When I saw the headline in my email, Three New York City Area Parking Companies Offer Discounts to smart fortwo Owners, the first thing that came to my mind was “well of course, the smart is ½ the size of a typical car.” I decided to check and the smart fortwo is 61 inches wide and 106 inches long. The 2009 Toyota Camry is 71.7 inches wide and 189.2 inches long. So, the smart fortwo is not ½ the size of a typical car but smart fortwo owners can get parking for ½ the price at some NYC lots.

“Meyers Parking first offered half price parking to smart fortwo owners beginning last September, and the program was renewed for 2009. Meyers Parking is the official parking garage of Madison Square Garden, the New York Rangers, New York Knicks and New York Liberty. Meyers also has the largest public garages in Times Square, on the Upper East Side and the Empire State Building area.” (Source: PR Newswire)

The other parking companies offering a discount are Icon Parking Systems and AviStar Airport Parking. There have been 26,000 smart fortwos sold in the U.S. in the last year and about 15% of those are in the metro New York area.
