Valet only makes sense in cities like LA or Miami where: 1. There are legitimately fancy places that routinely handle high-end cars and return them to drivers undinged 2. Possibly have security problems, whereby you don't want to leave a nice car on the street
I'm in Miami and I only valet when there's no other accessible parking nearby. That's where I see the value, if its somewhere downtown or the beach then yea I'd rather valet cause finding a spot's gonna be a bitch
