What it takes running a Valet parking service business
Loading player...
GUEST – Thenjiwe Shezi – Owner of First Class Parking
There are few business startups that are as simple (or as potentially profitable) as a valet parking service. When most people think about valet parking, they immediately assume that it is limited to hotels or restaurants. But in fact, there is a range of business opportunities for independent valet parking services in almost any local community.
One of the major benefits of a valet parking service is that startup costs are virtually non-existent. You'll need to invest in uniforms and a few others essentials, but beyond that the startup requirements are limited to a smile, a safe driving record, and a good attitude.
Valet parking services are offered directly to organizers of parties, banquets, weddings, tradeshows, galas, and other one-time events. Don't bother marketing to restaurants and hotels - they employ their own valets. Instead, market your services to planners and groups that have a vested interest in creating a unique event for their guests
