Limo Tipping

Ok I have a question...

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.

I think 15-20% is a lot. I'm not sure what I am doing yet but pretty sure it wont be that. I'm also running into the same issue with the DJ. I don't want to appear cheap but I am paying a lot of $ for their services and an additional 20% is insane!

I am tipping all of my vendors 15-20%. I know it seems like a lot but you have to keep in mind that the people working the day of your wedding might not be the owner of the company (ex: the limo driver doesn't own the limo company and it just an employee). so even though you feel like you already paid so much money, that money likely went to the company, not the people helping you on your special day and the people who are wokring your event might rely heavily on the tips they receive. IMO

Some limo companies include the 20% in your bill. I like it when they don't so you can tip based in service. That is how I am doing it ...15-20% is going to be used as a guideline.
