There seems to be a lot of confusion about tipping Uber (and other car services) drivers. I generally tip the driver $5 for a short trip and more for a long one. I give the driver cash at the end of the trip. Not sure how others do it. Please share...
We had our first Uber and Lyft experiences this summer in our trip to LA, I believe we only tipped 8 cents at max for some of the longer rides, not much tipping done in the earlier rides from what I vaguely remember.
I tip the same as I would for a yellow cab -- 15% to 20% but maybe a bit more on a short ride. A ride has to be really awful for me to leave no tip at all and that's only happened to me a few times.

I don't tip. I am tired of the tipping culture in NYC.
The only way I wouldn't tip is if the car was dinged up and dirty on the inside. I always check the car on the app before agreeing to the ride because I want a clean car inside and out, and definitely no driver that smokes. If they smoke, they WILL get a smaller tip for sure. I don't want my clothes smelling like an ashtray.

Are they allowed to smoke??
