everytime i get a taxi i tip the driver, i dont know if everyone does it but i always round the fare off to the nearest £2. so if its £4.70 i'd give £6. or if its £8.60 i'd give £10. do any drivers on here get decent tips? whats the biggest tip you've had ?

The best one's are those who give you the correct fare then whisper "and here's 20p for you" :lol:

The worst are the old ladies who try to give me a tip of £2 for a £4 fare, i have to spend 5mins telling them that i'l take 50p and no more! bless em :mrgreen:

So if it's £5.90 then you give £6? :-k

I always give big tips as well, trouble is I haven't gotten a cab for years :?
