would you tip him and if so how much would you tip?

I'm soon going to be going from Manchester to Derby and back again in a taxi and have been told the driver taking me will wait around and then bring me home as there would be no point for him to drive to Derby, back to Manchester then back to Derby and back to Manchester so he would just 'hang around'

Thing is I'm going to a show and it runs for two hours then afterwards there is a meet and greet so that will probably add another hour or so onto it, so say three and a half hours.

Been quoted £280 for the return trip, how much would you tip him for waiting around for three and a half hours? I generally just tell them to keep the change so have no idea!

I would give him £300.

Although I would have considered going by train...

I'd give £300 and say keep the change.

I would probably give him £350, three hours is a long time to hang about.

If they know the pick up time is 3.5 hours after drop off, surely they’ve quoted accordingly including waiting time?

I’d round it up to £300 though.

I'd probably tip roughly 10% so £30?
