How do you feel about valet parking? - eviltoast

Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don’t have a good parking situation.

How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn’t bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else?

Personally I don’t like some random person driving my car.

    I was in either a bad fancy hotel or an upscale motel last week. Valet parking only, $40/day.

    My room had an excellent view of the parking lot which was outside and ground floor. It also wasn’t very full.

    But since it was valet only, there were workers there 24x7. It was an odd money grab.

      I went to an oceanfront hotel last year and I discovered upon arrival that all they had was valet parking. I didn’t like that one bit, but IIRC they didn’t charge for it. I did strike up a conversation with the valets and tipped them at the end though. I felt like I needed to talk with them a bit if I wanted my car treated with respect. I was on vacation though, having my car parked in some unknown spot was a worry I was not needing.
