Valet, an Android app offered by Bull Moose, is an elegant and useful application that earned a lot of praise from the media. From an elegant interface, it will help you locate your parked car and it will protect against parking tickets.

Here is the scenario I had in mind. You’re late for a business meeting, so you rush to your car and speed of. When you get to the meeting place, you quickly park your car and go meet your business partner. Everything goes well and now you have to get back to your car. But you were in such a rush when got here that you can’t remember where you parked your car. And now you’re aimlessly walking around trying hard to locate it.

Such an annoying situation can be avoided by using the elegant Valet app for Android. This app remembers where you parked your car and provides turn-by-turn instructions so that you can quickly get back to your parked car. When you exit your vehicle, just tap on a button and the app will drop a pin on your current location – this way it remembers the parked car’s location and can guide you back to it. Or better yet, if you have a Bluetooth audio system, pair it to your phone and enable Auto Parking. This way, the app can automatically detect when you leave your car and automatically store its location.

Here is another scenario I had in mind. This time you’re just in time for a meeting. You park your car, feed the meter, and go meet your business partner. But you get so caught up in the discussion that you forget about the meter – it expires and you get a ticket. Valet can help with this situation as well. The app comes with a built-in parking timer that will warn you when your meter is about to expire and thus save you from getting a parking ticket.

As mentioned throughout this article, the Valet app is ideally suite for cars. The thing is that the app works brilliantly with bikes, motorcycles, camping spots, hotels, and any other location you want to return to later. With a tap on “park my car” you can mark any location you want and then easily return to it.

Valet is available for download in the Play Store here.
