At least 15%. OK: 8 bucks. Smarmie Doofus Oct 2013 #1

When I drive a cab it usually worked out to 25%. But those were usually short trips. rug Oct 2013 #2

keeps my change at the toll booth zip, nada, nothing. I hate that. So remember if you're drunk and puke you owe them a twenty at least, but I wouldn't expect to have to clean it up because after all you did give the driver a twenty. Hope that helps, have fun!
