I realized i've been tipping $2 for about 10 years. Is this too little?

depends on where it is, how far the car is, etc. that being said, two or three bucks.

Restaurant, 2-3, hotel more depending on length and times in and out.

$3-$5 is the right answer

I don't valet often. When you say "tip" do you mean in addition to the standard fee that depending on where you is usually $2-$5. I thought that was the tip. Am I supposed to give more?

I tip the guy parking the car $5 usually. Maybe $2 to the guy who brings it back. I just hope they park it where it won't get door dings and are nice to the clutch.

I'm supposed to tip the guy taking my car?

Nothing. That's their job

IDK, I get really worried about the parking job. I worry about them not engaging the parking brake correctly...hell most attendants I worry about them dropping the clutch and ramming into something right there. I hate giving people the keys to my car.

This
Only times I have tipped more is on special date nights at a high end restaurant.
Just about every where I do valet these days is free, but you need to tip.
And I was always told you tip when they bring your car back to you.

Depending on the establishment... anywhere from $3-$5

Why would the amount that you tip vary by the establishment?
Posted on 2/16/14 at 10:02 am to drexyl
.0002% of what the car is worth.

I valeted at a decent hotel.
In general:
$2-5 from people that look like they've had their car valeted before
$0 or $10+ from people that look like first timers who don't know what to do.
$2-3 is what I'd do

why would they hire valets that couldn't drive a stick?

Apparently people usually tip a lot. I've never valeted but my brother used to work at the raddison downtown as well as a few other hotels and claims it was the best money he ever made.
