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 | 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.

It’s all about the P6 Economy Lot if you’re watching your budget. That’s the official airport one for $18 a day. You just park, hop on their shuttle, and it takes you to the AirTrain. It’s not as fast as walking from the expensive garage, but for that price difference, the extra 10 minutes is totally worth it. I always use it for trips over a weekend.

As someone who travels for work, my time is the priority. I always go for Terminal Parking. Yes, it’s $43 a day, but when you’re hauling a suitcase and a laptop bag, being able to straight from your car into the terminal in under five minutes is priceless. I expense it, but even if I didn’t, the convenience for a short business trip is worth the premium for me.

Don't forget about the off-airport lots! Companies like The Parking Spot and others are just a minute or two from the airport and have daily rates as low as $6-$10 if you book ahead. You get a shuttle ride to your terminal. It’s a great way to save, especially for long vacations. Just factor in a little extra time for the shuttle drop-off and pick-up. Compare prices online before you go.

My strategy is a hybrid. If it's just a short two-day trip, I might suck it up and use Terminal Parking for the sheer ease. For anything longer, I'm looking at P6 or an off-site lot. The key is to check the airport's website the night before to see if the lots are full. If P6 is available, that's my pick. It's a safe, well-lit, airport-run lot that saves me real money without feeling sketchy.
