We're taking a limo from the airport to OKW, from OKW to Port Canaveral, and from the port back to the airport. I know we have to pay the driver on the first leg for the entire trip, and that we should tip each driver for each leg. My question is: How much do we tip?

We would normally tip 20% of the entire cost. Do I break down the total I would normally tip into 3 installments, one for each leg? :confused3

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yes, break it down for each trip. If the total cost was $250, the tip would be $50. So, divide it by 3, for each leg, making it about $16-17 per leg. That way, if you get a different driver, they get a tip also...rather than the first one being the only one tipped.
 
The price from MCO to OKW is going to be different from the price from OKW to the port. It also should be different going from the port back to MCO. Get the price for each leg of the trip. If you booked thru a company that has their prices on line you could figure it out there. If not call them to find out each price. Then figure out 20% of each of those prices, or legs of the trip. Each part of the trip is a different price so the drivers should get more or less for each. If that makes sence?

Example from Tiffany Towncar for a towncar:

MCO to OKW- $55 + $11 tip
OKW to port-$105 + $21 tip
port to MCO- $90 + $18 tip
 
We booked through FL Tours, so I went to their website for rate info. I got some general information only because we need a van for 8 passengers, and most of their one-way rates are for smaller cars. It does give me an idea though.

Thanks for the input!
