Tips & Tipping

Argentina

Tipping summary

Tipping 10% in restaurants is customary when service is good. Round up taxis and tip guides and hotel staff modestly.

Cards vs. Cash

Cards are accepted in cities, but cash can be important due to exchange-rate realities and small-business preferences. Carry pesos in small denominations.
