Is there a number to call for more detailed info re long term parking?
Is there any help available for digging out one's car at the long term parking lot at JFK?
How hard is it to get a car out of long term parking in the snow. Is there assistance for individuals? My husband is flying in soon and does not have snow shovel.
We will be travelling for 23 days this April and are looking into long term secure parking at JFK. I have viewed the off site parking locations and they seem reasonable, approx. $250. I have also read on this site the horror stories, damaged cars, theft, credit card scams etc. and am now not so happy with the off site locations. Can anyone help me with this, I don't mind parking in NJ or CT and taking the train but I still need somewhere to park in those areas. I have checked out the Park and Fly options but most only cover up to 2 weeks. Any suggestions?
we rented a car one way and left it at the airport(for ei avis). that way we didn't have to deal w leaving the car at jfk. we were coming from ct and we spent about $75 for one way. (we had family pick us up on our return flight.)
Why dont you hire a car to take you? I live out east on Long Island and it's $120 each way... You're crazy to leave your car for 23 days - I get nervous when I do it for 3...
Does JFK have cell phone parking lots where people can wait for arrivals to call to let them know they have arrived and are ready to be picked up at the terminal? My son lives in MD, and he says that BWI has them and also some other airports.
Yes , there is a one at JFK. The stay is almost unlimited there. Approaching JFK Airport on Van Wyck south , exit on the ramp that is right after the Federal Circle(after the big clock above the road). Once on the ramp , keep your right till your enter 30th Pl, make right on the second traffic light into the cell phone parking lot.
Google the JFK map - the lot is between Van Wyck Expwy, 30th Pl and Federal Circle. Hope it helps.
Yes JFK does have a cell phone parking lot. when you enter the airport you should see a the posting for the lot.
hey all, I have been reading all the comments about long term parking - what is the safest place to park for a week? I read bad and good things about different lots, but they are from a year ago or so. I read about JFK long term parking and Smartpark???? We will be traveling with 2 little ones and luggage. thanks
I have stayed at all three facilities. The constant was SmartPark JFK was the cheapest and the best service by far. No problems with my car at pickup.
I could not find a complete map of the JFK airport. How long does will it take, to go from terminal 3 to terminal 4?
walking20 min- air tran- 5 min (includes wait time) no waiting = 2 min
Yes - park on Level 2 and then cross the bridge to the terminal, easier than crossing the street at ground level.
SMARTPARK is a parking service near JFK. After reading some of the horror stories about JFK's own long term parking, I tried out Smartpark and found them to be cheaper, safe, and reliable. I was gone for 4 nights and it only cost $66, incl tax.
Paid for parking with a credit card upon return from vacation. The attendant took my card behind the counter out of my sight. The next day my credit card number was used to make purchases of $1000. Thankfully, the credit card company shut down my card to prevent further illegal use. Never will use the Airpark again.
Is the parking lot for the terminal 8 closed? If it is closed, which I need to go?

i lost my ticket for my long term parking- how much will i have to pay?
they'd find out how long you've stayed. they have security that accounts for every car parked. this is to protect them from people who parked for more than a day, and think they can pay only for a day, by lying and saying they lost the ticket.
How high can the roof be to enter this area?
I will have luggage on roof and need to know if it will clear.
Can anyone recommend a hotel that has overnight parking and will shuttle us to & from the airport?
None of the hotels seem to allow you to keep your car ther unless you are staying at the hotel for the duration.
does anyone know if there is an additional charge to part an SUV? Also does the $18 per day include tax?
Is the parking lot across from terminal 8 open. If it is open can you park there for 7 days.
Don't Park at AIR PARK
when I got back from my vacation on 3/5/2010 they told me there was a problem with my car. My car was parked under the billboard where I guess work was performed while I was away and supposedly a strap with heavy hooks feel through my sun roof and now they don't want to pay!!!! It also scratch the top of my car and the side and they don't want to take responsibility for the repair!! Now who knows how hard I will have to work to get the money due to me to repair my car.
