Tipping has gotten out of hand in America. You never tip the owner of the business. An escort operating on his own is the owner of the business. Don't tip. Reward him by hiring again for a longer period, pay for upgraded advertising, write good reviews, tell your friends, but DON'T TIP. Period.
 
PS: if the escort is sent by an agency, tipping is appropriate.
 
PPS: there have been other threads on this.

Not me.  I may change my mind and like to know everything that is available.

I think we should resist and refuse to pay a penny more than $300.

And also:

OMG. My tongue is erect!

There are a lot of sexy guys in the world that I would love to have in my bed, but would never want to be seen in public with.  This has nothing to do with "discretion," but rather whether or not the guy is presentable in terms of dress, manners, and education. Maybe invite him to your house for coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon first.

I think clients can definitely be more thoughtful. When I travel to a city, I often look for a hotel that's just outside the downtown area. When I was in Portland in June, I found a really nice motel-like place in East Portland with a parking lot. The neighborhood itself was really cool with lots of great restaurants and breweries and it was fairly accessible to downtown. And it was really easy for the travelling escort to find me and find parking. It worked really well. 

in the United States ( where tipping is expected) , I expect the tip to cover this. Did the dude tip you? Its different if the guy didn't tip, but if its $5 let it slide, especially if you think there is potential for another appointment . 
Note providers : If asked for cab to or from I I generally won't tip. Even more so if its outside the US where its not really customary 

This is an old story here.  I am fine with paying more for an out call than an in call.  I assume the extra fee covers travel time and any costs.  I don't agree to pay for cabs because I don't know what I am getting in to.  I don't deal with Uber because I am not his secretary.  My boss expects me to get to the job site on my own. Why can't he?

Every business has difficult and unreliable clients, mine does too.  Take it with a grain of salt and move on.  It's part of the territory.

He has seemingly been based in Tucson for a while.  I wrote him there and didn't hear back for ages.  In the end the reply was professional, but it was a long time coming.  I just think he doesn't pay much attention to his correspondence.

I simply think payment up front is tacky.  If I know in advance that I am expected to do so, I don't make the date.  I have only been surprised once.  If that happens again, I hope I have the balls to leave or to ask the escort to.
My experience is also is that it is rare for anyone to ask for payment upfront.  Generally I pay with as few bills as possible and at the end of the session hand them over spread out so that they can instantly be visually counted.
There is risk in every encounter for both sides.

You can't control how the other guy reacts, only what you say.  If you are comfortable with the answer you gave, fine.  Let him go.
