Need of The Valet Parking Services Los Angeles

(prHWY.com) March 20, 2013 - Los Angeles, CA -- Depending on the type of event or attendance figures, the professional event coordinator might decide to (or be required to) provide valet parking services Los Angeles personnel such as stewards or flaggers to maximize the efficiency of the traffic flow into and out of the parking areas. These parking personnel also improve the space usage by monitoring the number and positions of empty parking spaces and directing people to park their own vehicles in the available spaces. Arrival and departure modes and times, combined with general traffic density, will also indicate how many and the types of personnel are necessary, which suggests that an examination of daily traffic patterns surrounding the event area should be conducted.

Parking stewards or flaggers should have distinctive safety clothing, such as orange vests with reflective strips, as well as paddles or flags and safety flashlights. There should be two-way communication between the stewards or flaggers and the supervisor or manager. These parking personnel might be members of an adult service organization (perhaps hired for the price of a donation to their organization), personnel of a contracted professional service, or off-duty uniformed police officers. If a service organization or contracted parking service provider is engaged, one must confirm who is responsible for liability insurance coverage (person or the organization) and secure a certificate of insurance from the organization or have this coverage added to the policy.

For upscale events such as charity functions or wedding events, valet parking services Los Angeles might be arranged whereby parking attendants collect the car from the owner at the event entrance and drive it to a secure parking area until the guest is ready to depart. This service, however, does not negate the need for parking space arrangements. The parking area for valet-parked vehicles must be secured with the appropriate permissions or rental to prevent the towing of unauthorized or incorrectly parked vehicles. When contracting a valet parking service, it is also important to make certain that the attendants have been appropriately screened and trained in the proper operation of all makes of vehicles. Other parking services include motorist assistance (e.g., jump starts for dead batteries or unlocking doors for those who locked their keys in a car), shuttle service to and from the event entrance and specific pickup points, and extended hours of operation for adjacent parking facilities so that guests will not be rushed at the close of the evening (or find themselves locked out and unable to claim their cars). Again, one might need to secure some of these services from service contractors or service organizations, and one must always consider liability and confirm that proper insurance coverage is in place.
