Don't be afraid to ask. The valet will be honest - it may be that they give that $10 fee to the establishment, or just part of it. While some people are taken aback, when I worked for tips I always appreciated someone asking, "What would a good tip be?" I'd explain about the 15% "standard". In the valet situation, I would have asked, "Who gets the $10? Should I tip, as well?" It probably varies from place to place.
