Newark Airport (EWR) Parking
On-site rates run $21–$70/day depending on the lot. Off-site lots with free shuttles start under $9/day. Pre-booking the on-site P4 or P6 lots saves 28–36% over drive-up rates.
Reserve Newark Airport ParkingNewark Liberty is the third major NYC-area airport, and for a lot of Manhattan trips — especially international flights and anything on United — it’s actually the more convenient choice over JFK or LaGuardia. Parking works differently here too, and knowing the lot names before you go saves real money.
Official EWR On-Site Parking
| Lot | Serves | Drive-Up Daily Max | Pre-Booked |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 (Terminal A) | Terminal A | $65/day | Not available |
| P2 (Terminal B) | Terminal B | $70/day | Not available |
| P3 (Terminal C) | Terminal C | $70/day | Not available |
| P4 Daily Garage | All terminals via AirTrain | $60/day | ~$38/day |
| P6 Economy Lot | All terminals via shuttle | $35/day | $21/day |
P6 Economy is the cheapest on-airport option — an open-air lot on Brewster Road with a free shuttle every 5–10 minutes, 24/7. P4 Daily Garage is covered and connects to every terminal via the free AirTrain (about 7 minutes to Terminal C, 11 to Terminal B, 20 to Terminal A) — the better pick if you want weather protection or EV charging.
Off-Site EWR Parking: The Real Savings
| Option | Daily Rate | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Off-site budget lots | From $8.95/day | Valet, free shuttle every 5–10 min |
| Off-site mid-range lots | $10–$12/day | Valet or self-park, free shuttle |
| Hotel park-and-fly lots | $10–$11/day | Self-park, free shuttle to terminals |
Several hotels near EWR offer park-and-fly packages — pay for a night’s stay (or sometimes just the parking) and leave your car in their lot with a free shuttle to the terminal. Worth comparing against dedicated off-site lots if your flight has an early departure.
Pre-Book Newark ParkingThe Math on a Multi-Day Trip
| Option | Daily Rate | 7-Day Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P2/P3 walk-up | $70/day | ~$490 |
| P4 pre-booked | ~$38/day | ~$266 |
| P6 pre-booked | $21/day | ~$147 |
| Off-site lot | From $8.95/day | ~$63 |
An off-site lot can save well over $400 compared to a week of walk-up terminal parking.
Getting to Newark from NYC Without a Car
If you’re in Manhattan and don’t want to drive at all, EWR is genuinely well-connected to the city:
- NJ Transit — take the Northeast Corridor line from Penn Station to Newark Liberty International Airport Station, then a short AirTrain ride to your terminal
- Newark Airport Express bus — direct service from Midtown Manhattan to all terminals, no transfers
- Rideshare/taxi — typically $60–$90 from Manhattan depending on traffic and time of day
Restricted-Mobility Parking
Drivers with a valid mobility placard are charged the lowest drive-up rate at any EWR lot. This discount is applied at exit and cannot be pre-booked or used with an E-ZPass lane — drive up and pull a ticket rather than reserving in advance.
