How much to tip a valet? Most times I go somewhere I park my own car. I try to leave early enough to find a parking spot in a nearby garage and walk to where I have to go. But sometimes you can’t find a spot, or I’m in a huge hurry, or the weather is bad, or you have a date wearing high heels and walking several blocks is not practical. There are several good reasons for needing to use a valet on occasion. So there is the question of how much to tip the guy who takes your keys and parks your car for you. Plus there is the guy who brings the car back to you. So which one do you tip? Or do you tip both? How much?
