Do Taxis give Receipts

What do you tip a taxi driver?

Tips for taxi riders differ from state to state and even from town to town. On arrival at your final destination, ask the local people what you should bear in mind when you tip your taxi rider. Good taxi riders have a solid and thorough understanding of the area in which they work.

When you ask for help on where to go in your town, the rider should be able to suggest some of the most famous sights without much ado. They should also be clear about alternative itineraries in the event of a congestion or collision covering the street. Taxi riders cannot help congestion, but they can take the most effective itinerary and take measures to reduce it.

You are welcome to tilt low when your taxi rider is dawdling or walking an unnecessary long way. Give your drivers a few additional bucks if they make records or manage to prevent an incident or roadrun. If a taxi rider cuts your driving hours, he will also reduce your overall fares.

Any taxi rider should volunteer to help with luggage; if your luggage does not, you do not need to tip over. Don't penalize your rider if he is too involved with riding to be able to play lead. More tips if he gives you inside tips, such as where to buy super low priced beverages or the best times to visit a particularly favourite place.

Taxi riders interact with tens of foreigners every single night, and many are used to the whole thing. When your taxi rider is kind and supportive and has nothing against talking, give him a better tip. When he speaks on a mobile while driving, is aggressive towards other riders, ruthlessly rides or shortens you in case of a question, do not tip more than 15 or 20 per cent.

Don't delay getting off before your goal and refrain from paying either fares or tips if the behaviour of the rider or riding justifies this.