AIrPark JFK
DO NOT PARK HERE!!!! after being stranded at the airport for 45 minutes we had to take cabs to the lot to get our car. Chris, the manager, was sleeping when we arrived at 1130am while phones were ringing off the hook. My car was covered in bird crap because they park your car under the billboards. Very rude, disrespectful, and disgusting individuals. I would have rather walked from Philadelphia than park at these scammers lot
Good to know. Note that AirPark is a different lot than the official long-term lot where you park yourself there is monorail service to the terminals. Very convenient the one time I used it.
Satelite antenna from car top stolen at the long term JFK lot sometime between Wednesday the 11th at 3:15 pm and Saturday the 14th at 7:15 AM
(A-12 row of lot.)
Use the long term lot several times a year; always thought security was good. Now I wonder.
Need to be @ Jet Blue Termial by 7am...where is the best place to long term park on JFK property...Thanks
Hi. I have never been to Terminal 8 (usually use Terminal 7) and I am very much worried after looking at the map on this website which provides that parking near Terminals 8 & 9 are closed. Is it really closed? If yes, is there any suggestion which parking lot to use?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I am parking my car at jfk airport how long will it take me to get to Terminal 4? and is the air train close by?
I used it many times & it is extremely efficient and quick to get to any terminal. 10-12 min max incl wait time for the tram. Tram is very close to the long term paking facility. The parking lot actually surrounds the tram entrance.
Dont park at Avistar. I returned from a weekend trip to find that my GPS and bluetooth were missing from the glove compartment. It was my first time using them and the guy who parked the car initially said my car and stuff were safe. I stayed and called the police to make a report. While i was waiting the superviser came out and wanted to refund my entire parking fee. Then he said he had called his manager who was not working at the time. His manager said someone jumped the fence and took my GPS by breaking into my car. ONly thing was my cars locked were not even scratched. what a lame excuse. I made the report. They claimed they would reimburse me the full cost if i showed them my receipt. This was obviously an inside job. So if you dont mind parking your car with thieves go right ahead.
Avistar at Newark has the same criminals working for them. Had GPS stolen from hidden armrest compartment. Manager and staff didn't have a care in the world. Totally an inside job.
Tried to make claim with corporate only to find out they are worse than the dirtbags that work at the lots. Was told they aren't responsible. The claim agent actually had the nerve to imply I was lying. Even after filing a report with Newark police at 2am in downtown Newark at the station!!!!!
Will never recommend.
They are HORRIBLE. We used them coming home from visiting family in Texas...there were flight delays, so we arrived a Midnight...we waited 2 HOURS (with a 7 month old) for them to get our car. Then they came back and said they LOST OUR KEYS....Took my Dad to the car...he searched for them, to no avail. They FINALLY offered to get us a rental car home...but we'd have to pay for it and they'd reimburse us...We got home at 5...Dad drove back with rental car at 9am...they STILL had an hour wait, and no keys...Gave him a hard time about taking him back to rental return...All this and Dad found the keys in the corner of the door pocket...NO APOLOGIES from ANYONE...Worst experience EVER....
BEWARE!!!!! THEY ARE TERRIBLE I parked there for a week and when I came back the driver's side door was smashed and the inner door panel was in the back seat. They said the car was that way when it arrived and tried to show me their hand written note saying that the car was damaged when it arrived. The door wouldn't even close properly.
I took it to an auto body shop and they took photos and wrote that the damage was done when the door was hit when it was open - a common parking garage accident. The auto body shop also wrote that there was no rust on the damaged metal, so the damage had to occur within the last two or three days. Since the car was there for a week, it could not have been damaged when it arrived.
Despite all this info, AVISTAR claimed that both its manager and regional manager saw the car arrive damaged. There reaction was to totally ignore my letters and calls.
After reading all these comments, you decide if its safe to park your car there.
