In Australia, tipping the chauffeur is not expected — it's a genuinely appreciated gesture for exceptional service, but never required. Unlike some countries, gratuities aren't built into the culture here, and our chauffeurs never expect one.
A common question with a simple answer — here's the etiquette.
The short answer
No, you don't have to tip. Australia doesn't have a strong tipping culture, and luxury car hire is no exception. The service you receive is part of the booking, not something to be topped up. If your chauffeur went above and beyond and you'd like to show appreciation, a tip is welcome — but it's entirely your choice.
How to show appreciation
If you'd rather not tip, the kindest thing you can do is ask for your chauffeur by name when you book again, and leave an honest review mentioning them — it genuinely means a lot to the team. So many of our reviews name the driver.
What's included
Everything that makes the day effortless is already part of the service — a professional, immaculately presented chauffeur, coordinated timing, and care for you and the occasion. See what's included.
