Uber has announced that it has added a tipping functionality to its app, which allows riders to show their appreciation for their drivers – or the delivery men and women for UberEATs.<\/p>\n
The option to tip from a selected range will be presented at the end of any trip of delivery, the group said.<\/p>\n
Over the past year, Uber has introduced a number of new features in the Uber application to simplify and improve the experience for driver-partners in South Africa.<\/p>\n
Some of the changes that have been introduced include paid for wait time, notifications of long trips, ratings protection, and an in-app chat function.<\/p>\n
All tips go directly to the driver or courier, and Uber receives no service fees, it said.<\/p>\n
At the end of each trip, Uber and UberEATs users will be given the option of various values of tipping, or a customisable amount to their driver-partner or courier.<\/p>\n
The tipping feature is opt-in from drivers, so the option may not be available on some trips or deliveries, depending on whether the driver or courier has opted to accept tips.<\/p>\n
