Gotta agree with Ye Ha. Like a sore pecker, he's hard to beat. The reliability and service of Sid with One Lucky Dogg is outstanding. Makes you feel like a V.I.P. He confirms and tracks my flight. Always there on time and has cold beer waiting for me. In the past he's made a stop by Walmart so I could get restocked and really knows his way around town. Best thing is, his shuttles are for tips only. I think he is listed in the classified ad section here.

I usually tip a taxi from airport $0-3. I would not be comfortable giving him $3. This whole business model is very confusing.

I feel the same way. I would love to use the service but have no idea what an appropriate "tip" would be.

I also would consider using this service, but again, what do they consider an appropriate propina? If I give too much I feel like a fool, and if I give too little then I'll also feel like one. What do they consider an appropriate tip for their services?

Tip is 10% of $30.00 (top fare for Airport to Downtwon)=$3.00. Extras like stops at stores etc should up it.

Can't feel bad when that is his advertisement, his offer, and he won't. He posted sometimes he gets very small tips.

I would imagine the trip to the airport and back would consume more then $3.00 in gas and if he has to pay parking that's about $2.25 minimum.

I know he advertises no fee just tips but be reasonable. The cheapest, other then the public bus, is Interbus or going to the departure area and negotiating with a red taxi so you are going to spend at a minimum 12 to 15 bucks.

I would say $15.00 for direct to your hotel or $20.00 if he makes a shopping stop. That's a great price and from what I read it also includes a "glad your here" cold beverage on the house.
