ABC parking is $9/day (all-in, no parking tax) if you make a reservation here and print the coupon. That's the cheapest place I've found. I've used them many times. They are reliable, though their van seems to be a bit slower of late.

That said, for 9 bucks, there's still probably not a better alternative (unless one-way car rental works out cheaper -- price it, for 12-14 days, it MIGHT be cheaper if you play the car rental discount codes).

which means you have to take the escalator up a few levels or down when arriving to the level below Baggage Claim. At T-C its still at the 2nd island- no change. It was a bit of a surprise as the last time I used them (usually I was dropped off and picked up by a family member) they dropped me at the Departure Level of the Term, this time I had 2 checked bags and my carry-on, it was a good thing 1 of the bags was my Garmet bag w/o wheels , so it was doable.
I was taking the car in and out as I was passing thru EWR 2 days in a row and they simply let me prepay for the 3 days so I didnt have to wait and pay each time.
and YES make sure you make ares and print the coupon for the $9 via Longtermparking.com otherwise its $10 (still a bargain).
They are still top notch in my book

I certainly thank you for the tip -- they've been a cut above every other airport parking lot I use.And whoever you use at EWR, just be glad you don't need to park at JFK. It's truly frightening there. I'm personally glad JetBlue raised their fares so I'm not tempted to use that airport. And I just hope I never need a nonstop to Pakistan or such.

Hotel Park & Fly
A number of hotels near the airport have room rates that include free parking for 1-2 weeks. Generally, the rates are only $20-30 higher than the discounted internet rate which does not include parking. If you're leaving on an early morning flight, it's much more convenient to drive in the night before and just take the hotel shuttle to the airport. If you're parking for a week, the total cost (including room) is sometimes comparable to parking for the week at the airport. If you're a member of the hotel's frequent stay program, you get stay/night credit for the stay.

I dont know of any Hotel that will let me stay and park for $79-99 including tax. And if there is 1 I highly doubt that I would want to stay in such aplace , even for just 1 night.
