How much should you tip Uber drivers? Similar to tipping for other services, like getting a massage or going to the nail salon, the rule of thumb is to tip 20%, says Sokolosky. So if your ride costs $30—an average cost for a moderate trip in most cities—then you'll tip $6, for a total of $36.

If no one picks up your order, you can contact Uber Eats and they'll cancel the order for you and give you a refund. You usually have to wait until it's been a while – i.e. you can't cancel your order if you haven't been waiting very long.
An Uber driver can wait as long as they want, and still get paid for the ride, as long as the ride is not canceled. If the driver does cancel the ride, they will get paid only if they waited a minimum of 5 minutes. Some drivers will wait the 5 minutes so that they get paid something for the inconvenience.
