Ohdaisy Posted May 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2004 but can anyone tell me how much is the norm to tip taxi drivers? We will be using one in Tampa and also in Cozumel.

cruisinonmymind Posted May 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I would think it would depend on how far you go.But, most of the time the taxi will charge you a flat fee per person.

fascination 5/10 Posted May 2, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I think it's appropriate to tip 15-20%....

Ohdaisy Posted May 2, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted May 2, 2004 In Tampa we will be going from the airport to our hotel downtown, Radisson Riverwalk (from what I gather about a 20 minute ride?). While is Cozumel we will be going from the pier to the Chankanaab beach. Thanks.

kanda Posted May 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Don't know about the tip, but at Chankanaab, if you're planning on snorkeling, ask for Mario. He will take you to some great spots and only works for tips. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted May 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2004 On Cozumel cab fares are based on point to pont not per person. I'm not sure what the cost is to Chankanaab but it use to be about $10. That is total for everyone riding. If it were just 2 of us riding I would tip $1, if it was 4 riding I would tip $2. When taking a cab on Cozumel it is suggested that you settle on the fare before riding. I'm sure most cabbies are above board but a few people have posted that they were taken advantage of. I have never had any problem with the islands cabies myself.

Cotton Posted May 2, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I'm a good tipper...normally. BUT not for a taxi ride in Cozumel. The guy gets his $10 to take me (alone) to Chankanaab - or downtown San Miguel - and I do not tip.

Cotton Posted May 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Since I drive to the port, I don't know for sure, but I think I've read several posts on here that it's around $28. Somebody may come along and correct me...?

NAVY WIFE Posted May 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Is that $28 for everyone, or is it more for additional people? We have 6 people, so we'll be getting 2 cabs. Thanks!
