It used to be that passengers looking for parking coupons have to scour countless glossies and broadsheets to find the rare (but frequently measly) discount coupon. These days, passengers trying to find the best deals and reduced rates for parking at JFK Airport simply have to search the web for a few minutes, choose from the impressive line-up of parking options, and book their parking long before their scheduled flight.
With online connectivity, people now have the ability to choose the best parking at JFK Airport and to book that choice easily, in just a few minutes - no calls or legwork needed. Things couldn’t get any better than this, right? Wrong. The Smart JFK Parking app just raised the bar and made reserving parking online simpler and more convenient than ever before.
Developed by SmartPark JFK, a top-notch parking provider at Kennedy airport, the 'Smart' app allows travelers to login to the SmartPark mobile site and reserve JFK Airport parking even without access to a computer through their mobile phones only. Released last autumn, the Smart mobile app is shaping up to be an advanced customer assistance application targeted at time-bound city-dwellers.
"Today, more than ever, choices are plentiful but great service is not," quips Adam Smith, Director for Operations at SmartPark JFK. The Smart Park JFK mobile app "exemplifies SmartPark JFK’s broader commitment to the consumer, always thinking of ways to improve the customer’s experience."

The main thing going for this app, of course, is the computer-less mobile reservation function. It also features on-site hosting which means that, unlike other travel apps, there’s no need to buy the app or to download it to your cell phone. Since it runs on SmartPark JFK's servers, it won't be eating up a lot of your cell's battery time.
The Smart app is extremely well-received among the most geeky 25-42 age bracket and also making inroads into the over 50 age groups. SmartPark JFK estimates that about 10% of all JFK long-term parking transactions are processed via the Smart app.
The obvious disadvantage to this app that immediately comes to mind is that it doesn't provide any other choices at all to the passenger. All mobile reservations are limited to SmartPark JFK’s own parking services exclusively. This isn't necessarily an onerous arrangement - users in a hurry can conveniently reserve their parking spot in a couple of minutes from any location as long as they carry their mobile phones with them. In comparison, it would require them 10 minutes minimum to wade through the different offers, if they’re able to see the sites of the other facilities providing parking at JFK Airport. The SmartPark JFK location in Queens has just recently been established and has some of the cheapest rates in the industry.
However, for those with the inclination, try to see the services and rates that the competing parking sites and hotels near the airport are offering. Whether you're using the Smart app or your old laptop for browsing, the goal is to locate the cheapest airport parking or the best bargains available - there’s plenty of these, as you probably know - and place your reservation beforehand. See what other users are posting about the facility you're planning to do business with. Apps and PCs are great tools when you're on the lookout for the best parking at JFK Airport but in the end, it's the feedback (pertaining to these facilities) of previous customers like you that really matter.
