if your limo price includes gratuity...

Did you tip over that?

The price on our limo contract includes driver gratuity - and yes, it goes to the drivers as gratuity.

Do you tip above this? If so, how much? We have two drivers...

I was wondering the same thing..but why should you tip above and beyond the 20% gratuity that they add on? I can only see doing that if my drivers were extrodinary and did more then what was in the contract.

I dont plan to. Its literally a 5 minute drive from my house to the church, and maybe 20 mins tops from church to hall. they are already getting over $100 each in gratuity for 3 hours work.

NO. If your bill includes gratuity you do not tip extra.

Re: if your limo price includes gratuity...

the gratutiy isn't just for the driver, most of the time, it also is applied to those who clean the limo afterwards and such.

our driver was AWESOME so we gave her an add'l $50. at that point, what's another $25-50?

We were told it was the driver's gratuity and didn't have to tip above that.

I'm just curious if most people do...

Re: if your limo price includes gratuity...

they told us its included and the drivers are paid well, but we asked more b/c we wanted to know, so they said the most we should do is $5 an hour, and thats what it seems most do(this was our limo company telling us) so we are planning on doing that
