Juarez- Star Medica, how much to tip the border shuttle driver?

    I fly into El Paso tomorrow for my surgery on Wednesday, and not only am I getting really nervous about it, but now I'm fixating on the tiny details and spending valuable mental energy there.

    Anyone who has gone to Star Medica via Amigo shuttle from El Paso airport, how much did you tip each way? And did the driver seem pleased or look at you like you were cheap?

    I had a wonderful experience there. Everybody is so nice and professional, doctors, staff, driver, friendly people. Excellent hospital, comfortable, etc. Don't worry at all!
    I tipped the driver 20.00 each way.
    I am 43 lbs less in 4 months of surgery.
    Good luck!

    Thanks, ladies! If I had to guess it was going to be $10 each way. If I average your responses (TripAdvisor says drivers typically don't get tipped in MX) $10 would be about right. I definitely want him to be happy, but I'm not Miss Moneybags, either. Especially after this!

    I'm more excited than nervous now, but that may change tomorrow. I will update as I go along... hopefully internet will work in my room.
