Paper vs digital valet tickets: cost and risk compared

The hidden costs of paper claim tickets and how digital tickets reduce mix-ups, liability and wait times.

Last updated: 2026-09-01

The cost of paper

  • Ticket books must be bought, stored and reordered.
  • Lost stubs cause disputes and slow hand-backs while identity is checked.
  • No record of when a car was requested or how long the guest waited.

What digital adds

  • Every car has a timestamped history: parked, requested, ready, delivered.
  • Unguessable ticket links instead of a stub anyone could pick up.
  • Exportable history for disputes, payroll and insurance.

What it costs

Legacy enterprise valet systems often charge $150–$300 per month plus setup. ipark.today starts at $19 per event or $29 per month with no setup fee or contract.
