Parking in New York City can be a challenge. Most of the prime spots on the street get filled-up pretty quickly and you need to know about special New York City parking rules like "alternate side of the street parking days."
Fortunately, there are more than 2,300 parking facilities in the City. While they are licensed by the City's Department of Consumer Affairs, their prices are not regulated. Overnight parking typically costs $20 - $28 a day. All parking garages and lots in Manhattan charge a 10.25% tax and an 8% surcharge. Many of them will also surcharge oversized and luxury vehicles. Note that not all locations are open 24-hours.
