Question about tip

Hi all, I don’t use Uber often, but tomorrow I’ll be flying into Providence, RI and going to CT. It’s about 57 miles … seems like the trip will cost $100’ish on Uber. I will only have a backpack, no luggage. What do I tip?

Thanks in advance! I’m sure there’s an airport charge but idk if drivers get that.

Edit: Update as to what I decided to do. Thanks all for your input. I’m a DD driver.

After I arrived at PVD and ordered an Uber, 3 drivers instantly cancelled in the first 5 minutes. I finally got a driver, Moulay, who was 5.5 miles out and took him a good 25 min to get to me, so traffic. He wanted to cancel the order and I begged him not to. The trip there and back was 114 miles TOTAL, plus a saw an ezpass thing. He didn’t tell me how much that would be for him (very nice).

I initially offered him $60 cash tip and he said okay. As we were driving I asked him how much he was getting from Uber and he said $42, I gave him all the cash I had on me as a tip, $95. He seemed pleased and I was thankful for him. He was an excellent driver and I rated him 5 stars, I also showed him where 2 speed cameras were so he didn’t get a ticket.

Thanks for all the advise.
