This service isn’t for everyone, but if you’re pressed for time, driving to the airport, and have to sprint to your plane it might be worth it. Valet parking has arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

The cost of the drop-it-and-go convenience is $36 per day plus $18 for every 12-hour period after that.

Here’s how it works: drive to the valet lot adjacent to the Lefferts Boulevard AirTrain JFK Station. Drop off your vehicle, and hop the AirTrain to the terminal from which you’re scheduled to depart. The attendants will take care of the rest. This service operates 24/7. That makes it great for those late evening or early morning international departures.

JFK’s new valet service is part of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey’s $34-million initiative to boost customer care at the Big Apple’s trio of commercial airports: JFK, Newark (EWR), and LaGuardia (LGA).
