Transportation to the port and parking

Parking is available at the terminals. The parking costs are as follows:

• $12 per weekday (Mon-Thur)
• $20 on weekend days (Fri-Sun & Holidays)
• $100 for a full week

During the summer, it can get very busy, and the rule is first come, first served. On busy days, it's wise to arrive early so you can secure a spot. This might mean that you'll need to park in a lot farther away from the departure terminal.

Going to the Bay Shore train station and taking an Uber from there is also possible. Walking is also a viable option.
