Short-Term Parking at EWR
Short-term parking is located directly adjacent to each terminal and is best suited for drop-offs, pickups, or stays of just a few hours. Rates rise quickly, so it's not a practical choice for multi-day trips.
EWR has three short-term parking garages — P1, P2, and P3 — each attached to a terminal. These are the most convenient option: park and walk directly to check-in. Rates are charged in half-hour increments, with a daily maximum of $65.
Short-term parking is ideal for those who are dropping off or picking up passengers and need to park for a few hours. You can absolutely use the terminal garages for overnight parking but this is the most expensive parking option at the airport. Newark Airport offers several short-term parking options near the terminals. The rates for short-term parking are as follows:
- Terminal A parking costs $5.25 for 30 minutes, plus an additional $5.25 every half hour thereafter. After the first three hours, half-hour increments cost $10.50. The daily maximum rate is $65. If you plan to park here for at least one day or 24 hours, prebooking will save you money. Your daily rate will be $50, which is a 32% savings.
- Terminal C parking costs $5.25 for 30 minutes, with an additional $5.25 per half hour thereafter. After the first three hours, half-hour increments cost $10.50. The daily maximum rate is $70. If you prebook this terminal parking, you will save money and pay $50 per day. Prebooking will save you 37% per day on parking fees.
Long-Term Parking Rates at EWR
For travelers who need parking for an extended period, you can find long-term parking at the daily parking garage and the economy parking lot. At EWR, these are the more popular options for overnight parking and longer parking stays, as the rates range from slightly lower to significantly lower. The standard rates for long-term parking are:
- Economy Parking Lot costs $35 for the first 24 hours and then parking fees are broken down into half-day or 12-hour segments at a rate of $17.50 for each 12 hours thereafter. Pre-booked parking is offered at a rate of $30 per day.
- Daily Parking Garage P4 has a similar fee structure to the terminal parking areas. Costs accrue at a $4.25 per half-hour rate. After three hours, half-hour increments are $8.50 and then reach a maximum of $60 per day. There is a savings of 36% when you pre-book a parking spot here.
Long-Term Parking at EWR (P4)
Parking Lot P4 is Newark Airport's dedicated long-term parking facility. It offers a lower daily rate than the terminal garages and is connected to the terminals via the AirTrain, which is included in the parking fee. P4 is the best on-airport option for trips of several days.
The P4 daily parking garage is more economical than short-term but follows a similar half-hour increment structure. After 3 hours the incremental charge increases until the 24-hour maximum is reached. Pre-booking is available for stays of at least 24 hours.
| Duration | Drive-Up Rate |
|---|---|
| First 30 minutes | $4.25 |
| Each additional 30 min (up to 3 hrs) | $4.25 |
| 3 – 6 hours | $25.50 |
| 6 – 12 hours | $34.00 |
| 12 – 24 hours (daily max) | $60.00 |
Economy Parking at EWR (P6)
Lot P6 is EWR's economy parking option and the most affordable on-airport choice. It's located further from the terminals but is served by a free shuttle. Pre-booking online secures a lower rate than driving up on the day.
The Economy Lot (P6) is located just northeast of the airport on Brewster Road. A free shuttle runs every 10 minutes to all terminals. It's the most affordable on-airport option, especially if you pre-book online.
| Days Parked | Drive-Up Rate | Pre-Booked Rate | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $35 | $30 | $5 (14%) |
| 2 | $70 | $60 | $10 (14%) |
| 3 | $105 | $90 | $15 (14%) |
| 4 | $140 | $120 | $20 (14%) |
| 5 | $175 | $150 | $25 (14%) |
| 6 | $210 | $180 | $30 (14%) |
| 7 | $245 | $210 | $35 (14%) |
| 8 | $280 | $240 | $40 (14%) |
| 9 | $315 | $270 | $45 (14%) |
Pre-booking at P6 saves roughly 14% compared to driving up, which adds up fast on longer trips. For example, a 7-day stay costs $210 pre-booked versus $245 at the gate — that's $35 back in your pocket.
Off-Airport Parking Near EWR

Tips to Save on EWR Parking
- Pre-book online. Drive-up rates are always higher than pre-booked rates at the same facility — both on-airport and off-airport lots.
- Compare off-airport lots. For trips of 3+ days, off-airport lots offer the best value by a wide margin. Use ParkON to compare options near EWR.
- Choose P6 over P4 for economy. If you want to stay on-airport and keep costs down, P6 (economy) is cheaper than P4 for most trip lengths.
- Avoid short-term lots for multi-day trips. Short-term parking adds up fast — even a 2-day trip in a short-term garage can cost more than a week in an economy lot.
- Book early during peak periods. Demand spikes during summer and major holidays. Booking in advance locks in lower rates and guarantees a space.
