How to tip our car service?

[terribm]

I have booked a car service to pick us up at the amtrak station and take us to our resort. I booked roundtrip and for a total price of $100 which needs to be paid to the driver upon our arrival at our resort. My question is, do I give this driver a tip based on $50 and give our return driver the same? TIA

I always tip half each way. That way, if you get a different driver, you don't have to overtip.

A lil' OT but related so hopefully this question is ok. We are going to be taking a town car from Port Canaveral to Grand Floridian and then later from GF to MCO. We have used ME and DCL services before and never a town car service. My question is how much do you usually tip the driver ? Thanks so much!

That's what we did whenever we used a car service. We tip 20% of the whole fare, so $10 for the driver to the destination and $10 to the driver from the destination, even though you pay the full amount of the fare to the first driver.

If it's decent service, I tip at about 15%, each way. But, if the service is really good (pleasant driver who helps with luggage, is polite but not aloof, etc) I tip at 20%.
