Do you Tip Minnie Van Drivers?

[HoneyBee1991]

We used the mini van service for the first time on our recent trip. It is my understanding that they are Disney world employees. Does that change the way or amount they get paid?

I don't normally use car sharing services but have heard it customary to tip if your driver is very good.

She was a great driver but paying $34 for a one way trip from Magic kingdom to Pop century already hurt my purse strings.

Should I have tipped her?

While cash is accepted, it's easiest to tip through the app. The next time you sign in there will be an option for how much to tip the driver. Same as any ride share service - you tip if they were courteous, did the job well, etc.

They are pretty ridiculously priced, but I am willing to bet that not a huge portion of that goes to the drivers. We should try to find out how that works versus traditional Uber or Lyft, since they are cast members. I have used it three times, and I tipped about 20% each time.

They are really expensive, but I still do tip them. Last time I used it they were all still $25 no matter where on property you went and I tipped $5 each trip.

Use Uber or Lyft instead, much cheaper. Minnie Vans are good if you have more people.

Tip using the app you use to book your ride.

We used the Minnie van twice in our last trip. Both times it saved us greatly in time and aggravation and it was a service we were happy to have available. We did tip the drivers in both cases and wouldnt consider not doing so. You hopefully knew what the cost was beforehand so it was your choice to take the ride.

Not if you need a car seat.

Absolutely. Whether it's your server, your bellman, your housekeeper, or your driver, their livelihoods all depend on the integration of tipping.
