I wonder what type of insurance policies the upper end hotels, members clubs and night clubs (where valet service for higher end vehicles would most likely occur) have. Reason being that while I would expect valets that are trusted with vehicles possessing the confluence of high horsepower and torque would be well trained drivers, it is still too easy for some to step on the accelerator just a bit too heavily and the torque dump gets them spinning.

The higher end AMG benzes, for instance, have quite a lot of torque, not to mention the high strung Ferraris, Paganis and Lamborghinis that may frequent such hotels/clubs. Smashing up a Pagani Zonda Cinque would be something that would be quite ...well ...expensive. It is too easy for a valet who is used to parking Corvettes to think the same rules apply to some of the higher-strung exotics, and that underestimation that because he can handle a C6 Corvette he can handle a real super car, mixed with the young age of the valet (and the thrill of being behind the wheel of a Lamborgini Reventon or Bugatti Veyron), can easily lead to a crash that costs US$2 million Dollars (easily for any of those two cars).

Thus I wonder what insurance some of these hotels/clubs have, especially if the accident is due to the valet playing the fool.

'easily for any of those two cars' should have been 'easily for any of those three cars' (being the Pagani Zonda Cinque, Bugatti Veyron, and Lamborghini Reventon)
