TL;DR

For taxis and inDrive rides in Sharm El Sheikh, a tip of EGP 50–100 on top of the agreed fare is a practical guideline, depending on the distance and vehicle. If a driver tries to raise the fare sharply after the ride, do not accept an unjustified surcharge.

What the community said

A practical driver tip is EGP 50–100 above the ride fare. Adjust it according to the route length and the condition of the car.

Keep a voluntary tip separate from the base fare: EGP 50–100 is a clear benchmark, while any further request for cash should be considered separately rather than treated as automatic.

Treat the agreed inDrive price as the reference fare: one reported case involved a driver trying to charge three times more after the ride. An unjustified fare increase is not a mandatory payment.
