Car Service Question

[stitchlover]

We are considering using a car service next week to take us to the airport. It is going to be $70...what should you tip the driver? I believe the driver is also the owner of the car/company.

$70 one way?

I base the tip usually on amount of luggage and helpfulness. If we have 4 or 5 suitcases and the driver loads and unloads them all, I'll tip 20%, if it's just me and my niece with 2 suitcases, it'd be $10. I've tipped more and less, depends on the driver. I've had owners drive me and I tip them the same that I would any other driver.

$70 one way?

Yeah, $70 one way. We leave about 50 miles from the airport. It would be the three of us and three suitcases. So we would be good with $15-$20 tip.

Thanks!
