Parking at Newark Airport (EWR) costs between $6 per day for an off-airport lot to $43 per day for the most convenient Terminal Parking. The final price depends entirely on which of the three main on-airport options you choose, how long you stay, and whether you pre-book a spot online. For most travelers, the P6 Economy Lot offers the best balance of price and convenience at $18 per day, with a free AirTrain connection to all terminals.
The airport operates a tiered parking system. Here’s a breakdown of the current daily rates for on-airport parking:
| Parking Option | Daily Rate | Walk to Terminal? | Key Feature |
|---|
| Terminal Parking | $43 | Yes (indoors) | Most convenient, directly attached to terminals |
| Daily Parking | $30 | No (AirTrain ride) | Closer than Economy, covered walk to AirTrain |
| P6 Economy Lot | $18 | No (AirTrain ride) | Most affordable on-airport option, frequent buses |
Terminal Parking is the premium choice. It’s located directly across from Terminals B and C, and you can walk indoors to your check-in counter in minutes. This convenience comes at the highest daily rate, and the garage often fills up.
Daily Parking (Lot P4) is a solid alternative. While you need to take the complimentary AirTrain to reach your terminal, the station is just a short, covered walk away from the lot. The daily rate is significantly lower than Terminal Parking.
For the best value, the P6 Economy Lot is the official budget option. You park your car and take a frequent, dedicated shuttle bus to the AirTrain station. The process adds about 10-15 minutes to your travel time but saves a substantial amount of money for longer trips.
Always check the official Port Authority of New York & New Jersey website for the most current rates and real-time availability. Pre-booking online can sometimes save you money and guarantees you a spot, especially during peak travel seasons.
