Car service & tips

I am wondering about the tips for the town car service. Do you pay the tip all at once when you pay? Or do you split it up?

I may have made a small mistake. When we were dropped off at our hotel, I paid for our roundtrip service, got our receipt that shows we've all ready paid and when they will return to pick us up. When I paid, I gave a tip based on the roundtrip service. Do I tip again? Did I mess up and should have split it? HELP what's the proper etiquette?

I would have tipped twice, because you probably will get 2 different drivers. But don't worry too much about it. Just tip again if you can.

If you tipped the full amount of the tip on arrival at the resort and you get a different driver don't tip him. There are some companies who use the drivers out and back which means you can tip up front. If you can find out if you are getting another driver on your return cut the tip in half.

If you have a different driver on the WDW-MCO trip, I would not stiff him. Don't punish him because the first driver was over tipped. If you have the same driver, just remind him that you already tipped him based on the round trip fare.

Just remember for the next time, tip 10% (for good service) of the total price on each leg of the trip.

Yes, I will have the same driver. I gave a 20% tip off the total roundtrip cost of trip... I wish I hadn't done that now.

thanks for the replies
