    Pros:
    SMS Valet is easy to use no matter your technologically capacity. It has simplified and made our operations so much more efficient. It has everything you would need in the valet industry. They offer any report you would need that you can customize as well.
    Cons:
    The only con would be not being able to set up new locations by yourself. Although there customer service and employees are always available to help you last minute.

    Pros:
    The program's user-friendliness. I appreciate being able to customize the software to our team's specific needs. We enjoy offering our customers the option to notify us ahead of time that they are ready to depart. It really helps us run the operation more efficiently. It's simple to learn and utilize. The reporting features are extensive and meet our requirements.
    Cons:
    If there's one thing that's missing, it's the absence of an iOS app. I'm aware that Apple's retail royalties aren't entirely equitable. Traditional paper tickets are more expensive. Without additional employees, it's difficult to use in high-volume settings. Not recommended for accounts with a high volume of transactions. Managing the system necessitates more personnel and labor.

    Pros:
    It was easy to drop my vehicle off at the airport to catch my flight. The texting option was nice as well.
    Cons:
    Pickup was terrible. Called customer service as I wasn't given an option to request ahead of time and their response was on the website, you have to hit cancel in order to request a time to get your vehicle if you cannot put in returning flight. Took long time and others were put in front of me.

    Pros:
    This is a premium product that our guest love at all of our locations. It captures more data to back the revenue than any other product. SMS is extremely easy and allows us to give our clients a better experience by providing a fast and secure way to pay for request their car.
    Cons:
    If there was one thing missing it would definitely be the lack of the iOS app. I know the Apple store royalties are not completely fair. But 99% of our employees have an iPhone and it would help if they could use the app on their personal devices.

    Vendor Response

    Thanks for the review, Austin! We're glad to partner with National Parking. Your feedback is always welcome. We have some good news - we do have an iOS app for the valet staff. If you search "Valet Runner" in the app store, you'll find it. We'll have your account rep reach out to help with details and any questions.

    For myself and our team SMS Valet has been a game changer! We are starting year 5 of using the service and I don't want to even think about running The Valet without the software. It has given us an opportunity in The Great North West to separate ourselves from other Valet companies.

    When the system gets overloaded and it slows things down for us in the car check in process. This happens few and far between. The company does a good job of alerting you when there is a issue.

    The best valet software

    5

    I've been very happy with the product and the team standing behind it. I've called support before and was greeted by the CEO. I havent met many CEOs willing to take support calls on a day off. Thats just the culture there. Everyone chips in and they get things done. I'm grateful for the edge they have given my business and the friendships I've made in the process.
