Tipping in Uruguay
Customary: 10%. 10% is normal. Cubierto on the bill is a cover charge, not a tip.
At restaurants
What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill
Worked example
On a UYU2,000.00 bill, 10% is UYU200.00, so you would hand over UYU2,200.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about UYU500.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected on guided tours. Free walking tours in Montevideo run on tips.
The money
Uruguay uses the Uruguayan Peso (UYU). Today 1 GBP is 54.4673 UYU.
