SmartPark JFK is more like a hotel for cars than a parking lot. Like a hotel, the lot guarantees you a spot if you reserve in advance. And, in addition to keeping vehicles safe, the staff warms and cools them depending on the weather, ensuring that they're ready when owners pick them up.

Vehicle owners are treated to a similar degree of care. Once they've dropped their car off with a valet—and helped themselves to some complimentary tea, coffee, or hot chocolate—a driver helps them stow their luggage aboard an airport shuttle. The shuttle then takes a quick, approximately 7-minute trip to the appropriate airport terminal. Once clients return from their travels, they simply catch the same shuttle back to the lot, where they can run in slow motion to happily reunite with their car.
