Uber drivers have to submit their rating of you before they see if you gave them a tip so it doesn't matter. A cash tip before you get out of the car would almost certainly guarantee a five star rating.

Ratings don't affect tips, and tips aren't tied to 5-star ratings. However, riders using Uber and customers using Uber Eats must rate their trip before they can add a tip.
Do Uber Eats Drivers See Tips Before Delivery? If a customer tips before checking out, Uber Eats drivers can see the tip. This is often what helps drivers determine if they'll take an order. On average, Uber Eats drivers make $10 an hour without tips, so they rely on the tips to make more money.
In general, the system is designed to be anonymous, but there are a few ways a driver can deduce that a particular rider gave them a low rating. No, we would not have that information. Also because a rider has 2-days to give a rating, it would be impossible to ever know for sure.
Tips are charged from your card automatically if within 30 minutes after the end of the ride you gave the driver a positive rating (or no rating at all) and tapped Done. No tip is given if within 30 minutes after the end of the ride you gave the driver a negative rating and tapped Done.
What happens if you get a bad Uber or Lyft rating? It brings your overall average score down, and while you won't necessarily be banned by the service if it plummets – being kicked off Uber or Lyft is determined on a case-by-case basis – a low rating could mean fewer drivers will want to pick you up.
You'll see how many drivers gave you a stellar 5-star rating, how many handed out the dreaded single star, and everything in between. The ratings breakdown is available to all Uber users right in the Privacy Center, which can be accessed by logging into your account online or in the app.
When you take an Uber ride, you get to rate your driver — but your driver also gets to rate you as a rider. You may already know how to view your average Uber rating as a rider. For most people, it's probably floating somewhere between 4.5 and 5 stars.
Only about 16% of Uber rides receive tips, and only 1% of riders leave a tip for every single ride, the study found. The researchers, who published their findings in conjunction with the National Bureau of Economic Research, also found that higher-rated drivers and riders receive more tips and tip more often.
Uber wouldn't provide information about average ratings, but driver Harry Campbell, 29, says that most riders are a 4.8 — and anything below a 4.6 signals a problematic passenger.
In order to ensure a consistent and reliable experience, we are unable to remove individual trip ratings on request. Keep in mind that although you will rate a rider after every trip, riders are not required to do the same. Ratings are optional for riders.
Do Uber drivers see my profile photo and last name on their screen? On a ping screen we see your first name, rating and ETA to your pickup spot. Nothing more. While en route, we could dig into waybill and sometimes see the first letter of your last name (as in Densel B).
Unless you actually work for Uber it's a mystery as to the algorithm they use to signal that a rider is a “Top Tipper”. In my limited experience getting these trips, it would appear that it is based on how often someone tips rather than the size of the tip they leave.
