If your fare is higher, you can use LE74Z, which is a round trip discount of 15% from Visa, when you use a Visa card:

Note: The driver is a franchisee - if you use a discount, it comes directly out of the fare submitted to him by SuperShuttle. I have occasionally been questioned - not in an especially friendly way - about where I found a discount. YMMV but I'm willing to tolerate the occasional attitude.

Helpful tip: I have received a substantially lower fare by searching for a hotel name rather than the hotel address. Apparently some hotels are priced lower than the usual distance based fare.

While I hate supershuttle and haven't used them since I lived near LAX over 10 years ago even though they are now at IAD, I did not know the franchisee thing

Being a franchisee are you saying that the owner is the driver? if so, then why tip at all as I don't tip owners for anything else? if not, then why does the driver (if not an owner) care about the discount?
