How much to tip valet

Typically, a tip of $2 to $5 is expected when you hand over your keys to the valet, and another $2 to $5 when your vehicle is returned.

When your car is returned, it’s customary to tip again in the same range. If your vehicle has been parked for an extended period, or if the valet goes out of their way to ensure your ride is clean or working smoothly, it’s thoughtful to offer a bit more. Always remember that tipping remains a personal decision, influenced not only by the service you received but also by your own budget and comfort level. Being considerate and courteous, regardless of the amount, goes a long way in showing your appreciation for a job well done.
