If it's the only option you pull up and treat valet employee as an equal since he/she is just another face hustling for paper, take a video of your odometer and a walk around of the car and let the valet driver know you did that and if you have a Dashcam or any radar detector let them know as well. This will ensure the driver to NOT joyride the car if they were planning to and take extra good care of it if they weren't going to already.
Quick side note: most valet employees don't know the difference between a 320 and M3CS they're just there for the paycheck. If you have a 6 speed avoid valet at all costs. This applies to SoCal mostly idk about other states but most restaurants and event venues don't have a credible valet company, they just pay people cash to park cars (don't ask how I know  ).
BOTTOM LINE: No ones gonna treat your car like you so avoid valet to sleep comfortably at nights. |
I say don't valet your car, ever, anywhere. You're entrusting your valuables to someone who's poorly paid and probably completely untrained and unaccountable. Sound like a good idea? Nope, doesn't sound smart to me either.
