Over the years we’ve developed some important knowledge that we love to share with our travelers.

1. Always plan ahead. In the case of flights, it is always safer to be early. There have been plenty of instances when customers arrived at our facility with only an hour and a half to spare before their flight and as expected, miss their flights.

This time window may seem large, but in reality it gives you the chance to calmly unload your bags so that our valet can load up the shuttles while you check in with us. JFK Discount Parking is only four miles away from John F Kennedy International Airport, but in some cases traffic can build up, and we don’t want any customers getting anxious over running late.
2. Always make sure to take any valuable possessions from your car. Accidents can always happen, and while we take it upon ourselves to ensure none of our employees would ever steal, there are dishonest people out there. Whether you park at JFK Discount Parking or anywhere else for that matter, it is of the utmost importance to take valuables with you, or leave them behind.
3. Determine what you want out of your parking experience. By this, we mean do you want to be close to JFK international airport? Do you want an option with the best deal? Or would you prefer to just leave your car anywhere? By understanding what you want while you’re away, you will be able to narrow your search.

 Proximity: If you want to ensure that you are as close as possible to the airport, then we highly recommend parking on-site at JFK international airport. Each terminal has its own parking lot with shuttle service to get you to the departures and arrivals gates. This convenience does come with a hefty price tag however, so definitely look into some alternatives if you’d like to be close and not break your wallet. One parking lot that is only four miles away is JFK Discount Parking.


Reliability: For those travelers who worry about their cars being in the wrong hands, we highly recommend looking at long-term lots that are open 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

( Although as an insider tip, it’s always best not to leave anything precious behind.)


Best deal: If you’re working with a budget, it is best to steer clear of the on site lots at JFK. Looking outside of the airport grounds will lower the rates, but it also is dependant on the kind of car you have. Be sure to look at each lots social platforms to see if they are running any sort of promotions. JFK Discount Parking is known for its amazing deals. Standard sized vehicles are only nine dollars a day while oversized vehicles are nineteen. On top of that, they offer complimentary shuttle service to and from JFK as a courtesy to their travelers.
