Well said

Keefelane66 11-29-2023 07:20 PM

I'm quite generous I tip myself $50 each way.

Rylee 11-30-2023 05:35 AM

Tipping.

10% here in UK .....20% if in US.
Nothing if they do not help with cases.

I generally stick to 20% of the fare. If I have a group of people and they have to handle more bags I'll tip a bit more.

ThirdOfFive 11-30-2023 07:21 AM

20%. Less, if the service is lacking in some respect.

I haven’t flown in a while so I’m glad I asked.
Thanks!!

Nothing. I drive myself.

If the car service is a one man operation and the owner of the car is the driver - he gets all the money? Not sure what to think of that?

$20 for a car that picks me up at home and drops me off at the airport, then another $20 on the return trip.

Golfer222 12-01-2023 10:15 AM

depends on whether they get out of the car to load luggage (20%) or if they just sit in the car and pop the trunk (0%)
Less if they add a credit card surcharge

$20 in cash to the driver as the ride is over $100. They are usually very appreciative so I do think this is more then most people give them. If I take Groom it's $5 cash to the driver (per person) - never in advance to the online booking system.

Tipping threads on TV are so funny, everybody claims to tip ridiculous amounts of money and "if you can't tip at least 25% then you shouldn't be eating at that restaurant". Well I've watched and the average person doesn't tip much. And the whole concept of tipping is also ridiculous in this day and age.

Having said all of that, at least one private car company tracks customer tips so, as noted above, you need to tip enough to stay on their "good customer" list. I've tipped $10 each way on a fare of $70 and they still pick me up. Might have to up it a little though.
