parking
 

My husband and I are going to New York tomorrow and we will be staying at the Waldorf. They want $45 for parking; any other suggestions for parking in that area?

That is normal for parking in that neighborhood. I've seen parking as much as $75 per day in Midtown.

Cheaper parking exists in NYC, but not in the area of your hotel. If you plan to just park your car for the whole trip<BR>and pick it up when yo leave, there are some cheaper lots all the way on the west side (about1- 1 1/2 mile away) and then you can take a cab to/from your hotel.<BR>If it's just for one night and/or you need quick access to the car, that probably won't work.<BR>Also, check if the $45 allows you in/out privileges (if that's what you need) --it's rare in NY, but if it is, it would actually be a huge deal at that rate!

XXX states "I've seen parking as much as $75 per day in Midtown." Where did you see this $75 rate for 24 hours? I have never seen anything approaching that number.

Do a search in switchboard in parking garages near the Waldorf. You can probably take it to a private lot, not affiliated with any hotel, for less. I know in my neighborhood (lower manhattan) you can park for about $25/day in a private lot. As far as in/out privileges, unless you plan on leaving the city there is no reason to take your car anywhere within Manhattan. It's more trouble than it's worth.

Hi Lisa,<BR><BR>$35 -$45 is pretty normal for parking. I often pay that much when I drive into the city, it's much easier than driving around and taking a chance at finding a cheaper place. I've also discovered that alot of places don't give you a price until you are of the street and in the lot. Good luck.
