I NEVER use valet for a number of reasons. With airport rental cars I have several times in the past and twice had bad experiences.

I cannot believe people hand over their keys, garage door openers and a glovebox of papers with their addresses on them to a stranger.

Never used a valet either.

I’ve used it on rare occasions, but the valet gets only what is needed to operate the vehicle. We remove the garage door opener and any papers with ID before turning the key over.

Um, have you ever heard of a VALET KEY? And/or throwing everything into the glove box or trunk before handing over the VALET KEY to the valet?

Still, parking in the big city is just another reason not to go into the big city—valets or no valets. There’s too little of it and it’s all too expensive. It’s cheaper in the long run just to build a bar in your own house and buy a big screen HDTV.

It’s a rip off...no need for it..just another way to take money from people.

They only get my car key, and it's a keyless entry dongle that can't be easily duplicated.

My glovebox is locked, and inside the glovebox is a switch that prevents the valet from opening my trunk.
