I can't imagine any valet, rushing from car to car, would bother to read a card. Nothing less than multi-lingual voice guidance would really work, IMO.

I had asked my dealer to make sure I get a good amount of valet cards with my Prius delivery. Upon taking delivery I was given a pack of ten cards but was told they had come from their own dealer demo. According to the dealer, Toyota no longer provides valet cards to 2006 owners.

To those who are not aware what they are......Toyota provided instructions on a small card to give to the valet who parks your car for you. They provided the essential info you needed to operate the car. It was printed on both sides and had a cut in it already for you to slip into your key ring.

I thought this was a good idea and am sorry to see it go. Glad, however, that I had specifically asked for them and, as a result, received a pack of them anyway.

Thought everyone would like to know. If others are having different experiences please share here.

Thanks.

I hate to say this but you are not the first or last to have this happen. This has been posted before. I think a dealers just don't want to take the time.

I'm with you, Dave. Also will probably never hand it over to the automated car wash folks (one of several reasons).

As a sidebar, we went to dinner New Year's Eve at a fairly nice restuarant with valet parking in West Houston. I grill the the parking attendants to make sure they can handle the Prius. This one immediately motioned for me to park the car in front of the restaurant - where the new MBs and Porsches usually reside!

No more parking in the back lot for me!

Shoot, I have two (2) packs and not a single one has been removed from either pack. When we meet up later this month, I'd be more than happy to give you a pack.

I'm sorry, did I say 'give'? I meant to say, "my valet cards are officially for sale"

360, I know there are a lot of places to valet in the sprawiling Metropoilis of Racine.
