JFK Parking Map

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is located in the Jamaica, Queens neighborhood approximately 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan. From an airport being developed in a marshy area in Jamaica Bay, today it services 30+ million passengers a year. JFK was built with efficiency in mind, connecting travelers from Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Long Island to the airport via a network of bordering highways. These highways include Belt Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway, Nassau Expressway, and the JFK Expressway. In addition to JFK's excellent access to these highways, it also integrates seamlessly with NYC's Public Transportation system.

If you are driving to the airport and want to know where to park near JFK, there are several off-airport parking providers within 5 miles of the airport. Most independent airport parking services include airport shuttle transportation in their daily rate pricing. In the rare case that they do not offer free transportation to JFK's terminals, it's a good idea to note where the nearest subway or AirTrain station is located. Finding a parking space near the airport will save you on parking rates whether you are looking for covered, uncovered, self-park, or valet parking.
