Synopsis: BestParking.com (formerly NYCGarages.com) is a free parking search engine that steers drivers towards the cheapest and most convenient parking facilities in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and all major airports. Over 100,000 motorists rely on the website each month to easily compare the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates at over 3,000 parking facilities. The largest parking operators in the nation have partnered with BestParking.com to offer guaranteed rates, reservations, coupons, monthly specials, and exclusive deals directly to the site’s users. BestParking’s “Parking Partners” include Central Parking System, Standard Parking, Edison ParkFast, Five Star Parking, Network Parking, Hertz, Icon Parking Systems, Champion Parking, Quik Park, Enterprise Parking, and other major operators. BestParking.com is a member of The National Parking Association. Cities - Daily Parking: Motorists can search for parking by neighborhood, address, cross street, or attraction. All parking garages and lots near the search destination will appear on a map and sortable list. Details for each facility are posted, including addresses, phone numbers, capacity (if available), valet/park and lock/self-park, indoor/outdoor, and SUV/Minivan/Van/Truck regulations. Prices are displayed once an arrival and departure time are entered and the "calculate rates" button is pressed. Our system considers all possible pricing variations (e.g., early-bird, evening, holiday specials, and extra overnight charges) before running an instant rate comparison and returning all results for the time period. If your goal is to get the cheapest rate, we urge you to run a few searches and compare them, as small variations in arrival and departure times may mean the difference between qualifying for a terrific cheap special and paying a maximum charge. If driving an SUV or Minivan, be sure to carefully read the garage/lot pop-up for any surcharges. If your search results in an "N/A" (Not Applicable), either the garage or lot is closed at the time of your arrival/departure or daily parking is not allowed. Cities - Monthly Parking: The default vehicle type is for a regular vehicle. A regular vehicle measures less than 181 inches in length and less than 70 inches high (not a SUV, minivan, van, truck, luxury vehicle, exotic vehicle, stretch limousine, chauffeured car, electric car, or motorcycle). The posted rates are often higher than the actual rates customers pay since most parking facilities are open to negotiation. In fact, many garage/lot signs substitute "inquire within" for a monthly rate, which we indicate by a "N/P" (Not Posted). An "N/A" (Not Applicable) result means either that the garage/lot does not accept your type of vehicle or monthly parking is not allowed. Airports: All on-airport and off-airport garages and lots for every major U.S. airport are displayed on a map and corresponding list below the map. Details for each facility are provided and all rates can be instantly calculated so that motorists can make a fair and unbiased comparison. Both short-term and long-term parking is supported.

Privacy Contact Information If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about our privacy policy you may contact us at privacy@bestparking.com. We reserve the right to make changes to this policy; any changes will be posted. Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and NYC parking rate signs are often ambiguous or incomplete. Specials may or may not be posted at all times, and are frequently adjusted to match the rates of nearby garages and lots. In addition, posted hours of operation may differ from actual hours. Although we strive for 100% accuracy, it is an unachievable goal. Therefore, BestParking.com cannot be held responsible for excess charges or otherwise inaccurate information. You should always confirm our rates with the garage or lot before leaving your car. Finally, by including garages and lots on our site, we make no representation about their business practices or reliability in caring for your vehicle.
