by Chelsea Camper | Last Updated December 12, 2012

Hospitals, country clubs, hotels, and many other businesses use valet parking tags. These help their guests get in and out without having to worry about parking. Some businesses offer valeting as a complementary service, while others offer the service day in and day out.
