How much do you tip a car service driver?

I got my kids a limo for their college graduation party in December. I know these drivers go through a lot carting kids around, and I want to tip them properly—but I don’t want to throw them my wallet. How much do you tip a car service driver?

I can only imagine the craziness that service drivers must encounter in their day to day, so it’s very nice of you to want to properly tip them.
Generally, it’s considered appropriate to tip your driver 10% to 20% of the total cost of the limo service. This means that if the entire service costs you $400, you should tip between $40 and $80.
If your kids are graduating college with student loans, it might help to introduce them to the
