Rider app help

Tip your driver

Add a tip in the app for up to 30 days after the ride, or hand cash to the driver; either way the tip goes 100 percent to the driver.

Do this when you want to thank the driver. A tip is never required.

Before you start. The ride must be completed and paid. A tip in the app goes to the payment method you used for the ride. A cash tip is the only cash a driver may accept.

Steps

  1. Open the ride under Trips, or use the prompt shown right after the ride.
  2. Tap Add tip.
  3. Choose an amount, or tap Other and type one in GYD.
  4. Tap Confirm.

What happens next

The tip is charged to the same method as the fare and appears on a separate line of your receipt. The whole tip is passed to the driver on the driver's statement. GuyWay takes nothing from it.

You can add a tip up to 30 days after the ride. After that the option disappears from the ride.

Note A cash tip handed to the driver does not appear on your receipt or in GuyWay's records. That is expected.
