When to give it

At the end of the ride, once your bags are at the door. On a round trip, tip each driver at the end of each journey, since it may not be the same person both ways.

Which currency

US dollars are widely used and welcome. Eastern Caribbean dollars, Euro's, and pounds are fine too. Small notes make it easy, so keep a few fives and tens handy when you land.

When to tip a little more

• Lots of heavy bags or big suitcases carried for you
• A late-night arrival after a long delay
• A grocery stop or a photo stop on the way
• Extra help with child seats or a stroller
