Holy Moley...20% is ALOT!!!!!

I like $50 better...they are just freakin driving a car for 3 and 1/2 hours...

Am I being cheap?

Re: limo driver tip

well actually the 20% is part of the actually bill in some cases, trying to figure out how much extra I am giving our driver.

Celeste...the 20% is total split between the drivers, right? I hope...that is more than $200 per driver. We aren't even going to additional places for pics. They are picking me and the girls up at the house...off to church and then the reception hall. FH and guys are being picked up at the hotel...off to church and then the RH...3 hours...

Maybe $100 each is more acceptable???...really I'm to be fair...20% just seems like alot to me...but if that is the standard...who am I to argue...lol

btw...what do you do that you don't get tips at your job?

Re: limo driver tip

we're giving $50 each driver because we're just doing pick up and drop off so we'll be dishing out $150

Re: limo driver tip

im not giving them anything.....27% gradu... is already added to the price so why should i give them more money if they are being payed by the company, its their job to drive me around.... I was told by friend who already got married that I shouldnt give anybody a tip, its nice to make someone happy but this is unnecessary expense...because its not fair... and after thinking this through i agree..... im not being cheap or anything but its already added in the price

Re: limo driver tip

Our limo company included the tip in the bill- I think it was 20% they said that if anything we can tip more as we feel necessary.

Re: limo driver tip

if you are not locked into a set gratuity percentage use the norm of 20% to base your tip. if you are happy w/ the service, that amount or more iss fine, if not deduct accordingly

Re: limo driver tip

$50 for our driver, $30 for the other 2 and $75 for the trolley because he has to work until 3 am for us, otherwise....FUUUUUUUCK THAT!!!! 20% my @ss....they'll get it and like it! Does it really matter....they're sitting around most of the time anyway!
