How much does valet parking cost in Los Angeles?

Full-service event valet in Greater Los Angeles runs $600 to $3,500 for the whole event — not per car and not per guest. Below is the starting package, the top of the range, and the exact arithmetic we quote from, so you can run your own number before you call us.

Starting package
$600
4 hours · 3 uniformed attendants · up to 50 guests
Large event, top of range
$3,500
7 hours · 10 uniformed attendants · about 300 guests

Every booking has a 4-hour minimum and a 3-attendant minimum crew. That makes $600 the lowest price for any event, however small.

The formula we quote from

Most valet companies will not tell you how the number is built. We will, because there is nothing clever hiding in it — it is three steps and one multiplication.

Guests ÷ 2 = cars. Cars ÷ 15 = attendants, with a minimum crew of 3 on every event, and a 4-hour minimum booking.
Attendants × hours × $50 = your price
That $50 is the hourly rate per attendant. It does not change with the city, the day of the week or the type of event.
Your eventEstimated carsAttendantsHoursPrice
50 guests~253 (minimum crew)4$600
100 guests~5045$1,000
150 guests~7556$1,500
200 guests~10076$2,100
300 guests~150107$3,500

Change the hours and the price moves in a straight line. A 150-guest event at 5 hours instead of 6 is $1,250, not $1,500. There is no package to fit into and no tier to jump.

What is in the price, and what is not

What moves the price up
Only three things: more guests, more hours, and a long run between the drop-off point and where the cars park. A hillside street, a gated community or an off-site lot means we add attendants so the wait stays short. The $50 hourly rate never changes — the crew size does.
Who pays
Usually the host, billed as one line on the event invoice. We can also run it guest-paid at a flat rate per car if you prefer — that is decided at booking, never on the day of the event.
Minimum booking
Four hours and a crew of three, on every event. A two-hour cocktail party is still booked and billed as four hours with three attendants, which is $600. We staff and travel to a job the same way whether it runs two hours or four, so the minimum is where it is — and we would rather you read it here than hear it on the phone.
Deposit and payment
A 50% deposit reserves your date. The balance is due on the day of the event. There is no charge to have us walk the address and write the quote.
If the event runs long
Overtime is billed at 35% above the regular rate — $67.50 per attendant per hour — and that number is printed on your quote before you sign it. You will never see a figure on the final invoice that you have not already agreed to.
Included in the price
Uniformed and individually screened attendants, $2M+ general liability and garage keepers insurance, certificates of insurance issued to your venue within one business day, signage and cones, and event-day coordination.
Not included
Some cities require a valet permit for the event. Where one is required we prepare and file the paperwork at no charge, and the city’s own fee is passed through at cost, itemized on your quote before you book. Which cities require one →
Never added later
No travel surcharge anywhere in the 26 cities we serve, no fuel charge, and no per-car fee on top of the event rate.

Why we publish this at all

Because the alternative wastes your time and ours. “Call for pricing” means you spend an afternoon collecting three quotes you cannot compare, and we spend it quoting events that were never in our range. If the arithmetic above puts your event above what you had budgeted, you have saved yourself a phone call. If it lands where you expected, you already know what the written quote is going to say before it arrives.

The one thing a page cannot do is look at your driveway. A single-lane entrance, a ceremony that puts 150 cars in a twenty-minute window, or a lot four blocks away all change the crew size — and the crew size is the only thing that changes. We walk the address first, at no charge, and put the whole calculation in writing within 24 hours.

Straight Answers

Valet parking cost — frequently asked

How much does valet parking cost in Los Angeles?
Full-service event valet in Greater Los Angeles runs $600 to $3,500 for the whole event, not per car and not per guest. A 50-guest party with 4 hours of service and 3 uniformed attendants starts at $600. A 300-guest wedding running 7 hours with 10 attendants is about $3,500. The price is calculated as attendants multiplied by hours multiplied by $50. Every booking has a 4-hour minimum and a 3-attendant minimum crew, so $600 is the lowest price for any event.
How many valet attendants does my event need?
Expect about one car for every two guests, then one attendant for every 15 cars, with a minimum crew of 3 attendants on every event. A 50-guest party is about 25 cars, which the 3-attendant minimum covers. A 150-guest event is about 75 cars, which is 5 attendants. A 300-guest event is about 150 cars, which is 10 attendants. On sites with a long run between drop-off and parking, A&A Parking Services adds attendants rather than adding a surcharge.
What happens if my event runs past the booked hours?
Overtime is billed at 35% above the regular hourly rate, which is $67.50 per attendant per hour. The overtime rate is printed on the written quote before the client signs, so no figure appears on the final invoice that was not agreed in advance.
Who pays for valet parking at a private event, the host or the guests?
Usually the host, billed as a single line on the event invoice. A&A Parking Services can also run guest-paid valet at a flat rate per car if the host prefers; this is decided at booking, not on the day of the event.
What is included in the valet parking price, and what is not?
Included: uniformed and individually screened attendants, $2M+ general liability and garage keepers insurance, certificates of insurance issued to the venue within one business day, signage and cones, and event-day coordination. Not included: a few cities require a special valet permit for the event, which A&A Parking Services obtains and quotes separately at cost before booking. Never added later: no travel surcharge anywhere in the 26 cities served, no fuel charge, and no per-car fee on top of the event rate.
Is a deposit required to book valet parking?
Yes. A 50% deposit reserves the date and the balance is due on the day of the event. There is no charge for A&A Parking Services to walk the address and write the quote.
