Bay Area valet parking. Service is the key.
Peninsula Parking provides valet parking service for hotels, restaurants, hospitals, weddings, and corporate events across the San Francisco Bay Area since 1997. Trained attendants, clean uniforms, fully insured. The handoff at the curb is the first thing your guests rate, and the last thing they remember.

Who it's for
Eight venues that hire valet. Each runs a different arrival.
A wedding driveway is not a hotel motor court. A gala arrival is not a Tuesday dinner shift. We staff each venue for its own choreography, with a supervisor who has run that kind of curb before.

Frequently asked
Common questions about Peninsula valet.
How many valets do I need?
It depends on guest count, arrival window, and the layout of your curb. As a rule of thumb, we plan one attendant for every 25 vehicles arriving inside a 30-minute window for an event, plus a supervisor. For ongoing programs, we staff to peak hour rather than to a flat headcount.
The honest answer is that we will tell you on a walkthrough. We have walked enough Peninsula curbs to know which ones need three attendants and which ones need seven.
How do you handle high-end vehicles?
Every attendant on a Peninsula crew is trained to drive a Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Porsche Taycan, and to recognize when a vehicle should be parked closer to the door rather than rotated through the lot. For weddings and high-value events we record a written walk-around on every vehicle over a defined threshold.
What about rain?
Every event quote includes a written rain plan. Umbrellas, additional staff to escort guests from car to entrance, modified signage. We do not charge extra to invoke it. The Peninsula's microclimates have made us cautious; we would rather staff for weather that does not arrive than the other way.
What does it cost?
Pricing is a function of staffing level, hours, location, and any layered services (shuttle, concierge, doorman). We do not publish a flat hourly rate because it would either be misleadingly high for ongoing programs or misleadingly low for rain-prepped weddings. After a brief conversation we can return a written quote within 24 hours.
Can you issue a Certificate of Insurance for my venue?
Yes. We can issue a COI naming your venue, property manager, and event production company. The standard wording most Bay Area venues require is on file and ready to go.
How far in advance should I book?
For one-off events we ask for as much notice as possible, but we have staffed events on a week's lead time when crews were available. For ongoing programs (commercial, restaurant, hotel) the relationship typically begins with a site walkthrough two to four weeks before launch.
