What percentage of the fare should taxi drivers receive as a tip?

Taxi drivers typically receive tips that range from 15% to 20% of the fare. This percentage reflects common industry standards and acknowledges the service provided by the driver, including factors such as driving skills, punctuality, and customer service. An appreciation for their efforts often leads passengers to tip within this range, enhancing the overall income of the driver.

Tipping below 15% might not sufficiently recognize the service provided, while tipping above 20% is usually reserved for exceptional service or longer trips. The range of 15% to 20% is widely accepted in most urban areas, aligning with social norms regarding tipping for personal services.
