These lots have limited or no public access. Also, the vehicles in such a space are parked more tightly. In this manner, more cars can be parked in a limited space. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">Who is responsible if the car is damaged during valet parking? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Legally, if the car is damaged after the valet takes bailment (temporary transfer of the car to the parking service without changing the ownership), it will be their responsibility to a certain extent. You couldn\u2019t possibly hold them for theft or damage due to a natural disaster.
