Facts about NYC Parking Garages

Do I need to tip the New York City Parking Garage attendant ?

Tipping is not a requirement, but a common practice in most NYC parking garages. The valet parking attendant is providing you with a service, so a nice tip will show your appreciation. Generally, $1-$5 dollar tip is customary, but you are free to give whatever you want. Some people tip the valet parking garage attendant upon entering the parking garage lot. This serves two purposes: it lets the attendant know his service is appreciated and that he needs to be extra careful when parking your vehicle.
