Re: Uber in Florida
The whole Uber model is centered around cashless convenience. This makes it Tip-less as long as there's no tipping within the app as far as I'm concerned. I also imagine that the majority of riders don't tip based on the various discussions I've seen online regarding this.

Re: Uber in Florida
Uber's App now allows you to tip. And now they are going to charge you per-minute if the driver has to wait beyond two minutes:
Uber adds the option to tip drivers, and you'll pay for making them wait - LA Times |
Re: Uber in Florida
That $5 cancelation fee is a scam too.
Yesterday I was in Noblesville IN and requested a ride to the airport (approx $40 ride). The driver who accepted my request was (initially) 35 mins away, but the app quickly corrected that to 17 mins. After waiting about 5-6 minutes I checked the app again and he was still stated to be 17 mins away and not moving. So I called him - and just got his voicemail. With that I canceled him and needless to say got hit with a $5 fee. When I re-requested the ride, a new driver accepted and was at my location within 5 minutes. Uber is still so much better than a regular cab (which would have charged me more than $100 for that ride), but nickel & dime'ing me for 5 bucks like that annoys me somewhat. I think Uber have relented to driver tipping within the app, because Lyft already do that and a lot of their drivers also work the Lyft app too. |
Re: Uber in Florida
I can see the two minute thing being problematic too. I've definitely missed that window in the past when the vehicle has ended up being on the opposite side of a busy urban street and I couldn't safely cross the road in that time.

Re: Uber in Florida
Uber is falling apart, with a major leadership vacuum (the CEO has now resigned), major workplace harassment issues and driver tax status problems in several countries.
The next few months could be very interesting! |

How to lose a lot of money, invest in Uber.
There valuation depends on doing away with the driver. |

Re: Uber in Florida
Adding the option to tip, just took away the one competitive edge that I appreciated in Uber.

The small silver lining is that the statement makes it sound like the change is US-only. I use Uber pretty much everywhere I travel. |

They have good customer service in my experience. If you send a brief complaint (even just a one or two-liner) they'll almost certainly refund.

Yes - you'll basically be buying your passenger rating.
