Positioned in the neighbourhood of Queens, 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan, JFK Airport offers nonstop or direct flights to destinations across the world. It currently costs up to $42 per day to park at JFK, and long term parkers will have to pay up to $294 per week. However, by booking away from the airport, you can find some great discount parking deals that save you between 40% and 60%. We’ve picked out 3 of the best off-airport options for short or long term parking near JFK Airport.
ARB Parking
Situated just over two miles from JFK Airport, this parking facility is a great choice if you prefer the convenience of handing your car straight to valet staff to park it for you as soon as you arrive. This service is available for parking rates starting at $20.75 per day. There’s also a free shuttle service that runs to and from the airport’s terminal 1, terminal 2, terminal 3, terminal 4 and terminal 5 every 10-15 minutes . The facility is open 24/7 and you have up until the minute your reservation begins to cancel and still claim for a full refund.
iPark Garage
Many vehicle owners prefer to keep their car covered and away from the elements and this garage offers just that opportunity. For rates of $9.75 a day, you also get valet parking services. The only downside is that the facility is almost 4 miles away from the airport – the furthest of our three recommendations – and there’s no shuttle service, meaning you’ll need to rely on a taxi. There’s on-site staff and, as with our previous listing, you can get your money back if you cancel before your reservation begins.
PARK AC JFK Airport Parking
Our final tip is the closest to the airport on our list, positioned under a mile away. Open 24/7, if offers outdoor valet parking for rates starting at $12.45 per day. A complimentary shuttle service runs to and from the airport all day, every day, with departures every 5-10 minutes. Other on-site amenities include camera surveillance and a 24-hour lot attendant.
