The Do's and Don'ts of Valet Parking Service

Many people don't have the opportunity to have their car parked with a valet attendant often. Therefore these tips may seem obvious but need pointing out.

First and foremost, put away your valuables. Although all valet attendants that work for Boston Valet have been vetted and checked, we do not take responsibility for any lost or stolen items.

It is a good practice to clear up your car from the junk, specifically in the front seats. It will make it more comfortable for a stranger to drive it as well as give them a good impression of you.

Letting the parking attendant know any quirks or differences relevant in your vehicle will help move things along smoothly.

Make sure to have cash on hand when using a valet parking service.

Don't lose your parking ticket. It is time consuming and can cause confusion when someone loses a parking stub for their valet parking.

Lastly, remember that a good attitude will take you a long way.
