Valet parking etiquette

[concrtslt]

What do you do about tipping when staying at a hotel with valet service?
The valet fee is X dollars per day, with in/out priveleges. Do you tip
every time you take the car out, or do you give one big tip at the end of
the stay? Just curious to see what y'all think...

I generally tip each time the valet brings me my car.

I tip each time with valet service because it always seems to be different
employees taking or giving me my car, and I usually have no idea how they
handle tips -- whether the individuals keep them or whether they have a pool
to combine them.

In cases where it's been the same person assisting me (e.g. a concierge, one
particular housekeeper, etc.), I wait and tip at the end of my stay.

I tip each time they pickup or drop off the car. I consider it a small
investment to avoid door dings and insure prompt service.
