how should we tip limo driver?

[redsoxfaninme]

We are renting a limo to take us to and from Disney World The cost is 200.00 We do have a 15 min grocery store stop.
How much should we tip the driver on each trip? There are 5 of us.

Thanks!!

Well, my suggestion is to tip each leg separately, in the event that you are assigned a different driver on the return trip. So, if your total cost is $200, divide in half and then figure 15-20% ($15-$20 each way). We tend to tip a little more on our first leg, as we too take advantage to the grocery stop and like to give the driver a little more because of that. You may also decide to increase your tip if the driver has excessive luggage to handle, or if you feel you receive extraordinary service.

Oh, I forgot to divide it in half..........I had $20.00 in each of the Towncar envelopes! Our towncar is $95.00 RT, so 20% of half is only $10.00.

Just a suggestion--$200 rt for a towncar seems high. We got a rt towncar from Tiffiany Towncar for $75. I think you can do much better on the price if you shop around. Go to the transportation board for suggestions.

we are not renting a town car we are renting a limo.
I think 200.00 is not bad for a limo, but I have never rented a limo before. We booked with AAA so I hope we got a good deal .

Please check your statement from the Limo company - read carefully, my charges INCLUDED gratutity!! I called the company and asked about this, and she did confirm that it did, and I asked if I was expected to tip further - dont most people? And she of course stated that I could absoluteley give more ...

well when I signed off I looked and said "oh good your tip is included, thank you so much," and I gave another $5
