Does the 2007 come with valet cards?

PorkchopPrius · 02-11-2007, 12:40 PM

Hi, I have used the search function but haven't found out if the 07 Prius comes with valet instructions...

I know that the pre-delivery checklist states that it should come with the car, but mine didn't come with any.

Do you guys find that you still need them with valet or not? I am sure it depends on where you are located, but I don't think there are a ton of Prii in New England, especially Rhode Island

I guess I can just print some out but don't know if I even need to bother.

Thank you for your opinions!
Joanna

I didn't get any valet cards in the 2007 I took delivery of this past week, either. I was concerned that there wouldn't be any, so, I split the otherwise never-used pad from my 2005 before selling it. No, I've never had occassion to use a valet in the past year and 5 months that I had the 2005, but I wanted to be certain I had a small supply, just in case.

I got a bunch in my 2007 which I just drove off the lot yesterday.

'bout 50 of 'em, in a pad.

Steve.

Thanks for letting me know guys; looks like I will be printing some out- just in case

Or go back to the dealer and ask for some...

Actually, if you search around here you can find them in other languages, which may be helpful in some cases. By now, a lot of parking valets have Prius experience.

Using a parking valet may also require some driver training. Shortly after getting my car, which has SKS, I took my wife to a restaurant that has a parking valet. We got out, the valet took the car away, we went in and ate. When we were finished and I gave my claim ticket to the valet, he said "We parked your car, sir, but we don't have any keys to pick it up for you." Yep, the fob was still in my pocket. I handed it over with a good deal of embarrassment and he went and got the car. I gave him a good tip.

What is a valet card?

Stev0 · 02-12-2007, 12:27 PM

A little pad that is basically "Driving a Prius for Dummies". You take one off the pad and give it to the Valet.

I just printed out several of this Valet Card image. Here's a .pdf image of a Prius Valet Card:

... and my 2007 Prius did NOT have a pad of Valet Cards.

I did not get any when I took delivery of my '07 on January 15th.

Dealer said they are not available any more. Can someone give me a part # so I can have words with them?
