Here is what the Uber Community Guidelines state: “No one other than the requesting rider and the rider's guests are permitted in the vehicle. This means that friends and family of drivers may not ride in their vehicle during a trip.”
Passenger comfort is another primary reason Uber prohibits any additional passengers.
It is against Lyft and Uber TOS to have anyone riding with you.

How much should you tip Uber drivers? Similar to tipping for other services, like getting a massage or going to the nail salon, the rule of thumb is to tip 20%, says Sokolosky. So if your ride costs $30—an average cost for a moderate trip in most cities—then you'll tip $6, for a total of $36.
Unfortunately, you'll have to ride solo even when you don't have customers. Other passengers can not ride with you while driving for Lyft.
The cleaning & damage fee
Your driver receives all of the fee. The cleaning fee is usually between $20 and $150, depending on the mess or damage.
Many women feel more comfortable when taking an Uber with a female driver, and understandably so. However, you cannot request a female Uber driver, nor can you request a driver based on age, race, or ethnicity.

It's okay to have a partner along, as a companion, to help with driving, as long as they have a license and insurance. But the simple thing to remember is that they are not a contractor to DoorDash, you are. So, even when you have a partner along with you as you dash, you are wholly responsible.
I've noted some people are checking in what they think to be a random 5.99 charge from Uber – if you're seeing this it's likely you're subscribed to Uber One, intentionally or unintentionally.
How much will Uber or Lyft charge if I puke in their driver's vehicle? In the event that a rider throws up, or is the cause of "any incident that requires cleaning between the window/door or air vents, major bodily fluid mess," Uber will charge up to $150.

Lyft Family allows you to link accounts with other riders. Your Family members can use a shared payment method to pay for all Lyft rides. You'll also have access to safety features, including the ability to share ride details (driver details and location tracking).
But paying for your date's ride should never be expected, Ethridge says. It's more like picking up dessert after the other person buys dinner. Offering to pay for your date's Uber is not a gendered move so much as one other way to show appreciation.
What is the difference between Uber and UberX, you might wonder? Actually, there is no difference between UberX and Uber – UberX is simply a basic level of service that Uber offers. Uber offers a variety of service level options. They range from cheaper, economy rides to pricier luxury rides.
Can I see how much I was tipped by a specific rider or customer? To protect your customer's privacy, you'll be able to see the tip you receive on the trip receipt but will not see that individual's name or photo.
Whether you give your driver cash or just tip through the app, they receive 100 percent of the tip; Uber, Lyft, Gett and Via don't take a cut. Generally, drivers are just happy to get a tip, Mr. Helling said, and many don't have a preference for cash versus tipping directly in the app.
Nothing happens if you don't tip your Uber driver, If you had left a tip, the driver received more money.
How Long Will Your Driver Wait at Each Stop? Your driver will wait for a maximum of three minutes at each stop. If you're not out within that time frame, the driver can cancel the trip and move on to their next Uber rider.
