There is no better feeling than arriving at any location, whether it be an event, a store, or a restaurant, than being able to valet your vehicle. You don’t have to worry about trying to find street parking, or drive around looking for a parking spot while wasting your valuable time, or be concerned about leaving your car in a ‘safe’ area, or even have to remember which parkade level or street you parked on. Valet parking takes care of all of these details, and more, so that you can get to and from your destination safely and comfortably whilst your vehicle is well taken care of.
While seen as an add-on luxury in the past, valet parking is becoming more and more common and we expect to see this trend continue into the future. As urban cities and amenities continue to focus on more walkable, livable communities and transit situations, the use of the vehicle becomes even more difficult – and that’s even before we get to actually having to park your vehicle. In the last year alone, parking rates in major Canadian cities, including Vancouver, have increased more than 2%. With parking rates at an all-time high, many individuals are considering valet when they might not have in the past as the cost can sometimes be equal or less than the price of parking for the duration of your visit.
Not only could valet parking save you money, it also provides the utmost convenience in an increasingly stressful world. With parking hours and durations always changing, it can be extremely stressful and time consuming to determine where you can park, and for how long, and when you need to renew your parking – as your trusted valet partner, we’re here to help mitigate that stress and optimize convenient parking opportunities. For a business owner or event planner, this convenience also provides the benefit of the cars being parked farther from the destination; as well as allowing higher parking density, dependent on the parking infrastructure available. As more and more industrial spaces continue to be built upwards to manage urban density issues, the stacking of cars may become more prevalent showcasing valet’s viability into the future.
As technology continues to evolve and advance, we can only assume that every industry will continue to be impacted by these advancements. For valet, we expect that with an increase in technological advancements, we will see an increased in tech integrations to make the valet experience more efficient, effective and convenient for the end user. These integrations may include app integrations, AI software abilities and more. As our world continues to be technology driven, it is very likely that the more technology-forward parking management is, the more likely it is to be the prominent parking choice in the future – making valet parking a top-tier choice.
