As a passenger, I sometimes order late-night hour-long rides to a place where it's hard to get rides back. What can I do to make the ride better for the driver?

I usually commute to/from MIA, taking the train to the airport most of the time. Sometimes my flight gets delayed, or they cancel the train, and I have no choice but to get a Lyft or an Uber from MIA to Pompano Beach around midnight - that's about an hour, and it's very hard to get rides back to Miami.

Yes, I've been begrudgingly told by drivers several times that it's an awkward drive.

I tip well and try to make the ride amenable to the driver too, but is there something particular that drivers would like? I'm kinda tempted of buying some pastries or coffee from the airport and offering some to the driver, but I'm open to suggestions.
