Best Parking NYCBEST PARKING NYC

If you are looking for the best parking in NYC, you should consider parking on the street!!!!  There is always free NYC Parking if you know where to look.  Free is always the best parking rate!

HOW DO I FIND FREE PARKING IN NYC?

The trick to finding the best parking in New York City is to understand the New York City parking rules.  Knowledge of NYC Parking Regulations will help you save tons of money and keep your car from getting towed in NYC.  Below is a guide to parking in NYC:

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #1: KNOW THE ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES

If you want to park for free in New York City, you have to be fully aware of the NYC parking regulations that apply.  You can find out by checking parking signs, looking online at the NYC DOT website, and by calling 311.  There are particular days upon which the parking rules are suspended.  These include holidays.  NYC has many holidays on which parking regulations are suspended that you probably don’t even know about!

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #2: PARKING IN NYC IS OFTEN FREE ON SUNDAYS!

Many people do not realize that often parking regulations are suspended in Manhattan and in New York City on Sundays.  If you can wait until Sunday to run your errands, you can often park for free in areas of NYC that you might otherwise not be able to get to by car.  It is often best to plan any parking in NYC that you need to get done for Sunday.  The earlier in the day on Sunday you plan to park in New York City, the better.

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #3: MANY PARKING LOTS HAVE EARLY BIRD SPECIALS!

Have you heard how expensive parking lots are in NYC?  Most people know that parking in New York City is expensive.  However, with a little work, you can score discounted parking in NYC!  One way to do so is by finding out if the garage you are going to has an “early bird special” which lowers the parking rate.  The way that these parking specials work is that you have to enter the parking lot by a certain time (for example, before 10am) and if you do, your parking is at a significantly reduced rate.  This is a method New York City parking garages use to entice commuters who are not monthly parking customers to enter the lot early and often.  Often you can park for 10-12 hours for a significantly reduced rate.  You can call ahead or look for signage.

 

BEST PARKING NYC TIP #4: MUNICIPAL PARKING LOTS ARE THE BEST DEALS IN NEW YORK CITY!

Did you know that NYC has Municipal Parking Lots that are City run and cost just a fraction of what private parking lots cost?  If you have not parked in a municipal lot, you have missed out on one of the best NYC Parking Deals ever!  You should also check out NYC Parking Cards!  Municipal parking fields do not allow overnight parking.

WHY ARE THERE ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES IN NEW YORK CITY?

The ASP Rules are also referred to as the NYC Street Cleaning Rules.  This is because New York City needs to be able to clean it’s streets. So, each day, they require that cars are removed from the street for a couple of hours a day.  During that period, Street Sweepers and Street Cleaners work to clean the streets of New York City.

New York City Parking Tickets

If you violate New York City Parking laws, including alternate side parking rules which may be in effect in NYC, you may receive a parking ticket.  Sometimes, people get parking tickets and never realize one has been issued.  Often a pedestrian or the wind removes the ticket from the car.  Rain and other conditions may render a ticket illegible.  If you wish to check to see if you have a parking ticket in NYC, you can use the NYC Department of Finance Parking Ticket Information Site.

The good news is, you can pay your NYC Tickets online! (through NYC department of finance)

PARKING RULES IN NEW YORK CITY DURING WINTER STORMS

 

When a storm hits New York City, especially in the event of a Blizzard or other snow storm, alternate side parking rules are often suspended.  However, if there is a snow storm in New York City, do not assume that parking rules will be suspended.  You can check the NYC Alternate Side Twitter page for real time parking rule updates in the event of a Blizzard or winter storm.  Please note that often, parking meter rules will still be in effect.
