Valet Parking - Tip Question

If the parking is free and valet works for tips only, how much should you tip?

Do you tip when you hand over the car and then when you pick it up?
I normally do, 2 bucks both ways.
What is the proper protocol.

I give them a roll of Dimes so they cant spend it all in one place

I usually give them $20 when I park up front and keep the keys because of the contents of my vehicle. It's not that I don't trust them, it's that I don't want them to be liable for anything to happen to my vehicle or it's contents. Often times I'll show them my table and tell them to come get me if they need to move the vehicle.
Oh, and another $10-20 when I leave.

Like $2-3, if anything.

$5

Nothing. It's enough of a gift for them that they got to be in a car like mine.
...j/k - Usually about $3 when I drop off and then $3-5 when I pick up.

Always at least a $5 spot, if I'm at a really nice hotel it's $10 and when I check in $10 or $20 to the valet captain if I'm going to be in & out with the vehicle.

Agreed. About $5 per transaction.
But I'd rather self-park and walk. Neither my wife nor I are so pretentious that we need to valet park.
Same with checking in to a hotel. We each have got one bag on wheels, so we don't need a guy with the big cart, but feel like we have to play along sometimes, but it is a total waste of money/manpower.

$2 or $3 when you pick it up. Listen to the former valet. Why the frick are people giving away so much money? $5 is crazy unless it's a place that's really nice and the valet has to run a mile to get to the car.

$2-$3 bucks in. $2-$3 bucks out.
Minimum. Sometimes it's more. I don't get my jollies depriving kids of a few bucks.

It depends on how many $1s I have so either $2, $3 or $4 if I have them. If not, I'll give $5 but certainly don't feel the need to unless outstanding service was delivered.

I always thought you were better off tipping on the drop off that way you know they won't frick up your car. After they bring it back to you and you don't tip then they have no way of fricking up your car.
I'm just waiting to run into the guy that parked jerry Seinfeld's car.
