Tipping Tiffany drivers

graybill · 11-06-2002

I will be using Tiffany Towncars for transportation from the airport to the Beach Club Villas in Dec. Could someone please let me know the proper amount to tip the driver.

I have used some services that include the tip for the driver in the charge for the service, but I don't think that is the case with Tiffany.

Thanks for any help.

Tiffany is actually more like a clearinghouse. The drivers all work for themselves, and own their own cars. Tiffany takes a cut of their fee for booking them. Therefore, tips are not included. We used them for trips from the airport-Hard Rock, Hard Rock-CBR, and CBR-airport. We tipped $5/ride, and it was most appreciated. :D :)

The voucher that I used to pay the driver said that gratuity was included. Is this not true?

There was 9 of us and everybody put in a few dollars. We ended up giving him $25 from the airport (with store stop) and $15 to the airport.

I don't know if tip was included in our fee, if it was then he made out REALLY good. But he was great so I don't mind.

We didn't use vouchers(we paid the drivers directly), so I'm not sure how they work.:D :)

Thanks for the advice everyone!

We'll be having 2 pickups at the airport on the same day since my daughter is coming in from St. Louis and her flight arrives about 3 hours later than ours. Now I can let her know as well.

She just came back from Orlando from a neuroscience conference and had no time to get to WDW. She plans to make up for it in about 24 days!

It's getting close!

Just a little general info about Tiffany. I just e-mailed them to find out about number of passengers for a towncar. They told me that they could not accomodate luggage for 4 and we would need a van. Their price is still cheaper then Mears!!!

Sorry forgot to include the price. $95.00 was the quote for a van, roundtrip to our resort.
