My limos (An Escalade 24 pass, Antinque Rolls Royce, and 14 pass Towncar) are booked for three hours. They are driving us one town away to our ceremony (Literally a 5 minute drive). After the 30 minute ceremony, and a few pictures outside the church, they are driving us about 25-30 minutes away to the Reception hall. And then they leave...No pick up at the end of the night or anything. My contract includes a free ride to and from the airport for our honeymoon.
I had planned on Tipping the 2 Bridal party cars $40 a head, and $60 for the Rolls royce being that he's kind of the 'ring Leader' and being that we are the bride and groom, may treat us a bit better.
Are any of you girls tipping 15-20% of the actual bill instead. That would be $280 for me which the three drivers would split 3 ways. Is that crazy? I kind of feel bad not tipping 15-20% but its a significant difference in price. Any feedback???
Also, the contract has a little section that says '15-20% tip not included...Kind of wierd being that it's a tip and not a mandatory expense but whatever...What would you guys do.

Re: Limo Tipping
We had a 20 passenger Escalade limo for 3 hours, and tipped the driver $50. It was a 20 minute drive to the dock for pictures, and about a 30 minute drive to the hall (it would've been 10 minutes, but we were done taking pictures really early and couldn't get to the hall until 5. He said he'd take the scenic route so we had more time to drink in the limo lol)

Re: Limo Tipping
That seems too high... I would be tipping about $400! I only have a party bus and a rolls... I was thinking $50/$100 a piece.
