Valet airport parking is a fantastic service that helps you get all of your luggage close to the check-in desk, as well as park your car quickly and safely, without having to do all of the running back and forth. However, it is not every day that someone uses valet airport parking, so what’s the proper way to act? How are you supposed to treat your valet driver? What’s the proper protocol for tipping?
Etiquette Tips For Valet Airport Parking
Keep A Clean Car
If you are going to have someone drive your car, then it is a common courtesy to clean it up a bit before you hand over the keys. It doesn’t need to be fully detailed, but take out the fast food trash to make it a little nicer for your valet driver.
Don’t Leave Valuables
Although you can typically totally trust your valet driver, it is better to put away valuables. This is not just to prevent temptation, but it also goes hand in hand with a tidy car and you can never be sure who will be passing your parked car while you are away.
Don’t Forget To Tip
Although it’s not necessary, a tip is a great way of expressing your gratitude to your valet driver. It doesn’t need to be a huge sum, but a few bucks is worth the price of having your car treated well and delivered back safely. To this end, it is always important to have a bit of cash with you so that you can give your valet driver a token of your appreciation.
Don’t Forget Anything In Your Car
Try not to forget anything in your car when you are unloading. It is a bit more of a pain for your valet driver to run back and get your car if you do. It will be frustrating for you and the driver.
