Garages offer a secure, convenient place to park during events or while running errands. City Parking manages over 150 parking garages in New York City. Here are some of the perks of parking in the same garage every day:
Reduced Commute Time
Using the same parking garage every day helps you shorten daily commutes. Parking in a designated lot prevents you from having to spend time finding appropriate street parking near your destination or locating different garages. This allows you to arrive on time to appointments, work, and special events. It also helps reduce traffic congestion.
To simplify your commute, you can choose to reserve a space in the garage. City Parking offers a loyalty program that gives you access to monthly parking reservation services. You can set up autopay systems to renew your pass each month; this may reduce the time you spend paying for a new ticket every day.
Access to Parking Accommodations
Some drivers may require accessible parking or vehicle accommodations for larger cars, such as wider parking spaces. Choosing a garage and making it your designated parking place allows you to have access to these features every time you park. Some garages offer electric vehicle chargers; this allows you to charge your car when you are at work or running errands. Using the same garage helps prevent you from having to find multiple garages that offer the varied accommodations you require.
Easy Navigation
Garages may have different layouts; this includes varying locations for entryways, exits, stairways, and staff parking. Using the same garage allows you to become more familiar with the layout, making it easy to navigate on a daily basis. Knowing where the phones and emergency exits are allows you to quickly leave the structure or call for help if needed. We utilize clear signage and arrows to help drivers navigate the garage.
Familiarity With Garage Operations
Some garages vary in their operating procedures. Parking in the same location allows you to learn the garage’s policies. Operating procedures include:
- Hours: Some garages may only be open within specific timeframes or have spaces available for general parking after business hours. Choose a garage that accommodates your work schedule and travel times. Our garages in the Financial District and Manhattan are open 24 hours, offering professionals a place to park during overnight shifts.
- Entrance and exit procedures: Garages may utilize self-serve stations or have staff stationed at the entrance. Being familiar with how the garage works allows for a smoother entry process; this helps the line of cars move along more quickly.
- Payment system: Payment systems vary according to the garage. Some may accept cash and card payments, while others utilize app integration, allowing customers to pay online. Knowing the payment system helps you to be prepared with the correct payment method.
Parking passes also differ depending on the garage. If the garage uses physical parking passes, you may need to display the pass in your windshield. Some parking places utilize license plate recognition technology to recognize returning customers. Other garages will send you an in-app notification when your time is up. Knowing the system simplifies the parking process and prevents you from having to learn or research new rules every time you park. This also helps prevent parking tickets or fines from accidental violations.
Find a Parking Garage
For additional protection, find a designated garage with onsite parking attendants and security cameras; this helps reduce the chances of vandalism or theft. Our garages are clean and well-maintained, with staff following regular cleaning and inspection schedules.
