Please feel free to post any questions, comments, or concerns you may have about the valet field.  There are many fly-by-night companies and I hope that here we can help you avoid choosing the wrong company to represent you.

 

  There are 5 things you MUST demand from your valet company.  If you answer no to any of these questions you should reconsider hiring that company.

 

  • Has your valet company provided you with an up-to-date certificate of insurance naming you additional insured from an A+ rated insurance carrier?
  • Does your valet company have a minimum of one million dollars of general liability insurance and one million dollars of garage keepers legal liability insurance?
  • Has your valet company provided you with an up-to-date certificate of worker’s compensation insurance?
  • Does your valet company pay its employees legally and adhere to state and federal labor laws?
  • Does your valet company provide professionally uniformed, well groomed friendly staff to greet your guests?    

 

Remember that valet parking is more than just parking cars.

Nothing bothers me more than when I valet at an establishment only to see that there lock box for keys is and box made of two by fours and plywood doors.  Their locks are just a hook that even a two year old can get open. 

 

I can't understand why establishment owners would be ok with this.  Keys are worth more than the $12.00 it costs to make them.  They start a moving, dangerous, costly machine. 

 

So, if you are having valet at your home or business, make sure keys are secured in a steel lock box.

Appearance is a major factor to consider when hiring a valet service.  Remember that they are the first impression for your event.  Now, it's not necessary for them to have a 3 piece suit but they should be well presented.  Appearance is also more than the clothes they wear, it’s how they act.  Things such as talking on the phone, texting, smoking, language and conversation amongst workers should be in check.

You should always have a contract when hiring a service.  Remember that a contract is more than just a hand shake.  It helps to outline each party's expectations and clearly documents each parties intentions so that there is no misunderstanding or disputes. 

 

A good contract will make sure to clarify who is responsible if something goes wrong.  And you as the owner should never be liable.  Make sure to obtain the necessary insurance from your contractor.
