• General Tipping Rules - In general, whether you are getting a ride to the mall, to the airport, or to your friend’s house, you should try to tip 15% of the total fare. If you experienced a pleasant taxi ride, then be sure to show your appreciation when you arrive at your destination.
• Extra Service - Your taxi driver is not required to help you with shopping bags or luggage. Your driver will often help you with your bags simply as a friendly gesture and to help you move smoothly across town.  In addition, be sure to show that you appreciate the fact that your driver wants to make your trip as fun as possible with friendly conversation or, if you like, respects your need for silence. You are not required to tip better when you receive better service, but it will make your taxi-riding experience more pleasant.
• Tip with Fare - When you tip a taxi driver, the tip should be included with the fare. If you are paying cash, then include extra money. When you need change, ask for money back, subtracting the amount of the tip. If you are paying by credit card, then the system will ask how much tip you would like to leave on the card.
