About this Location

Facility Overview

The Parking Spot at 4099 Genesee Street provides premier off-airport parking directly serving the Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) in Cheektowaga, NY. Operating as a secure, full-service surface parking facility, it features both open-air and covered parking options configured for smooth entry, check-in, and rapid vehicle transfer. Because the vast majority of the facility consists of open-air surface stalls with generous aisle widths, the lot comfortably accommodates standard sedans, compact cars, light commercial vans, large SUVs, and full-size pickup trucks like the Ford F-150. Drivers operating lifted trucks or vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers can park safely in open-air sections without low-clearance worries, while covered areas clearly indicate height restrictions at entry points.
