Does Uber give 100% of tips?

**Does Uber give 100% of tips?**

Uber has made significant changes to its tipping policy in recent years, aiming to provide fair compensation for its drivers. Now, when a rider leaves a tip for their Uber driver, the full amount goes directly to the driver. Unlike in the past, Uber does not take a percentage or any portion of the tip. This means that if a rider tips $5, the driver receives the full $5. This policy is part of Uber’s ongoing efforts to improve driver earnings and satisfaction, as well as to provide a more transparent and equitable experience for both drivers and riders.
