What to tip a valet driver at a high end restaurant?

Question

What would be the apprioate tip at a restaurant that has complimentary valet parking. These guys work only on tips. The entrees at the restaurant are between 20-30$. Also if you dont valet then you have to pay 5$ to use the parking lot/garage. $1?, $5?, $10$?

Answer 1

I've always tipped $5.00 - $10.00 for valet drivers at classy restaurants.

Answer 2

$5 will do it

Answer 3

I'd tip $2 or $3.  But only after I get my car back in the same condition as when I gave my valet key to them.

Answer 4

if the garage is 5, then the tip should be 5 at the very most.  they will park it on a street somewhere.  and be sure to lock everything in the trunk, and only give the crook the valet parking key.  most of the time valet parking is simple extortion.  I have stopped going to venues that require me to pay for the privilege of entering, such as cover charges and forced valet parking
