A valet can be summoned via the hotel phone. He or she is the person who comes to your room for your dry cleaning or shoes to shine. The person who parks your car at finer restaurants and hotels is also known as a valet.

on 6/19/2008 ugh,
I travel ever week for work, i get payed in the 70k range, fammily of three, so im not rich but not poor...
I stay at a hotel 4 days a week... So if i tip everyone 5 dollars... lets do the math... btw i cannot expense tips!!
taxi to airport 5, skycap 5, door man 5, luggage guy 5, valet 5, concierge 5.... = 30 dollars a day = 120 a week, 480 month... Guess i have to get rid of my car...
Keep in mind not everyone at a hotel is rich and on a vacation...
Alot of downtown hotels force you into this added service crap, otherwise i avoid it like the plague...

on 6/11/2008 I have been valet parking at a south florida resort for 7 years and to tip $2-$3 is bad advice poor reserch on this websites part. if your employees are tipping $2 for thier car to be parked then they probobly not getting the best service. $5 is a good tip in or out, but $10 or more will get your car left close by for the best sevice. If you are not sure what to tip the valet just ask 95% of the valets anywhere are honest as with any profession.

on 3/24/2008 1. If you don’t have the money to give to your valet guy parking your vehicle go find self parking and stay the **** away from valet. (maybe you shouldn’t bother going out if you are broke)
2. Two dollars is a lousy tip. Two dollars was the standard ten years ago. I support my family off of what you give me. Remember that. I have a wife and kids and I am a real person just like you.
3. Don’t tip me a dollar after I saw you flip through a handful off hundred dollar bills. You are a scumbag for flashing your money and being a cheap bastard.
4. Don’t lie about how long you had to wait. We know how long we took to get your car. We can prove it and don’t use it for an excuse not to tip. Sorry if you are the last person to get your car after a club or concert night. We don’t work miracles.
5. Don’t lie and tell us that you ’took’ care of the other guy when you came in. We kn

on 12/23/2007 I work at a casino on the strip in Vegas. I think $5 is a decent amount to tip for your car. $2 is a joke anymore. If you are to cheap to tip then go find self parking. People forget that valet is a job and we have to support familys and this is how we make money. If you have a higher end car then stop being cheap and throw a $20.
