  • Greet guests upon arrival
  • Park and retrieve vehicles
  • Ensure a proper parking area
  • Recommend attractions to guests
  • Preparing travel luggage
  • Serving food and drinks
  • Car maintenance
  • Ensure the safety of the customer’s car while parking it and after.
  • Get back the customer’s car in time for their departure.
  • Make sure the parking area is clean and safe at all times.
  • Answer customers’ questions politely and maintain trust.

As a valet, you’ll need to know how to welcome guests for a variety of social events, make sure they have everything they need, and ensure that their cars are safely handled. Your duties can also include preparing luggage and clothing for your client when they plan a trip.

In addition to knowing how to safely operate vehicles, you’ll need to know how to always be friendly and professional toward guests and make them feel welcome. You may also be able to travel with your client and their family, so this can be a very rewarding career.

The Importance of a Valet

​Big establishments have employed the services of valets even in the cases where parking spaces are not scarce because the value of such services has on the overall good of the establishment. The key factor of valet services is customer care. In cases where parking spaces are scarce, the service of a valet saves the customer’s time, sparing them the trouble of searching for parking spaces.

More than that, a valet can make much more adequate use of a parking space than inexperienced customers by professionally parking more cars in less space. Also, in cases of a single event, such as a high-end societal wedding reception, the service of a valet will help keep traffic moving.

Across establishments, Valets must typically meet the following requirements:

  • A driver’s license: This is the main requirement of a valet. It is against the law to drive a car without a license, no matter how short the distance is.
  • A clean traffic record with no priors.
  • Certificate of completion on at least one course on becoming a valet.
  • Good customer service skills.
  • High emotional intelligence.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Multitasking skill.

These skills and qualifications listed above are crucial to valet jobs. Most times, customers or guests get to meet the valet first before any other member of staff of an establishment. The good news is that you can take a course on how to be a valet to boost your chances of getting employed.
