Valet parking

[TheDisneygang]

We will be doing the valet parking at our hotel, and are planning on getting the car a few times here and there, and just not sure on what to tip each time. What do you think is a decent tip??

Which hotel? And how much are they charging you for the valet service?

You might mention to the valet when you will be next parking/picking up your car. Sometimes valets have the intelligence to plan ahead to save time. Either way I always tip valets $2. I knew a few people who worked valets at four and five star hotels and they said $5 was fairly common a ten or twenty was awesome but very rare. Many people didn't tip, at all, or when dropping of or picking up or would wait until check out. So it worked out to a couple bucks each time they retrieved a car.
