Poppie55 Posted November 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Can anyone tell me what the tipping policy is in the United Kingdom for car service from Heathrow to Southampton when using car service where tipping is not included in price. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted November 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2022 This is where I get confused. I thought UK was a non tipping culture. Or does this only apply to restaurants? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've personally seen and from what I've read tipping in the UK is more common than many would suggest, particularly and somewhat surprisingly in restaurants, though apparently not in pubs.

We tipped because we thought the service was good but come to think of it I think it was an all in price we got Some places in Southampton did not add the service charge/tip in their prices some did but still had the tip jar on the counter it was very confusing LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is a tipping culture, not as wide as the US but I would tip taxi drivers and restaurant staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaCroisiereS'amuse Posted November 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 24, 2022 10% of fare or bill is pretty standard in the UK - many restaurants add service automatically; although it will be itemised on the bill, so check first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
