I have used a "valet" only twice. The bank I was using long ago was downtown OKC. The only parking was on the street 1/2 a mile or more away or in the parking garage owned by the bank. It was not self service. I did not want to walk that far in 100+ degree heat so I handed the keys to my 914 to the valet and asked if he knew how to drive a Porsche. He responded he could drive anything.

He promptly put it into 2nd gear and killed it. I told him it would be best to use 1st gear. I rowed around and put it in 3rd and killed it. I repeated that first gear was best. He held up his hands and I reached in and put in in first, (a 901 transmission) He killed it again. I told him it would be required to remove the parking brake. He looked everywhere, felt under the dash and popped the front trunk. I walked around and closed it again. He held up his hands again and I reached in an released the handbrake which is of course on the left side of the seat next to the door.
He put my car in the very first space reserved for the bank president. I changed banks soon after that.

Tho other time was in Downtown San Fransisco with my current 85 911. We were playing tourists and stayed in the Warf area and the hotel had valet parking only, no exceptions. I handed the kid a $20 and requested he find a safe spot for it. He carefully drove it to a spot next to a pillar close to the elevator and gave me back my keys. We could go from our room to the car to access the stuff in the car. THe car did not move for the entire stay. No need to drive in SF.
