No. Uber is a cashless system and the drivers might not carry change, so they will not be able to give you change.

Some drivers may accept cash, but not all will. Drivers are also advised against accepting cash tips, so your best bet is to tip in-app.

Question

If requesting a pick up at a hospital do I need to know an exact address or is the hospital name and city sufficient??

Staff Answer

The GPS mapping system in the Uber app will grab the hospital's exact location when you enter the name and city, so that's what the Uber driver will use. If your driver is unfamiliar with an area, you may need to text them with any additional directions (I'm actually at the Maternity Wing instead of the ER) if you aren't at the designated location.

Question

Do I have to tip the driver?

Community Answer

Tipping is not required, but always encouraged. If you believe you had a successful ride (went from Point A to B without issues, driver's positive attitude, on time etc), a tip should be included, like other tipping situations such as restaurants or food deliveries. There are also some drivers who use tipping in factors toward rider ratings.
