Newark Airport EWR parking rate comparison chart

Parking fees at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) vary widely depending on which lot you choose and how you pay. Whether you need a quick drop-off spot or a long-term space for a two-week vacation, this guide breaks down every rate so you can budget ahead and avoid surprises at the gate.

Short-Term Parking Rates (P1, P2, P3)

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.

Pre-booked short-term parking is available but only for stays of 24 hours or more. There is no pre-booked half-hour rate.

Daily Parking Rates (P4)

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

P4 is a solid middle-ground option: cheaper than terminal parking but still on-site with a shuttle to all terminals.

Economy Lot (P6) — Drive Up vs. Prebook Rates

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

For the biggest savings, off-airport lots near Newark Airport offer daily rates starting at $8 per day — a fraction of on-airport prices. These lots include free 24/7 shuttle service to all EWR terminals, and many offer extras like covered parking, valet service, and car preparation before your return.

Parking Option	Daily Rate	7-Day Estimate
Short-Term (P1/P2/P3)	$70 max	$490
Daily (P4)	$60 max	$420
Economy (P6) — Pre-Booked	$30	$210
Off-Airport (via ParkON)	$8 – $24	$56 – $168

Tips to Save on EWR Parking

Pre-book online. Whether you choose the Economy Lot or an off-airport facility, pre-booking almost always beats drive-up pricing. At P6 alone, you save ~28%.
Compare all options in one search. Search on ParkON to compare off-airport lots by price, distance, rating, and covered/uncovered parking.
Book early for peak travel. Holidays and summer weekends fill up fast. Reserving a week or more in advance secures both availability and the best rate.
Factor in trip length. Terminal garages make sense for 1–2 day trips. For anything over 3 days, the Economy Lot or off-airport lots provide dramatically better value.
Check for promo codes. ParkON occasionally offers promotional discounts on Newark Airport parking — check the site before you book.
