You’ll have true peace of mind knowing that you can protect yourself and your assets if an incident occurs.

Our valet parking insurance is suitable for:

• Valet parking services

• Shopping malls
• Casinos
• Entertainment complexes
• Other businesses that provide valet parking facilities

Whether you’re a business that hires its own valets or a specialist valet parking service that’s contracted by other businesses, you will be well aware of the risks associated with driving another person’s car.

While we’re certain you take the time to train your staff adequately to drive vehicles safely, accidents and incidents do happen. Sometimes the car might get dinged or scratched, particularly in tight parking spots or small parking lots. There’s always the possibility that the actions of another driver may cause an accident or collision while the car is in the hands of the valet. Although thankfully rare, the worst-case scenario is that a valet-driven car causes bodily harm to a pedestrian.

With more and more people willing to use valet parking services, the rate of associated crimes also rises. Thefts from parked vehicles and the vandalism associated with thieves breaking into the vehicle are on the increase. Valet parked cars can be an easy target, despite security measures.

Valet business insurance offers liability protection if a valet driver causes injuries or property damage. It can also cover damages sustained by the vehicle while in the valet service’s care. Specific coverages include:

• General liability: GL insurance protects against accidents that a valet attendant causes while operating the vehicle. This coverage pays for the medical expenses of an injured party, as well as the cost to repair or replace damaged property. If the party sues you, GL will also cover your legal expenses such as court costs and attorney fees.
• Garage keeper’s liability: This insurance covers damage to a vehicle while it’s in the parking area, or if it’s stolen from the lot. For valet service contractors, the coverage applies even if the valet company doesn’t own the parking facility or lot.

XINSURANCE can provide a liability policy with limits of up to $10 million or as much as $20 million via our reinsurance partners. Please note that we do not offer workers’ compensation insurance for valet company employees.

The following scenarios indicate when valet company insurance should provide coverage:

You’re the owner of an upscale restaurant that employs a valet staff. After dining at your establishment, a patron notices a large scratch on his vehicle and states that it happened in your parking lot. You can file a claim under garage keeper’s liability in this situation.

An attendant who works for your valet company strikes a pedestrian while driving a customer’s car. Your general liability insurance will cover the medical expenses and pay for a settlement or judgment resulting from a successful lawsuit filed by the injured party.

A thief steals a vehicle while it is under the care of your valet service. Your garage keeper’s liability insurance will cover the loss.

Valet parking insurance can offer the following coverage:

• General liability – covering injury to a person and damage to a property caused by a valet attendant.
• Garage keeper’s liability – covering damage to any vehicle left in the valet’s care. This includes collision and theft.

At XINSURANCE, we can also offer over 40 years of expertise. We pride ourselves on having the ability to provide coverage solutions where other insurers refuse. That means, even if you’ve had issues getting liability insurance for valet parking in the past, XINSURANCE will be able to help you.
