    Default Tip Uber driver or not?

    I just found out Uber doesn't include the tips in their calculated fare. I have never tipped any drivers in the past because I thought the company had calculated that portion for drivers as well. Now some of the cheap rides I had seem unfair to the drivers.

    what do you think? Why uber doesn't implement tips in the fee?

    I've never had an uber only taken cabs before. But in a cab after you swipe your card it ask if you want to tip. I always do.

    I had so many Uber rides under $5. I should have known better.

    Yeah, tip in cash. It's much appreciated. Uber made my life so much easier this winter overseas and was SO amazing to me. The drivers greatly appreciate tips, I'm sure.

    I thought one of the big selling points of Uber was that it was prepaid and that you weren't expected to tip the drivers? In fact I thought they weren't even allowed to take tips? Maybe it has changed over time but I'm pretty sure it started this way and they advertised it as such.

    They are not supposed to take tips, but who is going to tell? If my ride was less than $5- I probably would too.

    I think Uber says you don't have to but I do. I Tip whenever I can esp people I know making minimum wage or like low earning careers. Especially if they're on time, have a clean car, and act professional.

    I always tip them and I have high ratings from drivers.

    I think they really appreciate it because not many people do or they assume it's included.

    Uber should add optional digital tipping.

    I tip them if they are on time and nice. I don't tip if they are rude, creepy, or seem like they are purposely getting lost to increase their earning.

    I tip Uber drivers - I've only had a few who say they aren't allowed to take tips and I just put it on their dash. They offer an amazing service for so little.

    Is that everywhere or only certain states? I just took an Uber the other day, and commented on how I wished they had a tipping option on the credit card, since I don't always have cash on me. My driver never mentioned it.
