Car Delivery - would you tip?

I have a new car arriving today. It is being driven from approx. 350 miles away.

Would it be odd to tip the driver?

No. I tipped mine who delivered my car. He had to head back on a train.

I understand that this one won't have to get public transport, they have a chaser car apparently so there will be 2 of them.

I wouldn't tip.

Nope, seems odd. But I hate tipping culture anyway. People are paid to do a job, they should be paid enough without it needing to be topped up.

We didn't tip, was a 10 mile drive for them with a chaser car. They had messed us about a bit, we had turned up to pick up the car as agreed but it wasn't ready and they hadn't cancelled.

It's it's brand new and they drive it 350 miles, it's kind of arrived devalued.

@Ronnii I agree, but it's a business lease so I don't need to worry about that so much luckily.
