'Valet Anywhere' is an app-based service that allows consumers to avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot in New York City. Similar to services such as Luxe and Zirx, the app allows anyone to access valet services no matter where they may be.
Valet Anywhere is a scheduled valet service, meaning users simply use the app to make a request for when and where they would like to be picked up. A professional valet will then arrive to take their car to a secure location. While their car is out, users have the opportunity to request that their vehicle is washed or refueled before it is returned. When the user needs their car back, they simply use the app to request a pickup. The service is priced similar to a monthly garage fee, making it a viable alternative for commuters who want to avoid the hassle of searching for free parking each morning.
The Valet Anywhere model is ideal for drivers living in dense urban areas such as New York City, where parking is not only expensive, but also difficult to find.
