Etihad limo service - to tip (how much) or not to..
As I will be using the pearl limo service soon, I would like to know if a tip is expected and if so - about how much. In Abu Dhabi, I bet they expect a lot and they will keep holding their hand open until they are satisfied - as far as my experience with arabic countries tells me (asking people for directions in Morocco or so).
How about Sydney? The thing is, I am not sure if I even have local currency at least when landing... and they usually collect you at the arrival gate before you have time to find an atm or so...

I currently work in the UK as a limo driver. We mainly take crew from airport to airport but also passenger services for premium classes. We always appreciate a tip but never count on it. As for the amount.... well that's up to you. If you feel that you have been well treated and enjoyed your transfer why not give the driver a token of your appreciation.
