Valet Parking: Selecting A Merchant

by Ryan Tole

How do you go about choosing the right company to provide valet parking for your event? How do you know a great company from a so-so one? Are there ways you can tell? The phone book certainly isn’t much help. The ads in the business section in the back may give you the phone number and possibly the address, and maybe even a picture, but that’s about it. That’s not much information to go on. And most valet parking companies have a website these days, but that’s also hit and miss. Some are very informative, while others are bare bones. You’ll need to contact the companies directly, and ask them some questions before choosing one.

This way, you can ask them the things that are important to you. It will take you a while to go through the entire process of calling all the valet companies you’ve got in mind. So be sure to have a few hours set aside to get through it. Of course, if you’re highly organized, you don’t have to call them all in the same sitting, but you’ll have to make sure you take good notes and save them well. And you’ll also need to have your questions written down ahead of time, so you don’t forget anything.

Is your company new, or has it been around a while?

What’s the total number of events whose parking your firm has managed (approximately)?

Would you explain your bonding and insurance policies to me?
