I'm going to a hotel that has valet parking and people handle your bags for you. What are the standard tips

Favorite Answer

i usually tip a 5 to the person who retrieves my car. but, if you want your car to be put 'up front' where it can be monitored better then tip a little more (like 10 bucks) to the first valet that takes the car and let him know what you want. if the bags are numerous and you can't do it yourself, i'd also tip a 5er. i think thats decent.

if we are talking like a 5 star luxury resort type hotel, then i'd start at 10 for the tips. depending on how generous you are feeling, big spender!...Show more

If they just park the car somewhere between $2 and $5 is appropriate. If they handle the bags probaby add around $2 to $5 per bag. With the max being around $20 total....Show more

I'd probably slip the guy a $5 if he carried 1 or 2 bags. another $5 to the valet for bringing my car around. you could give him a $10 when he takes your car, maybe he'll remember you and treat you better. hard to say. really depends on the hotel and the city....Show more
