The standard in Europe for tipping your taxi driver runs about ten percent of the cost of the fare. You may want to tip the driver extra if you have particularly heavy or cumbersome luggage.
Pocket Change and Public Restrooms
Throughout Europe, public restrooms are not usually free. There is usually an attendant who cleans the stalls frequently. A small plate will be left at the entrance to the restroom. It’s customary to tip around thirty euro cents. Sometimes it may cost more or less. If there is no sign indicating how much you should tip, there is usually at least one coin already in the plate. Just give a matching amount. In some cases, an attendant will be collecting change at the entrance, or you may have to pay into a coin slot to get into the restroom or stall.
Tipping customs may vary from country to country, but these tipping rules are generally accepted throughout Europe. Do a little research before you go on your trip to find out what specific tipping etiquette applies to the country you are visiting. Make sure to carry around plenty of coins, and use your own good judgment when it comes to tipping in other situations, such as spas or salons. And above all, if you receive good service, make sure it is properly rewarded.
