If the stop is in the straight or direct path of the entire ride, the stop charge would be minimal or almost transparent.
Do you tip Uber drivers cash? You can definitely tip Uber drivers in cash. In fact, some drivers may prefer it and choose to not accept tips through the app. If you have a few dollars, you should give that to the driver at the end of the trip as a gesture of appreciation.
