• LAZ Tangram Self Park, 37-25 College Point Blvd: monthly sedan parking is $360, with 24/7 access and in-and-out privileges. SUVs, crossovers, and minivans pay more. There is a one-time $25 access card fee, and monthly terms run from the 1st of the month with no prorating.

Icon Parking, Prince Street

37-20 Prince St. Open 24/7, with online bookings from $5. It is about a 9-minute walk to Flushing Town Hall.

NewYork-Presbyterian Queens lot

Booth Memorial Avenue, between Main Street and 141st Street. Open 24 hours. It is self-park, but attendants may valet your car at no extra charge when the lot fills. Pay at the machines before you return to your car; they take cards and cash.

City-run municipal lots and EV charging

NYC DOT runs two lots downtown, and they are the cheapest off-street parking in Flushing. Both are metered, unattended, and closed overnight.

Lot	Where	Rate	Hours	Spaces
Flushing #4	Northern Blvd, between College Point Blvd and Prince St	$1.50/hour, $12 max, 15-hour limit	Mon to Sat, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.	93
Flushing #2	135-23 39th Ave	$3/hour, 3-hour limit	Mon to Sat, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.	82

• How to pay: quarters, dollar coins, credit cards, or the ParkNYC app. The ParkNYC zone is 469238 for Flushing #4 and 469232 for Flushing #2.
• No overnight parking: the lots close at the posted time. A car left after hours can get a ticket, and there is no security.
• Sundays: DOT lists metered hours as Monday to Saturday. Check the posted sign before you park on a Sunday.
• Permits: Flushing #4 sells quarterly permits for $300. Call 311 to apply.

Street parking and meters in Flushing

Street meters in Downtown Flushing cost $2.50 an hour, and the sign on each block sets the time limit. Downtown Flushing is in the city’s Zone 1 meter area, the same rate as Downtown Brooklyn and Jamaica.

• Paying: use the muni-meter on the block or the ParkNYC app.
• Time limits: short limits are common on busy commercial blocks. Read the whole sign, including the hours and days it applies.
• Sundays: street meters are free on Sundays under city law. Other rules on the sign, like No Standing, still apply.
• Residential blocks: many have street cleaning rules. Check the alternate side parking status and 2026 calendar before you leave a car for the day.
• Fire hydrants: keep 15 feet clear on each side, even if the curb isn’t painted. A hydrant ticket is $115. See our fire hydrant ticket guide.

Street spots on Main Street and the blocks around it fill early. If you’re circling for more than a few minutes, the city lots or SkyView usually cost less than a ticket.

Monthly parking in Flushing

A monthly garage spot in Flushing typically costs $330 to $400, a fraction of Manhattan prices. Marketplace listings average about $332 a month, with garages averaging about $381, and Tangram’s self-park garage charges $360 for a sedan.

What changes the price

• Vehicle size: sedan rates are the lowest. SUVs, crossovers, and minivans usually pay more.
• Access: 24/7 access with in-and-out privileges costs more than daytime-only or overnight-only plans.
• Service: valet garages tend to cost more than self-park.
• Fees and terms: watch for one-time access card fees (Tangram charges $25) and contracts that bill a full month no matter when you start.

The city’s Flushing #4 lot also sells quarterly permits for $300, but the lot closes at 10 p.m., so it only works for daytime parking.

Questions to ask before you sign

1. What is the height limit, and is there a charge for larger vehicles?
2. Can I come and go 24/7, and are there hours when I can’t get my car?
3. Are there setup, card, or key fees?
4. How long is the rate guaranteed, and how much notice do I need to cancel?

We pass your request to a parking operator so they can reply to you directly. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Overnight parking in Flushing

For overnight parking, use a private garage. Both city lots close at 10 p.m. and don’t allow cars to stay overnight.

Garage	24-hour rate	Notes
NewYork-Presbyterian Queens lot	$20	Open 24 hours, meant for hospital patients and visitors
Flushing Commons South Garage	$24.37	Confirm overnight rules with the attendant first
Flushing Commons Lot	$26	Surface lot in the center of downtown
The Shops at SkyView garage	$27	Call the mall at (718) 460-2000 about regular overnight parking
Icon Parking, Prince Street	Check posted rates	Open 24/7
LAZ Tangram Self Park	Monthly from $360	Open 24 hours, with 24/7 monthly access

Street parking overnight is allowed where the signs permit it, but check for street cleaning first. Our alternate side parking page shows whether rules are in effect today. If you need overnight parking every night, a monthly spot is almost always cheaper than paying daily.

Where to park by destination

Pick your parking by where you’re headed. Downtown Flushing is compact, but crossing Main Street during busway hours adds time.

Heading to	Best parking	Why
Main Street shops and restaurants	Flushing #2 lot, Flushing Commons, Queens Crossing	Short walk, and you avoid driving on the busway
7 train or LIRR to Manhattan	Flushing #4 lot ($12 max) or SkyView Early Bird ($10)	Cheapest all-day options for commuters, weekdays only for the Early Bird
The Shops at SkyView and BJ’s	SkyView garage	$6 for 3 hours, or free with a qualifying purchase
Flushing Commons and Tangram	Their own garages	Parking is in the same complex
NewYork-Presbyterian Queens	Hospital lot on Booth Memorial Ave	$20 maximum for 24 hours
Flushing Town Hall	Icon Parking on Prince Street or the Flushing #4 lot	Both are a short walk away
Mets games and the US Open	SkyView garage	Event rates apply, and spaces fill early

Commuting to Manhattan? Flushing is the last stop on the 7 train and has an LIRR station on the Port Washington line. Parking here and riding in can be much cheaper than driving into Manhattan and paying its garage rates. Closer to Midtown? See our guide to parking in Long Island City. Heading to Brooklyn?

How to save on parking in Flushing

These seven habits can cut what you pay to park in Flushing.

1. Validate at SkyView. Three free hours with $75 at BJ’s or $40 at Skyfoods.
2. Arrive early on weekdays. SkyView’s Early Bird is $10 for up to 12 hours if you enter between 6 and 9 a.m.
3. Use the city lot’s daily cap. Flushing #4 never charges more than $12 for the day.
4. Watch the rate jumps. Garage rates rise at set times, often after 3 hours. Leaving a few minutes earlier can save the next tier.
5. Compare online prices. Booking a garage online often costs less than the drive-up price.
6. Plan around game days. Mets games and the US Open push up nearby rates and fill garages early.
7. Skip the busway. One camera ticket costs more than a day of parking.
