Once inhabited by the Tataviam and Tongva Indian tribes, the San Fernando Valley is now an urbanized valley in the north-western part of Los Angeles. Surrounded by mountains and hills, the 345-acre valley is home to almost two million people. If the population weren't enough, then the layout of the area, a much more loosely packed area than New York, for example, would be good reason for each establishment to offer a valet parking service for patrons.
In the wealthier areas of the San Fernando Valley, a valet parking service is considered a requirement. Affluent residents are used to such amenities even when there isn't a present need for one. But some residents of the San Fernando Valley live below the poverty level, and in those areas, though parking is still difficult to find, a Los Angeles valet parking service doesn't seem like a necessary service for businesses to offer.
Part of the San Fernando Valley actually lies within Los Angeles so there's a great deal of travel between the two areas. Los Angeles' layout basically dictates the need for a valet parking service, so businesses offering this convenient service can be found anywhere and everywhere in the overlapping part of the Valley.
Within the San Fernando Valley, though, not just restaurants and hotels offer a valet parking service for patrons. Doctor and dentist offices, professional buildings, hospitals and health clubs also offer valet services, sometimes as complimentary services, and sometimes for a small fee.
Other types of businesses in the Valley offer a valet parking service, as well. Country clubs, as well as strip clubs and gentlemen's clubs like Fourplay and Fantasy Island routinely offer a valet parking service to its members. HBO estimated that 90% of all pornography filmed in the United States is filmed in the San Fernando Valley (giving it the nickname Silicon Valley) so adult clubs are understandably popular in the area, and those that offer a valet parking service adding to their prestige can draw more patrons.
Mainstream studios like CBS Studio Center, The Walt Disney Company, NBC-Universal, ABC, and Warner Bros. call the San Fernando Valley home, so a steady stream of film and television stars comes through the area. Wealthy actors or others in the entertainment business are used to getting the best service, so a valet parking service that can cater to them is a necessary part of any business who desires the patronage of America's stage and screen personalities. This is only one reason that the Valley and the surrounding areas, including greater Los Angeles, have dozens of companies offering the rental of a valet parking service for public and private events.
Geography and the high car-ownership rate simply mean there are too many cars and not enough parking spaces. While New Yorkers walk everywhere in their tightly-packed city, San Fernandans drive to get around their sprawling community. So a San Fernando Valley valet parking service becomes a necessary part of daily life for all but the poorest and most unfortunate residents of the San Fernando Valley area.
