How to Get More Tips While Rideshare Driving

How can I get more tips? is one question we frequently receive on the RSG blog and Facebook page. While there’s no magical formula to get more tips, there are ways to improve your chances of getting tips. Today, senior RSG contributor Jay Cradeur shares his suggestions for getting more tips while rideshare driving.

We’re In it Together: Providing an Excellent Driving Experience

Today, we have a guest post from Rick S. of Baltimore, MD. Rick has a great attitude toward driving, and he shares his thoughts on making driving a pleasant experience for everyone, including other drivers.

In the article below, Rick shares why rideshare driving is more than just one driver’s individual experience – it’s the sum of all drivers’ experiences. If you’re wondering why you received a bad rating or no tip from a passenger, Rick reminds us that other drivers also play a part in making ridesharing positive for passengers. Rick explains why multiple positive interactions for riders is important, and how providing the best experience you can makes it better for all drivers.

Do you have a unique ridesharing perspective you’d like to share with us? Reach out and pitch me! You may see it featured here – and you’ll also receive a $50 Amazon gift card if we publish your article.
