Your riders tip.

You never ask.

By the time the app asks, they're already out of the car. Curbtip puts a tag right where they're looking — dash and headrest. They tap, they pay, you keep every cent.

What drivers already say about tip signs

“My tips before the signs? about 30-40 a week. My tips after the signs jumped 8x.”uberpeople.net · Tip Signs“My sign is worth at least $100, to sometimes more than $200 per week, while driving only part-time. One complaint out of over 14,000 trips.”uberpeople.net · Tip signs, I did a 180“Ok guys, so over the past 2 years I've been against tip signs... Well... I was wrong!

Two tags, one tap, nothing for your rider to install.

01

We mail you two tags

One for the dash, one for the passenger headrest. Each says TAP TO TIP. No wiring, no battery, no pairing.

02

A rider holds their phone near one

Your photo and first name confirm it's you — so they know they're tipping the right driver. Three amounts, one Apple Pay button. No app, no account, no email.

03

The money shows up

You see it in your dashboard the second it lands. Weekly to your bank automatically, or instantly if you don't want to wait.

This is the entire thing your rider does.

Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or any card. No app for them, no account, no email, no setup for you. They hold a phone near a tag and a page opens — that's the product.

Pay $5.99

You keep 100%. Every time.

A $5.00 tip is $5.00 in your account. The rider covers card processing on top — it never comes out of what you earn, and there is nothing for you to pay, ever.

Competing tip-jar products take 8.5–8.9% plus 30¢ out of the tip. Hotel platforms bill the property $100 a month. Here is every number, in dollars.

$5.00$5.99$5.00
$10.00$11.50$10.00
$20.00$23.00$20.00

A $20.00 tip costs the rider $3.00. The cap means a generous rider is never punished for being generous.

The parts you're actually worried about.

Doesn't this make me look like I'm begging?

A tag isn't a request. It doesn't talk, it doesn't light up, and it says nothing unless someone chooses to hold a phone near it — a rider who isn't interested never sees a screen. What's stuck to your dash is the size of a coin. One driver logged a single complaint across more than 14,000 trips.

Will it hurt my rating?

We've found no evidence it does, and we won't pretend to have a study that doesn't exist. What we can tell you: nothing prompts your rider, nothing pops up, and nothing appears on their phone unless they reach out and tap it. If a tag ever feels like a liability, it comes off in five seconds.

Why not just tape up a Venmo QR code?

You can, and plenty of drivers do. The difference is a QR needs a camera, good light, and a rider willing to type your username. A tag needs a phone held near it. You also get a real payout ledger, per-tag numbers so you can tell which placement works, and no stranger seeing your personal Venmo handle.

What's the catch on 'free'?

There isn't a subtle one. We make money on the service fee the rider pays on top of your tip — that's it. No subscription, no hardware charge, no cut of your tip, no minimum. If nobody ever taps your tags, you've paid us nothing and we've lost money on your kit.

Do I need another app?

No. You sign up on your phone's browser and check earnings there. Your riders don't install anything either — the tag opens a web page.

Two tags. No cost. Off in five seconds.

If nobody ever taps them, you've paid us nothing and we've lost money on your kit. That's the deal.
