Facility Overview
The Parking Spot at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), situated at 90-01 23rd Avenue in East Elmhurst, Queens, provides a premier, full-service off-airport parking solution for travelers flying out of New York. Operative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, this secure, expansive parking facility features well-organized open-air surface parking bays along with valet drop-off options. Because the main parking areas are open-air with wide maneuvering drive aisles, standard sedans, crossovers, full-size SUVs, and large pickup trucks can comfortably navigate and park without the vertical clearance restrictions typical of downtown multi-story parking structures. Drivers of lifted or high-profile vehicles should consult staff regarding potential oversized-vehicle stalls and guidelines.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To guarantee a smooth departure, book your space online or through The Parking Spot mobile app well in advance, especially during holiday travel surges and peak summer travel periods when LGA parking lots routinely hit capacity. Arrive at the facility at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to the time you wish to arrive at your terminal to account for ticketing, vehicle check-in, and shuttle loading. Keep your mobile confirmation QR code or physical claim ticket handy upon return to expedite checkout and shuttle pickup from the airport ground transportation zone.
