Taxis cabs and tipping

[pigby]

WE are using Tiffany towncars for a 3 way journey - Sanford airport to Universal Studios hotel (RPR) then to WDW (SSR) and then back to Sanford for a total of $215. We will pay the full amount to the first cab driver but what about tips?

I thought $15 for each of the airport trips and $10 for the journey between US and WDW - is this about right? I am a non US citizen and tipping is a bit different in the UK.

The general rule of thumb for good service is 20% of the fare. It's also customary to tip $1-2 for each bag they handle depending on weight.

I would add a couple dollars to each airport trip, plus tip for bags, and for the middle leg I think you are good other than bag handling.

Keep in mind that tip *might* be already included--check to be sure--in which case you only need tip for baggage handling.

Also, if they make a grocery stop for you it's customary to add $5 to your tip for their "wait time."

Have a great holiday!
