tip the chauffeur
 

I was wondering, if you're using hotel's courtesy cars or limo, how much will you tip the chauffeur? What kind of amount is appropriate? Thanks for your opinions in advance. :)

It depends on the service rendered.

If they take you to the airport and the driver loads and unloads your bags, $2 would be good or you could go $1 per bag. I am picturing airport shuttles in vans with multiple passengers in this situation.

If there is a limo that is chauferring you to restaurants, entertainment or even your office I believe that more would be called for. Something in the $5 plus range. Use your discretion based on length of trip and service.

If you are using a hotel courtesy van, etc., then you've obviously saved some money on a taxi. I would tip at least $2.00 and definitely more if the person was handling bags, etc. Still cheaper, and more convenient than a taxi, your next CD, those expensive running shoes, a trip to the movies...be generous..they even smiled at you!

Depends on how far to the airport I guess... I would tip at least $5... more if you have a lot of bags.

thanks to placeu2, Singletail & puddy for your replies.

Last time when I used the hotel courtesy car (for a night out only, about 15 minutes from the destination), I tipped the chauffeur 5 bucks, I was wondering if it's too little, because I don't want to be stingy. Now I know it's an alright tip. :)
