Eric DawsonByEric Dawson Parking

Drivers asking “is there parking at Newark Penn Station?” can use two nearby NJ Transit daily-and-permit lots: Lot 1 at 160 Edison Pl and Lot 2 at 986 Raymond Blvd.

At 160 Edison Pl, Lot 1 has 400 standard spaces and costs $253/MONTH for residents and non-residents as of September 2026. Lot 2 has 400 standard spaces and costs $293/MONTH for residents and non-residents; both permit parking 24/7 during evenings, nights, and weekends.

Where Are the Official Station Lots?

Yes. The official lots are nearby.

Lot 1 is at 160 Edison Pl, while Lot 2 is at 986 Raymond Blvd in Newark. Each location offers daily and permit parking rather than on-street parking.

  • Lot 1: Address 160 Edison Pl, Standard spaces 400, Accessible spaces 8, Monthly rate $253 for residents and non-residents
  • Lot 2: Address 986 Raymond Blvd, Standard spaces 400, Accessible spaces 10, Monthly rate $293 for residents and non-residents

Separate LAZ purchase pages are listed for each lot through the station’s parking information.

Nearby garages and valet lots appear on third-party reservation services, but they are separate from the two lots NJ Transit identifies for the station. Drivers heading to Raymond Plaza can find the station between Raymond Boulevard and Market Street, one block east of Route 21.

Is There Parking at Newark Penn Station?

Yes. Newark Penn Station has parking available. Drivers can choose station-listed facilities or nearby private listings. The comparison separates official monthly parking information from displayed third-party starting prices.

NJ Transit advises customers to verify rates, hours, and other details with the local operator before parking.

Third-party rows show displayed starting prices rather than official Newark Penn Station parking rates. Nearby listing services offer travelers another way to arrange parking before arrival.

Official parking facilities use the posted parking limits. Listed lot addresses direct drivers to the official facilities.

SpotHero offers advance reservations near the station. Commuter parking is listed at $17-$25, weekend parking at $20-$40, event parking at $25-$40, and overnight parking at $22-$36. Those ranges are displayed third-party categories rather than the official monthly charges in the table.

Community reports describe individual late-parking experiences rather than station rules. Several users found filtering ParkFast listings necessary to locate lots open for their departure time, while one reported parking near Penn until around 1 AM without problems.

Newark Penn Station is accessible and has bike racks or lockers. Ticket office hours run from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Sunday. Fourteen ticket vending machines are available. Amtrak, PATH, and Newark Light Rail also serve the station.

What Do Newark Penn Station Parking Rates Include?

Official monthly pricing separates the station-listed lots, with Lot 2 charging both groups $293 per month (NJ Transit).

Monthly figures are the official published rates for the two lots, which NJ Transit classifies as daily and permit parking. Rates therefore identify recurring permit costs rather than a posted price for a single arrival. Pricing on the station listing does not include daily drive-up rates for either location.

Third-Party Starting Prices

SpotHero displays separate starting prices for reservable parking near the station, rather than NJ Transit station-lot rates. Its listing shows 986 Raymond Boulevard Valet Lot about 0.2 miles, or approximately four minutes, from the station, with a starting price of $23.32. For nearby alternatives, South Garage at 87 Edison Place starts at $15.99, while the 388 Market Street valet lot starts at $18.02.

Another SpotHero-listed option, One Gateway Center Garage at 1143 Raymond Plaza West, has a displayed starting price of $36.04. Mulberry Lot Self Park at 95 Mulberry Street is also listed from $18.02.

Rate Ranges and Verification

Newark Penn Station parking rates on SpotHero range from $17 to $25 for commuter parking and $20 to $40 for weekend parking. Official monthly permit prices are separate from these listed offers.

Before choosing a lot, confirm the current charge, operating hours, and parking details with the local operator. Direct confirmation matters because NJ Transit says parking details may change without notice.

How to Reserve Parking Near Newark Penn Station

Separate LAZ purchase links serve the two NJ Transit-listed lots, while SpotHero accepts advance bookings for nearby private garages and valet lots in its listings.

Start by deciding whether a station-listed lot or a third-party facility better suits the trip. The operator’s pages are the direct route for the station lots, while third-party reservations cover other facilities.

