On Wednesday, we told you some things that valet parking attendants have been known to do when parking cars. Today, we would like to offer some tips on how to minimize problems when you choose to have an attendant park your car. Here are some ways to protect yourself in these situations.
• Be patient. You do not want to be impatient or rude with a person who holds the keys to your Toyota.
• Do not leave anything valuable in your car. Valet services claim they are not responsible for lost or stolen items so make sure you take things with you if you want to still have them at the end of the night. It just saves a bunch of hassle in case something comes up missing.
• Report any damage or missing items immediately. Make sure you get a copy of the report and the contact information for the company’s insurance provider.
• Park your own car if the valets are parking on the streets. You never know if they are going to park your car illegally and you will be stuck with the ticket if they do.
• Tip the valet when you drop the car off. This will go a long way in getting your car taken care of in a respectful manner.
