Valet Parking Tip Protocol?
I don't have much experience with valet parking, as I try to avoid it if possible. However, we are shortly faced with paying $24 to a Hyatt Regency as an all-inclusive one-night valet parking charge. We will be storing a high-top van. My question is, will the valets expect a tip on top of the $24, for each time they retrieve the vehicle (probably only once or twice)?

One or two dollars each time is customary for a valet. I know the price of parking is already expensive and then you have to do this... It is part of the process and consider the fact that they are responsible for maintaining probably one of you mst expensive possesions, so don't be stingy!
