The same rule applies: 15 to 20% of the 4-hour fare. Tip toward 20% if the driver waited through a long reception, handled extra stops or helped with luggage.
Tipping tips
- Collect the tip from the group before the night starts so nobody forgets at 1 a.m.
- Cash goes straight to the driver. Ask whether card tips are possible when you book.
- If gratuity is included, an extra tip is welcome but not expected.
