The first few weeks I started working in Florida, I learned about the tipping culture because, in Kenya, we don’t have such a culture.\u00a0 I didn’t know how much I should tip. Since the United States has a generous tipping culture, many people want to know the limit to tipping.\u00a0 For instance, how much do you tip for free rides in Florida?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there is a general amount you must pay for your free ride in the Sunshine State.\u00a0 In addition, there is no rate for a free ride if you are heading to the beach.<\/p>\n

I recommend that you tip your driver the same way you tip any other service provider, according to what you think their service is worth. People pay their drivers generously on tips, which makes Florida a great place to live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The standard tip in Florida is 15%, but if you are dissatisfied with the service, nothing stops you from giving less or nothing.\u00a0 However, you can generously drop 20% if you appreciate the service.<\/p>\n

How much do you tip for free rides in Florida?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1.50 $.<\/p>\n

You could offer tips between $1.50 and $2.00 if you are given a $10 ride. For short rides of $10 and below, I suggest you give 1$ or 2$.<\/p>\n

\"How
How Much Do You Tip for Free Rides in Florida?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You cannot know how much your tip to shuttle drivers and other service providers will be. This is why I came up with these tips to help you figure it out.<\/p>\n

Whenever you are taking a taxi to, a hotel or the airport, make sure you know how much the tip for the service is. Tipping etiquette changes from one place to the other, but a general rule applies to every ideal tipping situation.<\/p>\n

Never let tipping stress you out during your holiday trip. I will tell you \u00a0things you should know about tipping shuttle drivers and other people that provide other kinds of services you will meet on the course of your journey.<\/p>\n

Airport Shuttle Driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a free ride! In addition, you probably chose a lot away from the terminal to save money on parking. Should you tip the airport shuttle driver that takes you from your car to the airport terminal?<\/p>\n

Tipping an airport parking shuttle driver does not have any standards, but it is always worth offering some tips to the shuttle drivers. They spend long hours on the job and most times drive frustrated travelers. No matter the season or circumstance, they always help you get to where you want to go.<\/p>\n

A dollar per bag is the acceptable tipping standard for these drivers. If the luggage is many, you can give a dollar per person in the group you are traveling with.<\/p>\n

Taxi Driver<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A tip that taxi driver who drove you to your hotel or around the city. Their job is strenuous so they deserve the tips. They take you through the shortest routes while making your journey pleasurable.<\/p>\n

Give the driver between 15% and 20% of his charge as a tip when he drives you safely and promptly to your destination. You can give him more if you so much enjoyed the journey.<\/p>\n

Hotel Shuttle Driver<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most hotels send their drivers to the airport to bring their guests for free. When this service is rendered to you, you choose the free shuttle instead of hiring a taxi or an Uber, so tipping the driver is necessary.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding, the service is a courtesy, and courtesy can be both ways. However, how do you estimate the right tip for the driver? A dollar per bag or person is good.<\/p>\n

While you tip your drivers, in Florida<\/a>, you have the opportunity of tipping other people who provide services for you.\u00a0 To make your stay in the Sunshine State great, I have listed other people you can tip.<\/p>\n

Hotel Porter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the hotel porter helps you carry your luggage to your room, tip him. They work for tips, carrying heavy bags around throughout the day.<\/p>\n

They safely carry your luggage to your room with a smile, so they are worth tipping. A dollar or two per bag can do. You can give more if the bag is very heavy.<\/p>\n

Tour Guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The service of your tour guide is at a cost already. You may have booked a tour through a tourist company that provides an all-inclusive experience ranging from travel, tour guide, entry, and meals.<\/p>\n

Although you have paid the company the bill, tipping the tour guides at the end of the tour is necessary.<\/p>\n

If the tour was for many days, think of tipping them a dollar per day for each person. In case your driver became your guide for the day, a dollar tip per person is okay.<\/p>\n

If your driver is different from your tour guide for several days of traveling tour, between $5 and $10 per person will be nice. Note that guides are not tipped at free exhibits or national parks.<\/p>\n

Doorman<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You will always meet the door attendant at the door as you enter or exit the hotel, opening and closing the door. Sometimes, they help you stop by a taxi or direct you the right way if you are going for dinner or shopping.<\/p>\n

During a rainy day, a helpful door attendant may stand with you as you wait for a taxi, covering you with an umbrella.<\/p>\n

For his gesture, he deserves a few dollars tip from you. If he keeps you company saving you from the rain, he deserves a five-dollar tip.<\/p>\n

In Florida, tipping is 15% without alcohol and 20% with alcohol. However, I have seen people give generously without minding these percentages.<\/p>\n

Finally, set some money aside for trips anytime you are traveling. It is better to tip shuttle drivers and other people who assisted you cheerfully than to hold back a deserved and expected tip.<\/p>\n
