I hope this is the right thread

I have NEVER EVER stepped foot in any type of UBER or LYFT type vehicle. Not that I had anything against them, I just do not need rides anywhere very often. Those seldom times that I do, I'm at another work location and have the admin arrange a ride to the airport for me and they have always called me a cab. For work, I don't really care, I just want to get from Point A to B and the company is paying.

However, I am going on vacation with the kids, we need to get to IAD; the local bus that used to cost me a $1 one way is no longer in existence.

So Chase sent me a code for a $30 credit on my 1st ride if I use the Chase card which I will of course.

Typically a cab will run me ~$30 one way to the airport. Probably a tad over that with two kids and extra bags.

My questions are:

1. Is there a way to get an estimate as to what this Uber ride will cost me so that I can compare prices vs the local cab?

2. I take it my Chase code is really a credit by Chase on my Uber charge?

3. if #2 is correct, can I still use a sign up code that I received in Valu Pak for my first ride is free up to $20?

4. Tipping: I scanned this thread, I sure did not read each and every post and the why do you drive for Uber is of no interest to me right now: one reason I want to use Uber (or Lyft - which doesn't seem like it will suit my no tipping preference) is that I do NOT want to tip on a normal run of the mill trip. I hate tipping in any environment so any time I have the opportunity to avoid tipping I will; hence I'll try Uber. That said and done, I don't find it totally clear that the driver will have his hand out? will give me a crappy rating (I know, I saw some of you have good ratings even without tipping) for a lack of tip.

5. Can Ubers pick you up at the airport? i.e. when I return to IAD?
