JFK Parking? Are You Serious?
JFK Airport is one of the busiest in the country, particularly for international travel. JFK parking can be stressful if you do not plan ahead. However f you know your options and pre-book your parking, JFK parking can be a joy (well maybe not a living nightmare at least).
[Here is a quick tip: some of the airport hotels will provide free or discounted parking if you stay at the hotel the night before your flight. Sometimes you can stay and park for the same price you would pay just to park at one of the JFK airport lots.]
Short-Term Parking. The short-term lots are designed for people that need to leave their car for awhile to assist passengers with their tickets or baggage or if you need to help someone get to the gate. The lots are relatively expensive( $3 per half hour/$33 per day).
Long-Term-Parking. The prices for the long-term lots are $18 per day. JFK airport has several long-term lots that offer shuttle service between the lots and the terminal. The shuttles are clean and run often. The ride is relatively short, (most lots are less than 4 miles from the airport) but you must make allowances for the transportation time.
JFK parking spaces can be reserved by pre-booking online. There are several companies that are able to quickly search for available spaces and lots at the time you intend to travel. Pre-booking not only allows you to avoid the headache of finding a space the day of travel but pre-booking also saves money.
