What does SNAP Parking cost compared with Newark Liberty's own lots?
| Option | Daily rate | 3 days | 7 days | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SNAP Parking drop-in, no reservation | $24.99 | $74.97 | $174.93 | SNAP Parking FAQ |
| SNAP Parking quoted by ParkingAccess, before taxes and fees | $17.95 median, 5 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
| EWR P6 Economy, drive-up | $35 first 24 hours; as low as $30 prebooked | $105 | $245 | Port Authority |
| EWR P4 Daily garage, drive-up | $60 maximum; as low as $40 prebooked | $180 | $420 | Port Authority |
| EWR Terminal A short-term, drive-up | $65 maximum; as low as $50 prebooked | $195 | $455 | Port Authority |
| EWR Terminals B and C short-term, drive-up | $70 maximum; as low as $50 prebooked | $210 | $490 | Port Authority |
| ARB Parking Newark (EWR), 1.3 miles from SNAP | $12.95 median, 52 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
| Maas Parking Newark (EWR), 1.6 miles from SNAP | $11.95 median, 55 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
| EWR Airport Parking (EWR), 2.8 miles from SNAP | $14.95 median, 113 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
Rates change by date. Neither SNAP nor the Port Authority prints an effective date; both were checked on September 15, 2026, and SNAP says its prices may change without notice. EWR's 3-day and 7-day figures assume each 24 hours is charged at the posted daily maximum.
SNAP's FAQ says the City of Newark requires every parking facility to collect an 18.5% parking tax, and it does not say whether the $24.99 drop-in rate already includes that tax.
Against the gate price at P6, SNAP's drop-in rate is $10.01 a day lower, or $70.07 lower over a week before tax. The three other ParkingAccess lots in the table quoted $3.00 to $6.00 a day below SNAP's median. SNAP runs its own offers on its site. Every Newark option is compared in the Newark Liberty airport parking guide.
How does SNAP's on-demand shuttle reach Newark Liberty's Terminals A, B and C?
ParkingAccess measures SNAP at 1.9 miles straight-line from the airport's map coordinates; the drive is longer. SNAP warns that traffic can cause a slight delay. Its browser shuttle tracker, trackmyshuttle.com/a/snap, needs no app or login and is still in testing.
The pickup points differ by terminal. At Terminals A and C you wait on the baggage level, but at Terminal B SNAP sends you to the parking level and across two streets. The Port Authority's own P6 Economy shuttle stops on Level 1 at each terminal, so follow SNAP's lane numbers rather than the P6 signs.
Arriving at 98 Frelinghuysen Ave.
- Drive to 98 Frelinghuysen Ave., Newark, NJ 07114. SNAP says it is open 24/7, 365 days a year.
- Pull into the driveway and hand your keys to the valet staff, who park the car inside the eight-story garage. You cannot park it yourself.
- Keep the link SNAP sends when you check in, since you can use it to text for your return pickup.
- Board a free SNAP shuttle van for the ride of about 5 minutes to your terminal.
Returning to SNAP from EWR
- Collect your bags at baggage claim.
- Call SNAP at (973) 732-5856, or text through the check-in link, to request a van.
- Walk to your terminal's SNAP pickup point: Terminal A, baggage level, Lane #18; Terminal B, parking level, across two streets to Lane #5; Terminal C, baggage level, center island Lane #1.
- Follow the van at trackmyshuttle.com/a/snap if you want. The Port Authority tells travelers to be careful of anyone not in an official uniform who offers transportation or luggage help.
- At the garage, SNAP says your car will be ready, often started and warmed up in cold weather. Pay any balance in cash, by card, or with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about SNAP Parking?
The median quoted stay was 6 days. The median all-in figure, with taxes and fees, was $26.20 a day, the number to compare against a drop-in visit plus Newark's 18.5% parking tax.
The quoted price held steady. The lowest and highest quoted daily rates for SNAP were the same, $17.95, across the whole window. For scale, EWR Airport Parking (EWR) drew 113 quotes at a $14.95 median over the same dates, and Red Carpet Inn (EWR) drew 59 quotes at a $4.95 median.
What are SNAP Parking's rules on cancellations, oversized vehicles, keys and payment?
| Topic | SNAP Parking's published rule | EWR's own lots |
|---|---|---|
| Reservations | Not required, but the garage fills in peak travel season | Prebook at least 3 hours ahead for the lower rate |
| Cancellation | SNAP prepaid: free until 48 hours before check-in, no refunds after. SNAP Pay Later: cancel any time without a fee | Not published on the parking page |
| Billing | 24-hour increments plus a 2-hour grace period | Short-term lots and P4: half-hour charges up to a 24-hour maximum |
| Keys | 100% valet; you cannot park the car yourself | No valet service listed on the parking page |
| Oversize vehicles | Extra oversize rate, amount not published; monthly parkers exempt | No size charge in the P6 rate table |
| License plates | Car must be registered and insured with proper plates; SNAP may refuse others | Not published |
| Payment | Cash, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express | Cards, E-ZPass, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay |
| Taxes | City of Newark 18.5% parking tax | Not stated on the parking page |
| Longest stay | Up to 30 days; after that the car may be impounded and sold | Over 30 days, register with ABM at (973) 961-6421 or be towed |
| Liability | Terms say parking creates no bailment and SNAP does not assume care, custody or control of the car or its contents | Not published |
| Hours | 24/7, 365 days a year | P6 shuttle runs 24/7 |
| Security | Gated, with CCTV recording the 230,000-square-foot structure 24/7 | Not published |
| Extras | Hand car washes; prices not published | EV charging: 13 Level II ports in P4, 162 in the Terminal A garage |
The grace period matters on a late flight. SNAP's own example: check in at 12:00 PM on day 1 and pick up by 1:59 PM on day 3, and you pay 2 days; pick up at 2:01 PM and you pay 3. The 48-hour and Pay Later rules above apply to reservations made on SNAP's site, so check the cancellation terms wherever you book.
Because SNAP's terms disclaim custody of the car's contents, take valuables with you before you hand over the keys.
Who should book a different Newark Liberty lot instead of SNAP Parking?
