Expert Etiquette
Tipping • Restaurants
"Leave a 5% to 10% tip if the service was exceptional. Rounding up is the most common practice."
Dining • Asking for the Bill
"Catch the waiter's eye and make a subtle writing gesture in the air or say "A conta, por favor"."
Driving • Highway Tolls (Via Verde)
"Use the "Via Verde" lane ONLY if your rental car has the electronic device."
