to mean that you paid your fare, and that was that, no tip.

4. Be a back-seat rider. Whenever possible, sit in the back seat, especially if you're riding alone. This helps ensure that you can safely exit on either side of the vehicle to avoid moving traffic, and it gives you and your driver some personal space.
Sit in the front seat if you want to talk: Both Uber and Lyft welcome passengers to sit in the front seat next to the driver, but it's not required. Also, to avoid any problems when your driver arrives, it's best to call them or text ahead of time and let them know you're bringing a pet.
You should probably tip your Uber driver more often. According to a study released this week, 60 percent of Uber's riders don't tip at all. Just 1 percent tip each time. And when riders do tip, the average is about $3.
The average rating is known to be 4.80 in most US cities. 4.90 is considered very high, 4.7~4.8 is considered good, and below 4.6 is considered “could use improvement.” According to many studies, less than 5% of drivers who regularly drive have anything above 4.90.
On the Uber app, a 4-star rating is defined as “OK, but had an issue,” a 3-star rating is “Disappointing,” 2-stars is “Bad,” and 1-star is “Terrible.” Uber said it will launch a campaign to educate riders and drivers about its updated community guidelines.
Why can't I see an option to add a tip? You may need to update your app to enable tipping. Additionally, some drivers may opt to not accept tips through the app. Or you might be in a region where in-app tipping isn't available yet.
Some drivers welcome cash tips, but it's completely voluntary. Passengers using Lyft can leave a cash tip, or add a tip using the app. The tip will be charged to the credit card on file. Lyft customers have up to 72 hours to leave a tip after a ride.
