The amount depends on the type of service. To find out approximately how much you should tip, consult the following list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The average tip in a restaurant or bar is 10%. If you were very satisfied, you can give a little more.<\/li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re out and about with your car and you park it, security guards or car park wardens sometimes ask you whether they should look after your vehicle while you&#8217;re away. If you accept the offer, you will need to set aside at least 2 rand, depending on how long you will be away.<\/li>\n<li>At South African service stations, you&#8217;ll find other traditional services, from window cleaning to checking tyre pressure, coolant and oil levels, and refuelling. Reward this service with around 2 rand.<\/li>\n<li>At South African airports, you can use the services of a baggage handler. The usual tip is 5 rand per bag.<\/li>\n<li>Street newspaper vendors have a long tradition in South Africa. When you buy a newspaper, give the seller a few extra centimes or simply round up the price.<\/li>\n<li>There are other opportunities to call on more or less important services. It could be a taxi ride, a haircut, a spa treatment or help carrying your shopping. In such cases, it is customary to reward the service rendered with a small sum of money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[77],"class_list":["post-18987","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry","category-static-page","countries-south_africa-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/18987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faqs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
