There are gray areas because of the fuzzy relationship between the company and the drivers.

And, the company is totally quiet on the issue. They don't give an option
for tipping and say it isn't required. I've had one driver refuse sighting
company policy, but, every other one has gratefully accepted. Either it is
or it is not acceptable, and the company should clearly say so.

The fixed tip thing in Uber is only for actual taxis that some cities let
you book with Uber. Otherwise, there is no tip option.

As far as the dog, while in theory, you and your service animal are
protected udner the ADA, in practice, you may find the reality to be totally

different. Maybe the best way to avoid any unpleasant issues or drivers when

it comes to the dog is to have your profile photo of you and your dog all
harnessed and ready to go. At least this way, whoever accepts your fair when

you put out a request should at the very least be aware that you have a
guide.
I know with Lyft, you can at the end of the ride when rating the driver also

tip a set amount or enter in an amount you deem fit. I haven't used Uber in
a while, but don’t' recall this being an option in the app. I believe you
can set a fixed tip amount within your profile page online. I don’t' know if

that's ideal in case you get a rude or crappy driver, but there you go.

At the end of the ride, the app automatically charges your credit card.
There is no way to add a tip. If your city offers lift, that app does offer
that capability. As far as a dog, while trying to stay on topic for this
list, I admit that I am not one to inform the driver ahead of time. Uber
does have some issues with refusing to take dog users, I am of the opinion
that is their problem. The charge is for the entire ride, not per person.

Hi,

I've got my app all set up and I'm ready to go.

Can someone please explain to me what happens, or what I need to do, at
the end of the ride to make the payment? How can I add a tip?

If my wife and I take the ride, the price is for the ride, and not per
person, right?

If I'm travelling alone with my guide dog, I'm wondering if anyone has run

into problems with this, or what is the best way to let the driver know
ahead of time.

Thanks in advance. Keith
