The web site allows you to prepay tips but since I was not sure of a suitable amount I thought I would just pay when I got off the van. I realize tipping is a personal decision so I'm just looking for averages. I don't want to be cheap. Thanks in advance.

We use the Village Airport Van. We prepay with credit card and tip the driver in cash. If two of us go, we give him $10, if one then $5.00.

I agree, two choices of transportation cannot be beat. I also think the owner is trying to manage the trips better. The last time we traveled (Christmas) we were the first on the van, the second people came from closer to Sumter Landing and so on all the way south and then to the airport. It was smooth and efficient.

Coming back from airport to TV was less efficient due to the fact that they are picking people up and have no prior knowledge of their destinations. It was a bit of a free for all, but we are always so glad to get home we really don't let it bother us.
