FOR THE MOMENT YOU NEED IT

Clear answers.
Local context.

From the airport ride to your last restaurant bill, find out what’s expected, how much to give, and how to give it.

Find your situation

Check the amount and timing for the service you are using. Local customs and included service charges can change the answer.

Check before you pay

Look for gratuity in your bill or booking. Amounts are practical guidelines, not fixed fees for every business.
