How much do you tip a cab driver?

There is no set guideline for the amount to give a cab driver as a tip. The average tip in the United States is 15 percent of the fare; however, this figure varies according to the region.

Some consumers also tip an extra $1 to $2 if the cab driver assists with bags. A cab driver's tip can also depend on the service that the customer received. If a cab driver is rude, for example, the customer may be inclined to give a smaller tip. On the other hand, if a cab driver goes above and beyond the call of duty by parking in a dry area to keep the customer out of the rain, for instance, the customer would be more likely to give the driver a larger tip.
