Never Understood the Tipping System?
How Much Do You Tip Your Airport Taxi Service Cab?
Tipping your
driver is very similar to tipping any other worker. Appropriate amount, however, do vary depending on the city, circumstances, and how far they drove you, but overall a tip that is 15% of the fare should be enough. However, when your bill is under $10, then, by all means, feel free to give a 10% tip, but no less than $1, and add an extra $1-2 when the driver helps you with your luggage.
Listen for the fare, when you have reached your destination, your driver should tell you how much you need to pay. Calculate the tip as a percentage, or take a quick look at the amount and round it up to the nearest $5 or $10.
Calculate your tip as a percentage of the whole fare. Ten to fifteen percent of the fare should be sufficient. When your bill is under $10, then, by all means, give a 10% tip, but do not tip less than $1. when your bill is above $10, then you should give at least a 15% tip. Any percentage-based tip is an approximate representation of the duration and quality of the service you
receive. So choose your tip percentage which best fits the situation.
Add a couple of dollars when your driver helps you with luggage. This should be about $1 per bag. Add $2 per bag when you have over five bags or more, or when your bags are quite heavy. Remember these are not hard and fast rules, they are more like guidelines you can use when you book an
airport taxi service
.
Give your driver an even bill, even when the amount is close to an even amount, just give the driver an even bill and tell them to keep the change. For example, $17.38 is close to $20, which means you do not have to spend time calculating tip percentages, so long as you give the cab driver a reasonable tip. This method can prove useful when you find yourself in a rush.
