Tipping a driver
« on: February 09, 2014, 11:01:30 AM »
I wanted to know what etiquette was on tipping a driver. My wife and I came back from a trip and had a car service pick us up at the airport so we didn't have to do long term parking. Anyway, after we get home, she tipped him $10. Now, I know this isn't much, it was about 15%, but I took my own bags to the door. Before all of the "what the fuck is your wife doing making financial decisions", I want to know what you getbiggers expect from a car service, and what, if any, you tip. Just an FYI, we are good tippers, almost always tipping 20% unless you're a real douche.

Always go 20%, maybe a tad higher if the driver was decent, and I don't want to break bill and wait for change.

As far as car service, I always ask ahead of time if there are fees for trunk use, oversized luggage, etc.... In general, the only think I expect is that they are polite and efficient, everything else is an unexpected bonus.

.50 cents is good. Because they are jacking up the price on you from the start.

I`m good to drivers, after they carry my bags I let them take pics with me and I waive the $20 fee as a tip.

I do the same when we would have to use long term parking, but the tip is generally ncluded in our fee for car service.

I'm surprised it took five posts to get this answer.  :D

Obviously I meant her when I said "I", as in the passenger.

I never tip drivers. Their rates are absolutely exorbitant.

OK.. hopefully after she wasted your money tipping the cab driver you took her inside and anally fucked her, wiped your cock on her ass cheeks and spat in her hair...or verbally scowled her. Either one will be accepted.
