Driver gratuity for towncar service?

[treloarf]

When do you pay for transportation if using a limo service, when you're picked up at the airport or after? Also, I assume they take credit cards? When is the normal tip? Cartier is charging us $70 roundtrip to OKW & wasn't quite sure what the norm is for gratuity. Thanks.

I would give around $15-20.

We were charged $45 yesterday for a one way trip from WDW to airport and I tipped $10.

Some towncar services accept credit cards and some do not. You should check before you leave to find out if Cartier does or not.

Find out when you book (round trip is cheaper than two one ways) if the gratuity is included (some do, some don't). I charge the fare and pay cash for the tip. Generally tip 20%, sometimes 25% if we are loaded with luggage. We pay half each way. You can charge the whole tip with the fare if you choose.

Cartier does not include the tip in the fare and does accept credit cards. We love these folks. We use them every trip to Orlando. Say hi for us. They are prompt and reserving over the internet is super easy.

Have a great trip.
