Lyft drivers understand that some passengers tip and some don't. Overall, they're pretty happy with any amount they get. I've been there before, and even a dollar makes a driver's day a little better.
High safety standardsSee our Community Guidelines. All drivers must pass a background check before driving with Lyft. After that, they're required to pass an annual background check. We also continuously monitor for criminal convictions.
When your ride ends, the app generates an itemized record of our trip earnings, including the fare, any bonuses, and a tip if there is one. If you tip me tomorrow, or two weeks from now, I can see the updated ride receipt. I rarely get cash tips — maybe about $10 a month.
The likely reason for this is that during the set up process Lyft was unable to verify the card with your bank. This is probably due to your bank flagging the transaction as fraudulent. Call your card provider and tell them your issue and it will mostly like become resolved with a simple verification process.
