Parking at JFK?

Lock your doors.

At least $200+tax off-site booked on internet--my first found link when looking in less than 1 minute; you might also get limo. quotes and let someone else hassle the drive on behalf of (presumably) family peace. This is how something called a "search engine" can be made to work for you. Search Terms: JFK Airport Parking. JFK Airport Limousine.

Thanks, this is great advice! However, it may surprise you to know that most people who post in this forum fully understand what a "search engine" is. After going with the obvious (your advice), I used the thing called the "Internet" to navigate to the "travel discussion" section of deal site called "fatwallet" and post there in the hopes that some deal savvy person could help me spend a lot less than the $200 that your great advice gets. It looks like I'll now be spending about $80 and parking on the street in Queens thanks to fatwallet!

Had you initially posted something like "I live in Mass, am driving to JFK for flight, trip will be two weeks, and I am trying to find the best deal for long-term parking? The cheapest I have found is ~$200; does anyone know of a cheaper option?"

As far as any could tell reading your OP, you are just another lazy poster coming here to have someone do the work for you.

Not exactly at JFK, but I always park at doubletree hotel, JFK for less than $10 a day by booking in advance using this website: http://airportparkinginc.com/

Edit to add: The hotel does have a free to and fro shuttle for the airport every half an hour (if you get unlucky you may have to wait 30 minutes for it)

Excellent, thanks. This is definitely the cheapest one I've seen.

You're going to leave your car on the street in Queens for two weeks to save $120? Pardon, but that sounds a bit risky for my taste...

zipcar, might be the option. I haven't done that, but think about it if it suits your option.

I used to live in queens, and its 20-30$ cab from there.. street parking was free for all at that time

gud luck

I have a minivan. Does anyone know any local pimps in Queens that might want to rent out the back seat area for turning tricks while I'm gone? I figure I can make money on this while the van is sitting in its spot on the street.
