Parking a Ford Transit Passenger Van NYC
We had to rent a Ford Transit Van to get 6 people and luggage to NYC before a flight to Thailand. It's 72 inches tall, and I'm worried a little about finding a parking garage. We're staying at 54th and Broadway. I've heard anything from $15 more, if it will fit, to double the cost. Any suggestions? I'm not adverse to dropping everyone and luggage off and parking either close enough to walk(1/2 mile) or subway back. We arrive on Saturday, and drop our Thai friends at JKK on Monday morning.
Thanks for any help!

Here's one on 55th that appears to handle large vehicles, I would call them to clarify the rates listed etc....

What about One Way Rentals? You rent a van/vehicle at your origin, drive it and drop it off at the airport. On your return, take the terminal train to the rental cars, rent a van, drive and drop off at your point of origin.
A bit crazy to even consider paying for parking a car for said amounts of days when one way rentals are so common and easy.... Call Hertz, Budget, Avis and ask about One Way Rentals.

Gretchen-- not at all. Prices for one way rentals have come down dramatically in the last 3-4 years. I just rented a one way rental to drive from my hometwon to JFK, about 200 miles away. How much I paid? $45. If it had been a weekend then $65. A van limo service same distance charges $75/pp. Not a math genius but SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than 3 days parking in NYC.
Can't argue with the economics!!
