Should I tip my driver?

Tipping your auto transport driver is not required, but it's a gesture of appreciation for good service. Here's what you should know about tipping in the auto transport industry.

Is Tipping Expected?

Tipping is not mandatory in the auto transport industry. Drivers are paid for their services, and tipping is entirely optional based on your satisfaction with the service.

When to Tip

If your driver provides exceptional service, handles your vehicle with care, communicates well, and delivers on time, a tip is a nice way to show appreciation.

How Much to Tip

If you choose to tip, $20-$50 is typical for standard service. For exceptional service or challenging circumstances, you may choose to tip more.

Other Ways to Show Appreciation

Beyond tipping, leaving a positive review or referral can be valuable to drivers and transport companies.
