Taxi or Car Service: 15-20%However, the experts at the Emily Post Institute say a tip of anywhere from 15 to 20 percent of the total fare (and a dollar for every bag they help you carry) is necessary no matter what kind of driving service you use.
What is the etiquette for tipping drivers?
A 15% tip is certainly expected at the bare minimum, with 20% to 25% being the norm and 30% gratuity for exceptional service. Of course, you can always leave more if your driver delivers a stellar experience.

Where is tipping considered rude?
Japan. Unlike Spain, Japan is a country where you should not tip at all; it's actually offensive. In the majority of Japanese restaurants a bill is not brought to the table. Instead, payment is accepted at the bar, so even trying to leave a tip for the waiter can be tricky.
Who should you not tip?
As a blanket rule, you don't need to tip anyone who earns a salary or performs a trade. That means you don't have to tip doctors, lawyers, teachers, plumbers or cable technicians. “Not only would it not be expected, it would be highly unorthodox and very awkward,” says Farley.
