Monthly Parking | Park It! Guides

Your Garage Holiday Tipping. It’s all part of the NYC parking garage experience. 

$25? $100? How much is right? Your car is probably your second most valuable asset after your house, so under-tipping could be a bad choice. To find out the trends for monthly parkers, we surveyed one dozen NYC garages on December 9, 2011 and asked our fellow parkers how they approach holiday topping for parking garages.

Turns out that garages anticipate you will tip based on where the garage is located and how you use your car.

SOME ADVICE FOR 2011

• Midtown East, Upper West Side, & Upper East Side: $25 – $100 per employee, with Managers getting the higher end of the range.  In the more affluent areas like E80s near 5th Ave and Park Aves, $100 per employee is considered ‘average’.
• Busy Midtown Garage: $30 – $40 per employee is the average

As of December 9th, the NYC garages were just starting to receive tips so they couldn’t say if people were tipping more or less.
