Parking in New York City, specifically Manhattan can be quite expensive, that is why most New Yorkers opt for using public transportation. Nevertheless, for those times when a car is necessary, budget parking is available.
Street Parking NYC
Street parking does exist in NYC and it might be the most economical choice. To increase the chances of finding a parking spot, look for quiet, residential areas and choose streets rather than avenues. Parking rates and parking durations are posted on each parking meter. Legal parking durations vary from 1 hour to 12 hours. Currently, the parking meter rate in Manhattan is $2.00 per hour. These rates are due to change at the end of June to $2.50 per hour. The rates and regulations do not apply to commercial vehicles.
