JFK Long Term Parking: Compare Rates from About $13 to $82/Day

Quick answer

On-airport, the long-term lot costs $45/day drive-up (as low as $35/day prebooked on the airport's site), and the terminal lots top out at $70 to $82/day. Off-site lots on Triply run about $13 to $32/day, and all eight run a 24/7 shuttle. For a 7-day trip, PARK AC costs about $88 before tax, versus $245 to $315 at the airport's long-term lot. Off-site rates in this guide are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. Choice depends on budget, trip length, and convenience priority.

JFK long term parking garage options range from the airport's own lots, at $45/day drive-up for the long-term lot and $70 to $82/day at the terminal lots, to off-site lots on Triply from about $13/day. The terminal lots sit steps from your terminal. Off-site lots run their own 24/7 shuttles, and the airport's long-term lot connects to the terminals by AirTrain, with no fare charged on that ride. Airport lots are booked on the airport's own site. The right choice depends on your terminal, budget, and trip length.

• On-airport, the long-term lot costs $45 per 24 hours drive-up (as low as $35/day prebooked on the airport's site), and the terminal lots top out at $70 (Red), $75 (Yellow) and $82 (Blue) per day.
• Off-site lots Triply sells run about $13 to $32/day, and each runs a 24/7 shuttle.
• The airport's long-term lot is the on-airport budget option, with an AirTrain ride to the terminals that isn't charged.
• Prebooking on the airport's site lowers the Red Lot from $70/day to as low as $56/day.
• JFK's $19 billion redevelopment is causing traffic delays in 2026, so arrive at least 3 hours early.
• Safe Park (about $32/day) is only about 9% below the long-term lot's $35 prebook rate, so it is the one off-site lot that isn't a big saving.

What Is JFK Long Term Parking and How Does It Work?

Long term parking at JFK means leaving your car for more than a day — typically for a trip or vacation. John F. Kennedy International Airport offers two main types: on-airport garages managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and off-site private lots located near the airport.

On-airport lots sit close to your terminal. You park, grab your bags, and walk or take the AirTrain to your gate. Off-site lots are a few minutes away by road. You pull in, hand over your keys (most are valet), and hop on the lot's 24/7 shuttle. Both work well for long trips. The right choice depends on your budget and how much walking you want to do.

On-Site vs. Off-Site: Key Differences

• On-site lots: Steps from the terminal, higher daily rates
• Off-site lots: A short drive away, a 24/7 shuttle, significantly lower daily rates
• AirTrain access: Rides from the airport's long-term lot to the terminals aren't charged, and the $8.75 AirTrain fare applies only at Jamaica and Howard Beach stations; off-site lots run their own shuttles instead
• Security: Both types offer gated, surveilled facilities; quality varies by operator
• Booking: Airport lots are booked on the airport's site, off-site lots on Triply, and pre-booking is recommended for both

How Much Does Long Term Parking at JFK Airport Cost?

Rates vary widely depending on where you park. On-airport lots charge from $6 for the first half hour, up to a daily maximum. Off-site lots charge a flat daily rate. Pre-booking on the airport's site (at least 3 hours ahead) lowers the airport rates by $10 to $16 a day, and those prebook figures are "as low as" prices. According to JFK's official parking page, on-airport rates are structured as follows (checked October 2026):

On a 7-day trip, the Red Lot costs $490 at the drive-up maximum ($392 at the lowest prebook rate), and the airport's long-term lot costs $315 drive-up ($245 as low as prebooked). PARK AC at about $13/day costs about $88 total before tax, which is $157 to $227 less than the long-term lot and about $300 less than the Red Lot's prebook price. Most of the PARK AC price is paid at the lot. Compare all JFK long term parking rates on TriplyPro to find the lowest price for your dates.

What About Hidden Fees?

Many travelers miss taxes and fees. Every JFK lot on Triply adds NY tax at checkout, and a 7-night stay is billed as 8 days, so your total runs higher than the daily rate times seven. Four lots (PARK AC, ARB, Purchase Park 2 Fly and Bolt) collect most of the price at the lot. Always check the total at checkout, not just the advertised daily rate.

