Tipping for Towncar

[hocksocmom]

How much do you tip each way for the towncar service to and from Orlando and your resort?? Thanks ~~~~

I guess it's like anything else. Depends on service. Although they kinda have you over a barrel. You are depending on them picking you up for the airport on time. Our first time using a "limo" I think we tipped $20 each way. But the driver was great, talked to us the whole way to and from the airport. Pointing out interesting things and stuff. He took all our bags from airport to car to OKW and vice a versa. Great person, alot of fun. Now if it hadn't been so well, maybe $10 each way? Wouldn't want to be to cheap and make him upset. Also could depend on if you are making a grocery stop or not.

SOBDOSNV did you have the same driver both ways? $20 each way was exactly what I was thinking . . .

 

[SOBDOSNV]

Yes, the same each way. So he knew us from before. Even remembered our names and where we were from. This is there point at Tiffany, to have the same driver both ways. That's why I said you wouldn't want to upset the driver by not tipping good. He might "forget" something when picking you up. But I've only heard a very few bad stories from any of the town car places. So I think it's what ever company sounds right for you. The difference in price isn't enough to go with one over the other IMO.

Thanks - our trip was packaged through a travel agent so I don't know which towncar service we have.

We use Tiffany every time and have always given $10 each way. We always get the same driver (Berkley) because he is so nice and courteous. I cannot ever remember giving more than $10 each way. We even did the grocery stop. A lot of people on this board have also given $10. Try scrolling thru some of the older posts if you are unsure. I personally think $20 is way too much.

We generally tip $15 on the first leg (with a grocery stop) and $10 on the return trip. We tip seperately, as even though you are supposed to have the same driver for both legs, it doesn't always happen.

Berkley was our driver on our last trip as well. I agree, he is a wonderful driver. I also agree that $20 is an extremely high tip. Considering that the cost was less than $45 each way, that would make it nearly a 50% tip. We tipped $10 each way which figures out to be just under 25%. I consider that a generous tip.
