John F. Kennedy International Airport, commonly known as JFK is the busiest airport in the United States and one of the busiest airports in the world. It handled nearly 46 million passengers in 2009 which means about 126,000 passengers per day. Not everyone departing from JFK Airport needs to search for a parking space nearby but many do. Finding a good parking space close to JFK Airport may seem challenging at first but it is actually very easy.
The airport-run central parking facilities are the closest to the terminals but can cost you up to $33
per day to park. The amount is so over priced it a wonder anyone uses these central parking facilities. The other choice of airport run facilities is the Long Term Lot at Lefferts Boulevard.

The cost to park there is $18 per day which is a significant decrease in cost but the fact that you now have to take an Air Train to your terminal adds more time and effort to your trip. Typically, you can expect to spend at least 40 minutes getting from the parking lot to your terminal.
To reduce your costs for parking when flying from JFK Airport it may be a better idea to find a parking space in one of the nearby privately-run parking lots. There are several parking facilities in close proximity to JFK Airport, some of which are even closer than the Airport's facility at Lefferts Boulevard. They typically enable both short and long-term parking and are less expensive than the airport-run facility. These private businesses offer 24 hour service and will bring you to the Airport with their shuttles vans in a matter of minutes.
Most of the privately owned parking facilities close to JFK Airport can be found online where you can also check the availability as well as make a reservation to avoid missing your flight while searching a parking space. They all offer lower prices than the airport-run parking facilities. In addition, they also have to compete for customers among each other which enables you to get a really good deal.
You can save yourself a lot of money if you do a little research on the Internet and compare prices between different parking lots and their offers. The cost per day savings can be somewhere between 5 or 6 dollars per day. Over a period of a week that can add up to a big chunk of change. Many lots offer a free day of parking when staying for longer than a week. Make sure you find a lot that doesn’t have any hidden surcharges or fees. To make sure that you have really chosen the best option it may be also worth reading some reviews of other people who parked their cars at a particular parking lot before making any reservations.
