So you are about to enjoy a wonderful Mexican getaway. As you get your passport and your sombrero ready for your visit south of the border there are a few things that you need to know. You see depending on where you are, you need to understand the customs of that country. This not only shows respect to the country itself but also respect to people. As you are dropped off by the rental car company driver you may be wondering what you should do next.

You may be asking yourself, “Do I Tip a Rental Car Company Driver Who Picks Me Up?” That is an excellent question that needs to be addressed if you are in Mexico. Realistically, you do not have to tip the driver and you are under no obligation to do so. However, do not let this stop you from giving in any way.

The country of Mexico has many poor parts. The employment rate and pay is nowhere near as generous as the United States or some other modernized countries. If you were to tip at least $1 to $3 USD it is more than generous and the person that you are tipping will be very grateful. A few dollars can go a long way in Mexico for a blue-collar worker and their families.

So have fun in Mexico with your car rental and try to tip if you can. You will make the workers of Mexico a lot happier as well as do them a favor in the process. Remember the famous words “you reap what you sow”.
