Off-site Airport Parking
 
Could anyone recommend a safe and affordable off-site airport parking?

...to clarify: Off-site Newark Int'l Airport...

Here's some links to off-site parking coupons: http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?act=ST&amp;f=303&amp;t=289&amp;s=72cdd5c ebdc58d5fd5b93d7485e6eedd<BR><BR>Keep in mind that parking tax in Newark (even at off-site locations) is some crazy amount like 18.5%

Which of these are good and safe though?

Provence97<BR>Don't know about the area you specify but in our area, there are many hotels that offer park and fly rooms. We stay in a hotel at the airport, the next morning we leave our car in their parking lot and their transportion takes us to the airport doors. They pick us back up on our return and take us to our car. The cost for the room is not that much more then cost of parking.

There are a number of off site parking services for Newark Airport, all of which are just fine for personal safety and the safety of your vehicle (in my experience, which consists of using such a service about 20 times over the past two years). Avistar and Mr. B's are both okay but I use Vista Parking because it's cheaper and service has always been fine. They seem to take a few minutes longer sometimes) to pick you up than the others, but they get you to the airport quicker because they're closer. Price before tax is under $9 per day if you use the link and request a &quot;quote&quot;. You MUST bring the printed quote and present it when you pay or the price is about the same as the others in the area. I've researched these prices on repeat occasiosn and Vista keeps coming up as the cheapest. Like the others, they have controlled access to the facility and are well staffed.<BR><BR>http://www.airportparkinglots.com/ne...ng/index.shtml

Thanks Owen. <BR>I looked at the other lots offering discounts. When &quot;+ tax&quot; is mentioned next to the price/day, does that mean the tax was included?<BR><BR>Are reservations necessary? How many hours/minutes should I be at the parking lot before departure?<BR><BR>Looks like Mr. B's might be cheaper than VistaParking.

We usually go to park2go on Rt.1. You park there, they take you right away to the airport in a van. Costs $10/day plus tip to van driver. When you come back, you call and they pick you up. It is better than leaving your car unattended. &lt;park2go.com&gt;
