shinytop Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have always found valet parking to be very useful at some medical clinics and hospitals due to the difficulty in finding parking. With my CMax I find myself reluctant to use it. Even if I tell the attendant how to operate and open doors and no key start etc, that attendant will not always be the attendant retrieving my car. How do the rest of you handle it? Smiling Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Jack Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Share the concern - and the view about Medical facilities. An additional concern with this car is that there is no way to lock the rear hatch or secure the cargo area. Do not have a good solution. Last week I had a dinner meeting at a restaurant that had only a small regular lot that was completely full and a large valet-only lot. I gave them some instructions and took my chances. Outcome was OK. Last year, directly across the street from our office, a valet parked a hybrid car and left it in gear facing a building on a slight upward incline with the ICE engine off but the system in "ready." When the HV battery got low, the car started the ICE on fast idle and drove itself into the glass storefront, wrecking the car and damaging the building. To make it worse, the valet service was apparently uninsured. Now, I do not ever ask to see an insurance certificate when I let a valet service take my car. Do you?
