Do you guys tip the guy who drives the town car?
At times, I take car service upstate on the weekends to visit family (~50-60 mins) since I leave from work on Friday night.
I have a carry-on bag that the driver puts in and takes out of the trunk for me.
Do you tip the driver? I've been doing this for about 2 years now and for the first time got a dirty look from the driver because it looked like he was waiting for a tip.
Never thought about this before.

yes, for sure. In my circles, I have never seen anyone not tip a driver, even the yellow cabs. These guys get paid shit. I can't think of any reason to tip a waiter/bartender but not the guy that you rely on to get home safely.
But isn't a tip included in your company's payment to the car service provider? That's how Seamless Web works, so I assumed that that's how this would work, too.
My philosophy when I did it was that if the company was paying for it, might as well tip them large anyway. If it's all being reimbursed by the company and never hits my wallet, why not tip large?
Tip is included in what your firm is charged. I don't usually tip these guys.
There is one guy who always has newspapers and magazines back there, has a cooler in his trunk with cold bottles of water, and must prep the car before he picks someone up since theres a cold bottle of water in the cup holder... usually shoots the shit with you, but also leaves you the fuck alone when you don't feel like bullshitting... etc... I gave this guy a 20 spot during the holidays. But he really works for it. I've seen one of my MDs paid for the driver's parking ticket cuz a cunt traffic cop was writing him a ticket while we were getting into the car.
firm tells us to never tip driver. a more than generous tip percentage is already included from firm. in your case, i would check with the firm since this is an upstate trip (different from routine). my old firm never asked questions on any expense, but some cultures are different.
