Grab Driver Tip in Vietnam: How Much?
Okay, so tipping Grab drivers in Vietnam… honestly, it confused me at first. I’ll break it down.
Grab Driver Tip in Vietnam
- Tip amount: 10,000 VND – 50,000 VND.
- Tipping method: Cash after arrival.
- Hotel staff tips: Appreciated.
See, when I was in Hanoi last July (think it was July 12th?), I took a Grab from my hotel to Hoan Kiem Lake. Fare was like 80,000 VND.
I wasn’t sure if I should tip! Then I remembered reading online 10-20k VND was ok. I gave the driver 100,000 and just told him to keep the change. He seemed genuinely happy, which was nice. Didn’t break the bank for me (less than 1 USD tip), and it felt like a good gesture. And about tipping in general… remember our awesome hotel in Hoi An? We left a small tip for the cleaning staff, it felt right, y’know? Especially since they did a great job, always spotless!
