The hotel parking valet put a nasty dent in my Aston Martin and I want to know who I should hold liable for the damage - the parking valet or the hotel?

Greetings,

Because parking cars is a parking valet's regular job responsibility, liability for damages to parked cars should be covered by the hotel or their public liability insurance provider. It is important that you report the damages to hotel staff immediately (before moving the car) and have them provide you with a written statement confirming their fault so that you can prove your case after leaving the hotel.

Best regards from Moneyguru
