2018-02-02
so I saw that group of finally let YouTube Drive is like as of June last year yeah they did but did you know there's a limit on how much you can tip no way yeah it's crazy it was a lot of the drivers don't even know all right well let's take a ride I want to find out more about okay that's good so what's the deal you can only tip over drivers a certain amount yeah within the app you can only tip to a certain amount either 200% of the cost of the ride or $100 Wow so 100 is the absolute maximum right here right so what if you want to give a driver say cash for example you can definitely give cash that's fine but a lot of people don't carry cash anymore so what does ovah said the reason is behind this limit so uber says they want to avoid typos mistakes or fat fingers so you know when you type in $10 but my mistake maybe you put a hundred then the passenger won't have to go through the hassle of getting that money back and so competitors like lyft do they also have this limit on tips yes lyft also has a limit and this is actually a little lower it's 200% like uber but then $50 limit and what a drive is saying about this so it seems a lot of drivers don't know about the limit from all the drivers that I've talked to have told me that they have never heard of a limit and so if they come against the limit they're really surprised so Jacob have you heard about this uber tipping limit before what do you think about it $100 tips is since we're before I Drive already of course I want to get more what is the biggest tip that you've ever had papĂ­ about 20 dollars yeah I never go 200 before so I wrote a big story about this all about the tipping limit and how the app works so you should read it
