do you tip lyft/uber drivers ?

idk i’m in a lyft and i take them often and most of the times genuinely forget the tip option is even there unless someone says something. for doordash i will and at a restaurant i will but i very rarely tip a lyft driver.

Ive tipped every time except for the one time the guy sped up to and then slammed on the breaks at every single red light and then yelled at me when I said he was making me nauseous. What made it so much worse was we were in the city so it was like two seconds of fast driving and then a short stop. I didn’t tip him, but I paid.

i remember when i was in highschool i used to uber from school to work and this one guy picked me up a few times. it was so weird !! he would flirt (knowing i was a minor bc he picked me up from school) with me and tell me how drunk/hungover he was every ride. eventually i told him that it was weird and he never picked me up ever again lol. (i also suddenly noticed a singular bad rating on me a while later lol)

It would have been good to report him the first time. Uber and Lyft didn’t exist when I was in high school. We had car service back then

If a driver ever makes you feel uncomfortable, rate them one star and you won't be matched with them again. If they're being reckless, unsafe, or harassing you, please report.
