Tips
for Visitors
Tipping
Tipping is optional, although cabbies and rickshaw drivers
seem to expect tips from foreign tourists. Make sure the
driver turns down the meter after you get in. If he refuses
to do so (cabbies and rickshaw drivers may refuse to do
so late at night or early in the morning or if you want
to travel a short distance), hail another cab or rickshaw.
If nothing else, ensure that you fix a price before you
get in. It is generally expected at hotels and restaurants.
Ten per cent of the bill or around Rs. 5 for other services
is in order.
One of the difficulties that the travelers face while
traveling is the tipping. They don’t know how much
they should give as tip? Although tipping is not essential
but becomes important when you need timely and efficient
services at all times of the tour. Different countries
in the world have different tipping standards.
Tips between 15 to 20% are standard in US (excluding
service tax in the restaurants and bars). In Denmark
tipping is not at all expected in restaurants. Most
of the European countries include service charges in
their bills but you are expected to tip a little extra.
However, the customary tipping in India is 10%.
