Can you split Uber between 2 cards? No, unfortunately, you are only given the option to choose one credit card per ride.

4. Be a back-seat rider. Whenever possible, sit in the back seat, especially if you're riding alone. This helps ensure that you can safely exit on either side of the vehicle to avoid moving traffic, and it gives you and your driver some personal space.
You may occasionally get a ride request with a destination that's far away. You'll see “Long trip” with an estimated trip time at the bottom of your screen when one of these requests is sent to you. If a trip like this is farther than you want to drive, you can always decline.
Wondering how much to tip an Uber driver? Compensation and tipping etiquette explained. You should tip Uber and Lyft drivers between 10 and 20 percent based on quality of service. You should use a set tip of $4-$6 for rideshare delivery.
Tipping is optional. You are free to add a tip, and drivers are free to accept tips. How do I leave my driver a tip? The easiest way to tip your driver is through the app.
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.
Since many drivers do both Uber and Lyft, sometimes requests come in at the same time and drivers will do this to have the passenger cancel so they get a cancellation fee, said Campbell. Some drivers are just trying to get the passenger to cancel so they can collect the fee.
After you've been waiting for a rider for 2 minutes, a fee will be charged to them for the time you continue to wait. After you've been waiting for 5 minutes, you can choose to cancel the trip or continue to wait. A cancellation fee will still only be charged after you've waited for at least 5 minutes.
Can You Request a Female Uber Driver? No, you cannot request a driver based on gender, neither male nor female. Though female passengers may be more comfortable with a female driver, especially at night and in a deserted or unfamiliar area, it can be discriminatory to ask for a female driver only.
The main reason is to avoid drivers cherry picking rides. Some drivers want only short rides, others only want long rides. Drivers will also avoid going to certain areas of their city for whatever reason.
Uber is okay for a side hustle but if you trying to do it full time just beware you'll put an insane amount of miles on your vehicle. In 4 hours of driving I average about 150 miles. Pay seems like it's less and less as time goes on and fewer incentives to keep driving.
Can I pay for Uber with cash? Yes, you can pay with cash. Before requesting a ride, go to the Payment section in the app and select Cash. At the end of your trip, pay cash directly to your driver.
The Uber app will lose the split fare option in April as the company attempts to build a better system for sharing the cost of a ride. A replacement feature should roll out within the next few months, according to an Uber spokesperson.
