Like any other business, tipping your Uber or Lyft driver is a common courtesy rather than an obligation. Tips of anything between 10% to 20% based on how well the drive was and the length of the trip, and overall ride cost.

Lyft has offered in-app tipping for more than five years, but limits gratuities to $50 or 200 percent of the cost of the ride, whichever is lower. Like Uber, it says it aims to protect riders from fat-finger typos. But even with that $50 limit, many drivers say they make better tips with Lyft than with Uber.
Kenyon said that based on what drivers were saying on the RideGuru forums, drivers were stating that 30 to 40 percent of riders on Lyft were tipping, while Uber hovered around 10 to 20 percent.
If the driver has picked you up from point A and taken you to point B in a timely and professional manner, and still you don't tip. That's fine, like I say, it's entirely up to you. The driver will be paid the total fare less commission in accordance with the agreement he has with the ride sharing platform.
You have the right to accept or decline a ride request at any time. Declined requests still count toward your total ride requests for your acceptance rate. If a passenger cancels a ride request, your acceptance rate won't change.
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.
We've done 6 bags, 4 large with a couple small carry on sizes, everyone held their backpacks in their laps. But not 8. Thing is, not too many XL are minivans. Most we get are SUVs and not all of them can hold that much without folding down 3rd row and you'll need the 3rd row for people.
If you have a lot of luggage or multiple large suitcases that you're unsure will fit in a standard Lyft, the safest option is to order a Lyft XL or Lyft Lux XL. This will save you the trouble of ordering another vehicle if the standard isn't big enough.
Like Uber, Lyft also doesn't allow you to request multiple vehicles at the same time. This will only work if you only need 2 vehicles in total. Lyft XL and Lux Black XL can transport up to 5 riders per vehicle.
As long as you are treating the vehicle with respect, there's nothing wrong with taking a snack break in an Uber or Lyft. Everyone has had that day where there is simply no other time to eat except for when you're in the car; sometimes you don't have a choice.
