Effects

A tip should never be below 10 percent, even if you had problems with the service. On the other hand, a type should not normally exceed 20 percent, according to FindALink: Tipping Guide.
Warning
-
Some limo companies include gratuity in their quoted rates. Before leaving on your journey, call the limo company and check if their rates include gratuity. If they include a set gratuity, a tip is not necessary.

Even when a gratuity is included, it is still completely acceptable to tip your chauffeur. That included 'tip' is really a service charge that covers the driver's pay, and is generally a minimum. After all, this is a person that you're trusting your life to. Not just someone that went and got yor food or beer. Show some class and ALWAYS TIP THE CHAUFFEUR,
