[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tip $5 upon arrival. Hand over car key (detach from rest of your keys like your house key). Tip $2 every time you get the car out. Where is the hotel?[/quote]

I usually do this.  I tip $5-10 when I arrive (more if I'm going to be getting the car back out a few times or soon after arriving) and then $2 each time they retrieve the car for me.  If it's a short stay and I won't be getting the car out until I leave, I usually give $20 when I arrive and $20 when I leave.  My brother worked as a valet attendant in college at a hotel and his #1 pet peeve was people who didn't tell him they'd be getting the car back out soon after arriving, so I'm pretty good about letting them know that I'll need it again in x hours.

Some hotels will have signs that say tipping isn't necessary and in those cases I test the water.  If the attendant refuses the money in the beginning, I'll try again at the end of my stay, which is when they usually are more receptive to accepting it.    [/quote]

I bet your HHI is not under 150k. You sound well off more than generous. [/quote]
