Though tipping can be a complex concept depending on which state you're in, a baseline tip of 15-20% is recommended, depending on the experience you have. If you don't have a bill to calculate that with, assume about $5-10 for each task with truly extraordinary services getting $25-40.

Tipping a hotel concierge or doorman for hailing a taxi is a common courtesy in 2026, particularly in North America. The standard tip for this service is $2 to $5 per cab, depending on the difficulty of the task (e.g., if it’s raining or peak hour) and the level of service provided. If the concierge also helps you load heavy luggage into the vehicle, a tip on the higher end ($5) is appropriate. In luxury 5-star hotels, guests often tip more generously to maintain a high level of personalized service throughout their stay. In countries where tipping is less common, such as Japan or parts of Western Europe, a verbal "thank you" is usually sufficient, though a small gratuity of €2 to €5 in Europe is never viewed as offensive for excellent service. If the concierge goes beyond just hailing a cab—such as arranging a private driver or providing detailed directions—the tip should be increased to reflect the extra effort, often ranging from $10 to $20 for more complex arrangements.
