Limo gratuity question

We are getting married at the RH so we are just getting a pick-up/drop-off.

They said gratuity is included in our price so do we give the driver a few extra bucks, if so how much?


TIA!

im giving each driver about 50 bucks for all day so maybe 25 each for you?

If it's already included in your contract I wouldn't give more than an extra $20.

Ours was also included in the contract price but we liked the driver so much we felt that he deserved extra. Also for putting up with my aunt and her 'I don't want to move so the bride can sit here as she should' attitude the day of we gave him something extra for his trouble... DH slipped him $50.00 more.

We also had just a pick up and drop off at the RH.

M Limo company said that it's included in the price but it's always nice to give the drivers an added tip. What's appropriate for all day? They were saying that the gratuity doesn't just go to the drivers, it gets split between the people that maintain the car, wash and clean etc.

i gave $75 WAY TOO MUCH because i read it should be a certain percentage of what you paid. He did pick us up drive us to photo location and drop us of to the hall so $50 would of been more then fine.

I would give $30 for p/u/do add some for driving around to pic location.

Be careful. Many limo company's add 'gratuity' to the contract but it's really just the drivers regular pay. I know this because my Dad has driven limos for many years and he used to get upset, not with the customers but with his boss because it's deceiving! You should ask the company about gratuity you may be surprised.

We're getting a p/u d/o too. I was going to give $50 to each driver, but is that too much? We're not stopping anywhere for pics.
