Newark Airport Long-Term Parking Rates & Options Guide

Newark airport parking fees are the daily, hourly, and weekly rates charged by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at Newark Liberty International Airport's on-airport lots (P1, P2, P3, P4, and P6), plus the rates at private off-site lots, which run from about $11 to $20 per day with a shuttle. Rates vary widely depending on which lot you choose, how long you stay, and whether you pre-book online. This article is a deep dive on pricing. For a full overview of all parking options at EWR, start with the Complete EWR Airport Parking Guide.

• On-airport daily maximums range from $35/day (P6 drive-up) to $70/day (P2 and P3), per the Port Authority.
• Pre-booking P6 drops the rate to $21/day, a savings of around 28% vs the drive-up price.
• P4 Daily Garage costs $60/day drive-up, or roughly $38/day pre-booked, saving about 36%.
• Triply lots near EWR start at about $11/day with a free 24/7 shuttle (Apex Airport Parking). Triply rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.
• P1, P2, and P3 charge $5.25 per 30 minutes for the first three hours, then $10.50 per 30 minutes after that.
• Pre-booking is the single biggest lever on the official lots, saving 28% to 36%.

What Are the Current Newark Airport Parking Rates?

The Port Authority operates five paid parking areas at EWR (verified April 2026). Each lot serves a different traveler need — short-term pickups, daily commuters, and long-stay travelers all have a dedicated option. Here's the full picture. For a complete breakdown of what every lot charges, see our guide to Newark Airport parking rates for 2026.

On-Airport Parking Rate Summary

• P1 (Terminal A): $5.25/30 min (first 3 hrs), then $10.50/30 min. Daily max: $65.
• P2 (Terminal B): $5.25/30 min (first 3 hrs), then $10.50/30 min. Daily max: $70.
• P3 (Terminal C): $5.25/30 min (first 3 hrs), then $10.50/30 min. Daily max: $70.
• P4 Daily Garage: $4.25/30 min (first 3 hrs), then $8.50/30 min. Daily max: $60. Pre-book: ~$38/day.
• P6 Economy Lot: $35 for the first 24 hours, then $17.50 per 12-hour period. Pre-book: $21/day.
• Cell Phone Lot: Free. No time limit stated, but intended for active passenger pickups only.

These rates are set by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and apply to all vehicles regardless of size (with some exceptions for oversized vehicles — check directly with the official EWR parking page). Always confirm current rates before traveling, as the Port Authority can update pricing. For a state-level perspective on what to expect, see our Newark New Jersey airport parking rates guide.

Short-Term and Hourly Parking Rates at Newark Airport

P1, P2, and P3 are EWR's short-term lots — they're built for quick trips like curbside pickups, short waits, and drop-offs that run slightly long. The hourly structure is the same across all three. For a dedicated breakdown of short-term pricing, see our Newark Airport short-term parking rates guide.

How the Hourly Rate Works

The rate starts at $5.25 per 30 minutes for the first three hours. After the three-hour mark, the rate jumps to $10.50 per 30 minutes. That's a significant jump — if you go even a few minutes past three hours, you move into a much higher billing tier. Keep an eye on your time. The daily caps help protect you if you end up staying all day, but the hourly rates are steep for anything under that cap.

Here's what a typical short stay costs in P1, P2, or P3:

• 30 minutes: $5.25
• 1 hour: $10.50
• 2 hours: $21.00
• 3 hours: $31.50
• Full day (daily cap): $65 (P1) or $70 (P2/P3)

If you're picking someone up and expect the wait to go under 30 minutes, the Cell Phone Lot is always free. That's the smarter call for most meetups. If your party is running late and you want to stay closer to the terminal, the short-term lot is your only on-airport option — just watch the clock. For daily rate details on what each lot charges per 24-hour period, see our Newark Airport parking cost per day guide.

Long-Term and Economy Parking Rates at EWR

P6 Economy Lot is Newark Airport's official budget option for multi-day travelers. It offers the lowest daily rate of any on-airport lot, with additional savings available through advance booking. For a dedicated look at P6 pricing, see our Newark Airport economy parking rates guide.

The drive-up rate is $35 for the first 24 hours, then $17.50 per additional 12-hour period. Pre-book online and the daily rate drops to $21/day — a saving of around 28% compared to just showing up. For a 7-day trip, that's a difference of $98 pre-booked vs $245 drive-up (at the 24-hour rate cap). Pre-booking P6 is one of the most straightforward ways to cut your parking costs without leaving the airport property. For a full look at what EWR long-term parking costs across all options, see our EWR long-term parking cost guide.

For travelers staying five or more days, off-site lots like Apex Airport Parking (about $11/day) and Maas Parking Newark (about $12/day) come in under the $21/day pre-booked P6 rate quoted above, and both include a free 24/7 shuttle. Our guide to Newark Airport long-term parking breaks down the extended-stay options in more detail.

