Tip for car service driver?

[Mom of 5]

Can anyone tell me what the customary tip is for a car service driver to and from the airport to WDW? DH and I did this only once before (7 years ago), and I can't remember.

Thanks in advance --

We usually tip about 20% breaking the tip about in half for the two trips. We've always had two different drivers, so although you have to pay for the entire trip on the front end, I don't recommend doing a complete tip on the front end.

Also, we tend to tip our driver from the airport to the resort a little better than for the return trip. We do that because that driver does quite a bit more for us -- helping with bags from baggage claim, waiting during the grocery stop, and psyching us up for the vacation. The trip to the airport is usually subdued and all the driver needs to do is drop us at the curb.

That's my two cents!

We also tip 20 percent, although be aware that some car services include the tip in your price. We take Happy Limo, which includes the tip, but we usually give extra if the driver gives really good service.

We just used Tiffany in October. There were three adults and one child. We tipped $12 on the way to the hotel (included grocery stop and help with the luggage) and $10 on the return trip to the airport. Our rental fee was $80. The service was outstanding!

We usually tip $10 each way.
