Some cities are not easy to park in, and some are verging on the impossible – particularly in Manhattan. But Manhattan is full of car parks, but the rates can sometimes make you want to drive the car into the river. Rack rates are often between $45 and $60 for 24 hours but with a little bit of planning one can find a car park near your destination and print off a coupon for a cheaper stay. I have been using Best Parking, where it is fairly simple to find a car park right next to the hotel for $30 for 24 hours, and sometimes for $25, not bad for downtown Manhattan. The site also lets you find evening parking for $10, which can make an evening much more pleasurable. I am sure that free on street parking can be found in some areas if you know your way around enough, and don’t mind moving the car early in the morning, but for visitors Manhattan parking is worth paying for.