P4 vs P6: How Do EWR's Best Value Lots Compare?

P4 Daily Garage and P6 Economy Lot are the two lots most travelers should compare for stays of one day or more. They have different rate structures, locations, and connections to the terminals.

P4 connects to all terminals via the AirTrain Newark monorail at no extra charge within the airport. Note for 2026: The AirTrain is undergoing a major replacement project. Weekday suspensions run 5 AM to 3 PM throughout 2026, with free shuttle buses replacing the service during those windows. Allow extra time if traveling on a weekday. The Port Authority tracks all disruptions at the AirTrain replacement project page.

P6 uses a dedicated shuttle that runs every 5–10 minutes, 24/7. It's not affected by AirTrain construction. For budget-focused travelers, P6 pre-booked at $21/day is the most affordable on-airport option by a significant margin. For a full breakdown of P6 pricing and what to expect, see our EWR P6 parking rates guide.

Parking Rates by Terminal: P1, P2, and P3 Explained

EWR's three short-term lots each serve a specific terminal. Your terminal assignment depends on which airline you're flying.

• P1 (Terminal A): Serves Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, and United Airlines (domestic Terminal A flights). Daily max: $65.
• P2 (Terminal B): Serves all international carriers including Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and many others. Daily max: $70.
• P3 (Terminal C): Exclusively serves United Airlines, which operates all of Terminal C. Daily max: $70. For a full breakdown of Terminal C parking options and rates, see our Newark Airport parking rates Terminal C guide.

P2 and P3 carry a $5 higher daily cap than P1. For most travelers using the short-term lots for a quick pickup, the difference is negligible — you won't hit the daily cap on a one-hour visit. But if you're parking for a full day near your terminal and considering P1 vs P3, the $5/day difference adds up on longer trips.

Which Terminal Lot Should You Use?

For most multi-day trips, the terminal-adjacent lots (P1, P2, P3) are not the right choice — they're expensive for extended stays. Use them when you need to be close to a specific terminal for a short visit. For anything longer than a day, P4 or P6 will save you significantly. You can also review our Newark Airport daily parking P4 guide for detailed P4 rates, AirTrain access, and tips.

Newark Airport Parking Garage Rates (P4)

P4 Daily Garage is EWR's only covered parking structure. The covered design protects your car from weather, which matters for winter trips or extended stays. It's the preferred on-airport option for travelers who want covered parking without paying the full terminal-lot prices. For a dedicated look at all EWR garage pricing, see our Newark Airport parking garage rates guide.

The hourly rate at P4 is $4.25 per 30 minutes for the first three hours — slightly cheaper than P1/P2/P3. After three hours, it rises to $8.50 per 30 minutes. The daily maximum is $60. Pre-book online and you'll pay roughly $38/day, saving about $22 per day compared to the drive-up cap. For a 3-day trip, that's roughly $66 in savings just by booking ahead.

P4 also has EV charging stations available within the garage — one of the few on-airport lots at EWR with this feature. If you drive an electric vehicle, P4 is your best on-airport option. You can check charger availability and network details via ChargeHub's P4 listing.

Full Price Comparison: All EWR Parking Options Side by Side

This table covers the on-airport options and the lots Triply sells near Newark Airport, sorted by daily rate. On-airport lots are booked with the Port Authority, not Triply. Triply lot rates add NJ tax at checkout, and some lots collect part of the price at the lot. For a full per-day cost breakdown across every lot, see our Newark Airport parking per day guide.

Off-site lots cost far less per day than the terminal lots. Apex Airport Parking is about $11/day with a free 24/7 shuttle, while P2 and P3 cap at $70/day. Seven days at Apex comes to about $79, and the real checkout with NJ tax is $104.12. Among the lots with a shuttle, rates run from about $11/day at Apex to about $20/day at Snap Parking, an indoor garage. Some lots add vehicle surcharges or collect part of the price at the lot, so read each lot's details before you book.

How to Get the Lowest Newark Airport Parking Rate

The biggest savings at EWR come from two things: choosing the right lot and booking ahead. Here's what consistently works.

1. Pre-book online. Pre-booking P6 saves 28%. Pre-booking P4 saves 36%. Triply lots are priced for a stay booked ahead.
2. Use a comparison tool. Triply's EWR parking search lets you compare the lots Triply sells near Newark, with shuttle details for each, so you're not manually checking each provider.
3. Compare real checkout totals. Taxes and lot fees change the final bill: among the lots with a shuttle, a seven-night stay runs from $103.13 at Motel 6 Newark Airport and $104.12 at Apex Airport Parking to $192.69 at Snap Parking, including NJ tax.
4. Book early for peak travel periods. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer school breaks see availability drop fast. Book at least 2-3 weeks out during peak periods.
5. Skip the terminal lots for multi-day trips. P1, P2, and P3 are priced for convenience, not long stays. Even one day at $70 (P3) costs more than three days at Apex Airport Parking (about $34 total).
6. Check for free cancellation. Bookings on Triply come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so you can lock in a spot early.

