VALET KEY- How and when do you use it?

86,135

Asked by Mark Sep 26, 2015 at 10:46 PM about the 2010 Subaru Outback

Question type: General

Who wants to carry this extra key around with you or would you just as well stash this in the glove box of your car?  Doesn't sound like a good idea to do that?   So,  how do you carry and use the valet key effectively?   So,  I mainly just leave this at home.   Any ideas.

A valet key is different from the master key in that it cannot open the glovebox or the trunk. I guess when someone else is using your car and you don't want them to have access to those two places, you would give them the valet key.
