We all have theories or stereotypes about who tips best and which workers earn the most, but honest-to-goodness tipping facts are rare. The economists analyzed location, rating, ride quality, and characteristics of the driver and rider, but couldn’t track outside variables like cash tips or personal interactions. Women tip 14.3 percent of the time. ADIt seems plausible, given complaints of harassment, that women on Uber tip less because they’re getting a worse experience in the vehicle. Women also tip other women more, but they don’t significantly change their tips based on the driver’s age.
