Standard Tipping for Airport Car Service
The industry standard for tipping a professional car service to the airport (limousine or black car service) is based on a percentage of the total fare before taxes and fees.
The recommended tipping range is:
- Standard Service: 15% to 20% of the pre-tax fare.
- Exceptional Service: 20% to 25% for drivers who provide extra assistance.
| Fare Amount | 15% Tip | 20% Tip | 25% Tip (Exceptional) |
| $75 | $11.25 | $15.00 | $18.75 |
| $120 | $18.00 | $24.00 | $30.00 |
| $200 | $30.00 | $40.00 | $50.00 |
Critical Check: Always review your invoice! Many premium airport car service companies automatically include a 15–20% gratuity (listed as “Service Charge” or “Gratuity Included”). If it’s included, an additional tip is optional.
