How Much to Tip a Limo or Black Car Driver in Atlanta

November 1, 2026·3 min read·By Prince Limousines

Short answer

Gratuity is not included in a Prince Limousines fare. At checkout you choose 18%, 20% or 25%. Choose 18% for a straightforward transfer, and a higher percentage for a long day, heavy luggage or changes to the itinerary.

Tipping a chauffeur should not require arithmetic or cash. With Prince Limousines the decision is made once, at checkout, and the examples below show what each option comes to.

How gratuity works with Prince Limousines

The fare covers your chauffeur, the vehicle and the confirmed route, and your fixed price is confirmed before the ride. Gratuity is added separately. You choose 18%, 20% or 25% when you check out, so nothing is left to calculate at the curb.

Which percentage to choose

A simple guide:

  • 18% suits a straightforward airport transfer or point-to-point ride.
  • 20% suits a ride with luggage, a meet and greet inside the terminal, or a traffic-heavy route.
  • 25% suits a long hourly booking, a large group, a late-running itinerary or a day that changed along the way.

Worked examples

The table that follows uses starting fares and the current hourly rates. Cars have a 3-hour minimum for hourly service, so a one- or two-hour example does not apply. Your confirmed fare may differ with distance and trip details, and the checkout percentage applies to that fare.
