Parking at JFK for More Than 30 Days

How to Pay for JFK Parking
You can pay your JFK parking rates in several ways, so choose the one that saves you the most time when you leave.
- Credit, debit or contactless: You can pay with MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express, with E-ZPass, or with contactless payments such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. To save time when you leave, use a credit or debit card at an Express Pay machine.
- E-ZPass Plus: You can use your E-ZPass tag to pay for airport parking if you have registered for E-ZPass Plus and your E-ZPass account is replenished with a valid credit card. Commercial accounts must call the E-ZPass Plus Customer Service Center to activate it.
E-ZPass Plus works like this. When you enter, use the lanes marked with purple E-ZPass signs, drive up to the gate and wait for the arm to rise, which can take up to 20 seconds. Do not pull a ticket. When you leave, your tag is read at the exit plaza and your account is charged at the posted rates. A fee of $20 or less comes out of your E-ZPass balance, and a fee over $20 is charged to the credit card linked to the account. You can learn more on the E-ZPass New York website.
Premium Parking and Restricted Mobility Rates
Premium parking
Premium parking lets you reserve a space closer to your terminal. Each parking garage has dedicated premium spaces, and reservations must be made online.
Parking for travelers with restricted mobility
Spaces for customers with disabilities are available in every JFK lot, including near the terminal entrances and in the Long-Term Lot near the Howard Beach and Lefferts Boulevard AirTrain stations, subject to availability. Your vehicle must prominently display a non-expired, state-issued ADA license plate, placard or permit, or it can be towed. A courtesy discount is available with an official ADA plate, placard or permit.
- The discount cannot be used with prebooked reservations or E-ZPass payment.
- Do not use the E-ZPass lanes. Enter through the ticket lane and pull a ticket.
- When you leave, press the HELP button to speak with an attendant, who will validate your ADA tag and adjust your fee.
- The discount applies only after your parking charges exceed $35 per day. Charges are incurred in 30-minute increments until the daily maximum is reached.
- Accessible spaces cannot be reserved. If they are full, premium reserved parking is the next most convenient option.
| Duration | Rate for persons with restricted mobility |
|---|---|
| Half-hour increments | Standard rates apply up to the daily maximum |
| 24-hour maximum | $35 |
Ways to Lower Your JFK Parking Rates
- Prebook at least 3 hours ahead. On the published rates, prebooking can save $10 to $16 per day compared with the drive-up maximum, and it helps guarantee a space.
- Pick the right lot. The Long-Term Lot has the lowest daily rate, but you take the AirTrain to your terminal. The terminal lots cost more and are closer.
- Compare off-airport lots. Many lots near JFK include a shuttle, and some cost less than the on-airport lots. Compare the total for your dates, including your travel time.
- Check for coupons. See our airport parking discount coupons before you book.
- Watch your vehicle height. Height limits range from 6’4″ in the Blue Lot to 11’6″ in the Long-Term Lot, so check before you drive in with a tall vehicle or roof box.
