Class code 8392 — Parking Lot, Garage & Valet Service

Parking lot, storage garage and valet parking operations, including attendants, cashiers and lot shuttle drivers.

8392 is the classification for operating a parking lot, parking station or storage garage, including valet parking services. Its scope picks up the attendants who park and retrieve cars, the cashiers and counter staff in the booth, and the drivers who run shuttles between a lot and a terminal or front door.

For lodging, 8392 shows up when parking is its own business rather than a guest amenity: a park-and-fly lot near an airport hotel, a public garage the hotel owns and operates for paying customers, or a separate valet company. Valet attendants employed by the hotel for its own guests are generally reported with the hotel, while an outside valet contractor carries its own policy under this kind of classification.

Injuries in this class come from moving vehicles, running between cars, slips on ramps and in weather, and the occasional confrontation at a cashier booth. A garage that also repairs vehicles at the same location can be classified differently, so mixed operations should be described carefully.

What code 8392 typically includes

  • Valet attendants and parking-lot attendants
  • Garage cashiers and counter personnel
  • Lot shuttle drivers between parking and terminals or entrances
  • Garage and lot supervisors working on site

What this code means for your premium

Parking and valet operations sit in the moderate range; vehicle-movement injuries and the number of cars handled per shift drive frequency more than anything else.
