Don't follow the question. What method of transportation - taxi, shuttle, bus, train? I rarely if ever tip bus drivers unless it is a tour.

Rita you need to provide more information.. most people do not tip transfer companies if you mean a shared bus.. but if you mean a taxi or private car then a small tip would not be unheard of,, but which country do you mean and from where to where ( airport to which city for instance)

If it is basically a taxi service and the driver was helpful and courtesy I tip about 10%.

It would be a private transfer from airport to hotels and hotels to train stations. The countries are Madrid Spain, Sevilla, Paris, and London
Thank you very much for any advice.

In Paris from airport to hotel, tip maximum 5 euros, that btw is generous. I would not tip 10% as I am sure you are over paying as it is.. ( taxi would be between 45-55 euros) In Paris from hotel to train station I personally would not have wasted money on a private transfer since it would have cost less then 12-15 euros to take a taxi ,,but obviously money is not an issue for you.. I don't tip taxi drivers in town much, just round up,, a euro or so.
