Do you tip taxi drivers?
« on: June 04, 2012, 03:06:36 pm »
I am going to be taking taxi cabs for the next couple of days, do you tip taxi drivers?
If you do, how much do give? a percentage or just a couple of bucks?
 
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

I only ever ridden in a cab a couple times, but I did give a tip each time. :)

It depends on the service I get.  The better the service the better the tip.

It's generally appropriate to tip the taxi driver about 15%, unless he runs you around in circles, or drives you around a clearly indirect route.  Tips for drivers in Europe and elsewhere around the planet can be less than 15%.

I tip the taxi drivers along the same percentage as I tip everyone else: 15%.