On-Site JFK Parking Garage vs. Off-Site Lots: Which Is Better?

For most long-term travelers, off-site lots offer better value, with one exception: Safe Park at about $32/day is only about 9% below the airport long-term lot's $35 prebook rate. The other seven off-site lots run about 38% to 64% less than that prebook rate and about 52% to 72% less than the $45 drive-up rate. Each runs a 24/7 shuttle. On-site lots make sense if you want to skip the shuttle or park right by your terminal.

• Choose on-site if: You want to park by your terminal or convenience is worth the premium
• Choose off-site if: You're on a budget, your trip is 3+ days, or you want valet without walking a garage (PARK AC is the one self-park lot)
• Check shuttle details: All eight off-site lots run 24/7, but frequency ranges from every 5 to 10 minutes (A1 JFK Park) to every 45 minutes (Safe Park), and DoubleTree and Hampton Inn return pickups are at Federal Circle
• Check minimum stays: Hampton Inn and Purchase Park 2 Fly have a 2-day minimum, and Bolt has a 6-day minimum
• Know the AirTrain fare: It is $8.75 and is charged only at Jamaica and Howard Beach stations; rides from the airport's long-term lot to the terminals aren't charged

For travelers flying Delta from Terminal 4, the Blue Lot is the most convenient on-site option. American Airlines passengers at Terminal 8 benefit most from the Red Lot. For JetBlue travelers at Terminal 5, the Yellow Lot is the on-airport option.

How Do You Get from JFK Long Term Parking to Your Terminal?

Getting to your terminal depends on where you park. On-site lots are a short walk from your terminal. The airport's long-term lot connects via AirTrain JFK, and rides between that lot and the terminals aren't charged. Off-site lots run their own 24/7 shuttles, free at PARK AC, DoubleTree, Hampton Inn and A1 JFK Park. Check the official AirTrain page for current schedules and connection details.

Getting from On-Site Garages

• Yellow Lot (Terminal 5): Walk to Terminal 5, or take the AirTrain to other terminals
• Blue Lot (Terminal 4): Walk directly into Terminal 4
• Red Lot (Terminal 8): Walk directly into Terminal 8; the airport also recommends it for Terminal 1
• Long term parking lot: Take the AirTrain to the terminals; rides from this lot aren't charged

Getting from Off-Site Lots

All eight off-site lots Triply sells run a shuttle 24/7, from every 5 to 10 minutes (A1 JFK Park) to every 45 minutes (Safe Park). PARK AC runs every 10 minutes and ARB Parking every 10 to 15 minutes. Free shuttles are stated for PARK AC, DoubleTree, Hampton Inn and A1 JFK Park. On your return, ARB, DoubleTree, Hampton Inn, Purchase Park 2 Fly, Bolt and A1 ask you to call for pickup, and DoubleTree and Hampton Inn pick up at the Federal Circle AirTrain station. Save the number in your phone before you leave.

Tips for Saving Money on JFK Airport Long Term Parking

Smart planning can lower your parking costs. These strategies are based on rates checked in October 2026.

• Book ahead: Airport prebook rates (at least 3 hours ahead on the airport's site) run $10 to $16/day below drive-up, for example the Red Lot from $70 to as low as $56
• Check the full price: Triply shows it before checkout, and codes from other booking sites apply only on those sites
• Choose off-site valet: ARB Parking at about $17/day is about 76% less than the Red Lot's $70/day maximum and includes valet and a 24/7 shuttle
• Know the AirTrain fare: It is $8.75 and charged only at Jamaica and Howard Beach stations; rides from the airport's long-term lot to the terminals aren't charged
• Avoid holiday peak weeks: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Fourth of July bring higher demand and fewer available spots
• Plan for 2026 construction delays: JFK's $19 billion redevelopment program is causing roadway delays; leave extra time and check real-time traffic on Waze before you depart
• Compare all options in one place: Off-site rates run from about $13 to $32/day, so always compare before booking
