How much should I tip my taxi?

Transportation Tipping Cab driver: 15 percent to 20 percent tip of the fare. (Find out ahead of time if your cabbie accepts a credit card. If he or she doesn't, make sure you have enough cash for both fare and tip.)



Tipping etiquette for taxis in 2026 varies significantly by culture. In the United States and Canada, a tip of 15% to 20% of the fare is standard. In the UK and most of Europe, tipping is not mandatory, but "rounding up" to the nearest Euro or Pound is polite; for a long journey or help with bags, 10% is a common gesture. In Australia and New Zealand, tipping is entirely optional and generally only done by rounding up the change. Conversely, in Japan and South Korea, tipping can be seen as confusing or even offensive; the price on the meter is what you pay. In Thailand, it is customary to leave the small change (coins) as a tip, while in China, tipping taxi drivers is virtually non-existent and not expected.
