OT: Best parking at EWR?
- Thread starter Mikemarc
- Start date
Take an Uber or Lyft. Much easier and more efficient, and cost isn't a ton more.
If parking on site, register more than 24 hours in advance or pay almost double!!
Tough lesson learned this week.

We always use short-term parking decks at the terminals. Time is money. Pre-book online and its $44 a day.
EWR's system is pretty good, the entrance/exit gates have license plate readers, so no hassle.....if you book ahead of time!
Fast, easy and fairly priced. Also can’t tell you how many times that free bottle of water at the check out kiosk has come in handy
We’ve been P4 deck parkers for a while. The convenience of this location is temporarily reduced if you are a terminal A flight, which requires a bus transfer.EWR's system is pretty good, the entrance/exit gates have license plate readers, so no hassle.....if you book ahead of time!
I assume the economy lot (p6 ?) is a direct bus to terminal (A) situation. If so and you are Terminal A, that might be a better and cheaper choice for now.
Again 24+ hours advance registration gives you best pricing. 23 hours is NOT sufficient.
Yes p6 is a bus transfer
For convenience Uber is the play
For cost savings is one of the outer lots
Getting to terminal A using the bus transfer is an absolutely horrendous experience. One and done for me.
Uber or one of the offsight lots is probably the play. I will probably use JFK or LGA to avoid Terminal A. I’ll fly from Newark if using Terminal C.
I've done the parking spot at Haynes for years. Pick up and drop off are easy and I never had to wait long for a bus to arrive. You might even get a discount through work if an organization (my company gets me 20% off).
P4 isn't a bad option for Terminal C, but you still need to transfer via AirTran so it takes a bit longer (C is only 1 stop away). P4 for Terminal A would be a nightmare.....either bus or AirTran. At least 20-30 mins. The Terminal A AirTran stop is well before the actual terminal, so there is a 8-10 minute walk to get inside.
Terminal A is really nice, but the logistics blow. Flew out of A in December for Florida but they returned us to C. That sucked!
One thing about A. It doesn't seem like wide-body planes are using it. Probably didn't design the gates to accommodate 767s and 777s. So, if you are going to Hawaii or overseas with United, it's the normal C or B.
When you book your Flight on United you have no idea if you will be flying from A or C.
P4 if it’s work travel. Parking Spot/Haynes if it’s personal.
Is that wrong?
But yes, P4 can suck if you’re expecting Terminal C and get A on either leg.

Yes, it is weird setup both in and out (especially if you are headed to 78 west). I also warn people to be careful on the exit ramp if you're coming from the main airport access road; it's a tight curve.
Thanks all, decided we’re probably going to Uber.
