RuddWire - "Parking in NYC" - September 23, 2009
I have a pickup truck. I thought I was going to have to garage it in Brooklyn or upper Manhattan and only see it twice a year. I can’t afford $500/month to park. But then I came across this site: http://nyc.bestparking.com/. The prices here are much, much lower. Like $160/month for the first year, $200/month thereafter. Much more affordable. I ended up parking in an Icon lot in midtown, 2 blocks from work, for $200/month — for a 4?4 pickup. That’s a good deal. Of course, I only have experience with monthly parking deals. A colleague who lives in New Jersey tells me he uses the site when driving in for Rangers games. He uses it to make a reservation for a spot in advance. That way he doesn’t get hosed when driving up to a lot.

The site shows you a street map, gives you the name, exact address and phone number of any garage you highlight - and if there's a rate guarantee, you just print it out and take it with you. The whole process was very easy and it was reassuring to know exactly where we were going and how much it would cost. A friend of mine also used them to find a monthly parking garage at about half the rate other garages were charging.

Summary of Services
Synopsis: BestParking is a parking search engine that steers drivers towards the cheapest and most convenient parking facilities in 85 cities and 115 airports throughout North America (100 cities by Q3, 2013). Over 400,000 motorists rely on our website and mobile apps each month to easily compare the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly rates at over 10,000 parking facilities, thereby saving hundreds of dollars on parking.

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 Edison ParkFast, Icon Parking Systems, Quik Park, and other major operators.

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. Reservations are available at 70+ airports. Both short-term and long-term parking is supported.
