HELP! Leaving tomorrow... Have a question on tipping our driver

[goin2dzny]

How much should we tip our driver per leg of the trip?

He will transport our group 3 times... Do we tip per person? Per bag?

HELP!!!

When we cruised in November we used yourride. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and each leg of the trip Rabbit suggested we tip around 10 dollars. I had to ask him since we used our AMEX to pay for the transportation (might as well get Delta Miles for the trip right?) and since we didnt pay each leg he suggested (after I prodded and plead with him) the 10 dollars. We tipped more than that..usually 15 because the service was so good but I would think that 7-10 per leg would be sufficient!!! We had 7 stops total...MCO to Poly, AKL to Poly on morning of cruise after we spent the morning at AK, Poly to Port, Port to Days Inn for inlaws room, days inn to POR, Seperate car from POR to Days inn again for the inlaws, and then POR to MCO for the 5 of us.

Have a great time!

I'm not sure which company you are using, but this is what tiffany towncar told me. They gave me my price for 7 people in a limo to the port. He told me a $20 tip would be appropriate when I asked. I saw that someone posted that with some places the tips were already included. Before I changed our transportation to just one way, I asked about tipping all at once or each time. Last time we used them, we tipped the entire amount first and then had another driver for the return trip. Of course we tipped him as well. This time when I asked, he told me to split if you are taking more than one way.

I'm not sure if I was able to answer your question or not. Have a great time.

We have DCL transfers. Are we supposed to tip too?

We used Yourride and had the limo, our trip was four legs, MCO to WDW, WDW to port, port to WDW and WDW to MCO. We tipped $25 each leg if I recall...It might have been $20 for the MCO to WDW, and WDW to MCO legs and $30 each way back and forth to the port. EIther way it worked out to be about $100. There were three of us and 6 bags.

It wouldn't hurt to slip the driver a few bucks, especially if they help with luggage.

when using cruise line transfers I try to give a dollar per bag that the person had to put on and take off the bus.