Before driving to the airport, check real-time traffic on Waze. EWR sits near the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95, Exit 14) and I-78 — two of the busiest corridors in the region. Extra travel time on the road can force you into a more expensive short-term lot if you cut it close on arrival. For a full look at Newark Airport daily parking rates across all lots, see our Newark Airport daily parking rates guide.

Booking in Advance vs Paying at the Gate: What's the Difference?

Paying at the gate means driving in, taking a ticket, and paying on exit — either at an automated kiosk or a staffed booth. The rates you pay are the published drive-up maximums. There's no discount applied, and no guarantee of availability during busy periods.

Pre-booking through the Port Authority's official parking reservation portal or through a third-party platform secures your spot and unlocks the lower rate. P4's pre-book rate of ~$38/day vs $60/day drive-up is a real and meaningful difference — not a gimmick. The process is simple: enter your dates, pay online, and you receive a confirmation. At the lot, you scan or enter a code on exit instead of paying the standard rate. For a detailed look at what long-term parking fees amount to across all options, see our EWR long-term parking fee breakdown.

Off-site lots are worth booking ahead too. During peak travel dates, availability may simply not exist. For high-traffic periods, the Port Authority recommends pre-booking, and so do travelers who've been caught without a spot on a holiday weekend.

What Does a Week of Newark Airport Parking Actually Cost?

Weekly parking costs at EWR add up fast if you're in the wrong lot. Here's what a standard 7-day trip costs across the main options, based on current verified daily rates. For a dedicated guide to weekly stays, see our full Newark Airport weekly parking guide.

• Apex Airport Parking: about $79 for 7 days (about $11/day)
• Maas Parking Newark: about $81 for 7 days (about $12/day)
• Motel 6 Newark Airport: about $82 for 7 days (about $12/day)
• ARB Parking Newark: about $87 for 7 days (about $12/day)
• Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel: about $94 for 7 days (about $13/day)
• Hilton Newark Airport Parking: about $100 for 7 days (about $14/day)
• Snap Parking: about $143 for 7 days (about $20/day)
• P6 Economy Lot (pre-booked): $21 × 7 = $147.00
• P6 Economy Lot (drive-up): $35 × 7 = $245.00
• P4 Daily Garage (pre-booked): ~$38 × 7 = ~$266.00
• P3 (Terminal C): $70 × 7 = $490.00

The spread for a week is wide. Apex Airport Parking runs about $79 for seven days, against $490 at P3 for the same period, so the same trip can produce a very different bill. Among the lots with a shuttle, real checkouts for a seven-night stay, including NJ tax, run from $103.13 at Motel 6 Newark Airport and $104.12 at Apex to $192.69 at Snap Parking. For travelers flying out of Terminal C on United Airlines, a short shuttle ride to an off-site lot means a much lower weekly bill. For a complete look at what P3 and all Terminal C parking options cost, see our Newark Airport parking rates Terminal C guide. For a full cost-per-day breakdown on long-term stays, see our EWR long-term parking cost per day guide.

Our Newark Airport long-term parking guide goes even deeper on extended-stay strategies for longer trips.

Is There a Cheaper Way to Park at Newark Airport?

Yes. Off-site lots on Triply run about $11 to $20/day with a shuttle, compared with the $65 to $70/day caps at the terminal lots above. The tradeoff is a shuttle ride instead of walking directly to your terminal, which for most multi-day trips is a fair trade. For a complete look at long-term rates across all EWR lots, see our Newark Airport long-term parking rates guide and the companion EWR long-term parking rates breakdown.

Shuttle service varies by lot, so check each one. Apex Airport Parking (valet, leave your keys) runs a free 24/7 shuttle every 10 minutes, ARB Parking Newark every 10-15 minutes, Maas Parking Newark every 15 minutes, and Hilton Newark Airport Parking runs a free 24-hour shuttle every 20 minutes with live tracking at trackmyshuttle.com. Motel 6 Newark Airport runs a complimentary 24-hour shuttle every 15 minutes, with return pickups on demand (call 908-527-1300). Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel runs every 15 minutes from 4 AM to midnight and every 30 minutes overnight. Red Carpet Inn in Irvington, the lowest-priced lot at about $5/day, has no shuttle: you take Uber or Lyft both ways. For a full guide to P6 rates specifically, see our Newark Airport parking rates P6 guide and the companion Newark Airport P6 parking rates guide.

One often-overlooked cost factor: traveling to EWR by NJ Transit rail requires paying an AirTrain access fee per person to connect from the train station to the terminals. If you drive to an off-site lot that has its own airport shuttle, you skip that fee, which adds to the value of the lower daily rates. For a full rate guide covering all long-term parking prices at EWR, see our EWR long-term parking price guide and our overview of Newark Airport long-term parking rates.
