This means that when you leave your car in the hands of valet parking, any damage caused may not be covered. It is strongly advised that you check your insurance policy document to see exactly what is covered.
Some valet parking companies assure car owners that their insurance will cover their vehicle, however damage to your car and your possessions left in the car may not be covered if an accident occurs.
There have also been cases where valet parking operations have misled customers into believing their vehicle will be stored securely in their absence, whilst in reality the vehicles were left in compounds without CCTV or proper security measures.
