Catalina56 Posted October 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi, While waiting on the taxi line at FLL airport, how much do you tip the man who hails you a cab. Many times the cabs are already there. If you have three bags and he puts them in the trunk of the cab instead of the taxi driver; how much would you tip him? Usually the cab driver would do this for you and he would be tipped accordingly at your hotel, etc. Thanks for your help. Catalina56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted October 24, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The taxi drivers at FLL airport do not usually get out of the taxi to load the luggage. All the times we have taken a taxi from there (many), the man who organizes all the taxis loads our luggage. DH always tips him but I don't know how much. I would guess it would be about $5 depending how heavy/how many bags we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASIWISH Posted October 24, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2011 When in doubt, throw them a $5 bill.... it's just easier to cary fives vs fumbling for 3-5 singles... imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candy Posted October 24, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2011 He's called the starter. He decides whether you get a smoky old cab or a nice roomy van. We flash a $5 bill for him after we tip the porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 24, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2011 We also take a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Quite true -- the taxi drivers at the Ft Lauderdale airport do not get out of the taxis. The "starter" loads the suitcases into the taxi and we give him $5.
