You don't need to tip for every ride especially rides where you felt uncomfortable during the ride or the car was very messy or smelly. But if the ride got you where you needed to go in a safe and efficient manner, you should tip at least 10%. 10% is acceptable for average service and 15% - 20% for exceptional service.

Four Uber drivers revealed why some passengers might have lower ratings than they expected. Obnoxious friends, slammed doors, and left crumbs could leave you with one star, they said. Loading cars with bags and making drivers wait could also bring ratings down.
Yes! However, I would suggest calling the driver and asking first. I would also recommend a nice tip. A driver's concern with such a long drive is that the passenger will not tip, typical of Uber riders, and he will have to return home with no fare/compensation for the 2 hour trip back.
With tips and bonuses factored in, Uber drivers make about $21.14 an hour on average, according to GridWise. At $21.14 an hour, you would gross roughly $3,674 per month, if you drove 40 hours at that rate per week.
Anything below 4.5 stars isn't ideal. If you check your rating and it's lower than you like, the only way to make it better is to take more rides and take heed to the following advice. It may take a while, but that 3.9 can grow to 4.6 in no time.
If you take a $10 ride, giving $1.50 – $2.00 is pretty fair for both parties. My suggestion is to give a dollar or two on short rides (under $10) and $5 on longer rides (over $10). If you're using a Lyft promo code and taking a discounted ride, then make sure to definitely tip.