Reservation Steps

  1. Confirm current availability and the terms presented by the operator before committing to the official option.
  2. Call the contact number listed for the particular lot to verify details.
  3. Ask about current hours, charges, and other parking details that affect the planned stay.
  4. Search SpotHero when comparing reservable garages and valet lots near the station.
  5. Complete a third-party reservation through the service after reviewing its displayed location and trip details.

Compare each listing’s address, facility type, and walking estimate before selecting an alternative. SpotHero identifies Three Gateway Garage, South Garage, a valet lot on 388 Market Street, and a lot on 246 Market Street near the station. Those listings are separate from the two NJ Transit-listed lots, though third-party services also list the two station lots.

Reservations made through SpotHero use that service’s displayed offer rather than the official station listing. Before departing, check the reservation confirmation against the facility address selected for the trip. Finally, keep the operator contact information available if arrival plans change.

The used 2014 Honda Fit I have owned since 2019 had 61,000 miles in 2019, so it has taught me that optimism is not a parking plan. For reserving parking near Newark Penn Station, I would check whether a booking confirms entry and what cancellation terms apply before depending on it.

Newark Penn Station Overnight Parking: What to Confirm

Drivers should confirm overnight arrangements with the listed operator before leaving a vehicle overnight.

Confirm the Overnight Details

For an intended overnight period, ask which terms apply; the response provides current details for the planned arrival and departure.

Reservation terms deserve separate confirmation for an overnight stay. Ask whether advance booking is required, whether a booking secures entry, and which cancellation or refund rules apply. Check the maximum stay, in-and-out privileges, and the process that applies if the vehicle remains longer than planned.

Vehicle-specific questions should cover height limits, electric-vehicle charging, and any conditions that apply to accessible parking. Payment questions should cover accepted methods, attendant hours, and the lost-ticket process. Written answers help match the planned vehicle and length of stay to the lot’s current terms.

Plan for Arrival and Return

Final confirmation should go to the operator at (212) 265-2239 before an overnight visit.

Arrival planning should account for the time needed to park, secure the vehicle, and reach the station. Return planning should account for the expected pickup time and any change to the travel schedule. Documentation reduces uncertainty if a driver needs to clarify the agreed terms later.

Before departure, record the location selected, the operator contact, and the terms confirmed for the planned stay. Direct verification supports a smoother overnight arrival and retrieval schedule. Reliable planning begins with the lot operator rather than a general station parking listing or app before parking overnight at Newark Penn Station.

What Community Reports Say About Late Parking

Community accounts describe some late parking near Newark Penn Station as workable during individual visits, forum posters report.

Taken together, the posts point to different personal experiences with timing, lot selection, and nearby facilities across separate community discussions and individual accounts instead of one shared late-parking routine.

Practical planning still begins with the location a driver intends to use, because reports describe different results for individual drivers at different nearby facilities. Late arrivals appeared in the discussion as a reason to check ParkFast listings by departure time, rather than assuming every location fit every schedule.

Readers weighing a Newark Penn Station parking garage against another nearby lot can use those anecdotes to frame questions before choosing where to park. Individual reports remain tied to the conditions each poster encountered, including the time, selected facility, and route through the neighborhood during a single trip rather than repeated daily use.

What Else to Know Before Driving to the Station

Drivers should enter Newark Penn Station in navigation rather than using a nearby garage address. The station’s postal address is Newark, NJ 07102.

Accessibility at Newark Penn Station includes an accessible-station designation. Travelers who need accessible parking should contact the parking operator before travel to confirm space availability and any arrival procedures. Station access and parking access are handled as separate services.

Tickets and Rail Connections

Fourteen ticket vending machines are listed at the station across Tracks 1 through 5. A ticket office at Raymond Plaza is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Monday through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The main waiting room is also listed at the station. Hours are the same for each day category.

Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, and Raritan Valley trains serve the station. Passengers can use the station for regional and intercity connections. A parking plan should account for the specific service and departure location.

A five-year, $190 million renovation and improvement project is underway at Newark Penn Station. Construction activity makes checking current access instructions sensible before driving to Raymond Plaza. Station facilities are on the Raymond Boulevard side.

Before setting out, confirm the current daily charge, overnight terms, maximum stay, vehicle-height limits, payment methods, reservation rules, attendant hours, electric-vehicle charging, lost-ticket procedures, and in-and-out privileges with the lot operator. Parking arrangements work best when the selected facility, train service, arrival time, and return time are checked together before travel. That preparation keeps station navigation and parking decisions aligned.
