In the Netherlands, the luxury service Valet parking is increasingly being used at hotels, airports and entertainment venues such as theater and opera. Now this has become a completely different story with the corona crisis. According to experts, it appears that the coronavirus can also spread through door handles, knobs and other surfaces in the car. 

Companies that specialize in Valet Parking, who start working after the restrictive measures, have to think carefully about how they want to offer this service to their customers from now on.

America leading in Valet parking

In America you will find Valet parking at many hospitals, residential buildings and companies. These services have practically come to a standstill as most companies recommend self-parking instead of using the valet parking service.

If buildings or companies nevertheless choose to offer the Valet parking to customers, it is important that their employees who park the vehicles are very well protected with personal means. This must be done by means of gloves, mouth masks, disinfectant wipes and disinfectants. Violating this rule can result in a fine or imprisonment.
