I'd like to bring my Jeep and just Street Park it in the UES or worst case scenario garage it in an outer borough.
I dont need the car daily, but for the first couple months its be nice to have something to pick up furniture in, drop stuff off in storage, and when I want to snowboard/visit people beyond the city.
Im getting **** from my family though. Wanted to ask:
1) For my purposes & location, does it make sense to bring it to start or not & just rent whenever?
2) Whats the best, cost effective place to rent?
-I saw enterprise car share, maven, and budget.
Frankly, I dont see how renting is cheaper than bringing my own vehicle-even if I had to spend $200 to garage.
I cant imagine car insurance being that high, moreso if I keep it registered in VA for the time being.
Short cab or subway ride to get it
if you are willing to invest the time to move your car around and find street parking every day, then so be it.
Agreed. I lived in the UES a number of years ago, but left my car at my parents house in NNJ. It wasn't worth the hassle of street parking, not the expense of garage parking. Uber and car rental will be enough to get you by.
There will be days where ASP is suspended and you can leave it for two weeks unmoved
This site actually suggests there's something way up by the broadway bridge for close to $200. No idea how accurate it is, but it should give you some idea of what's out out there.

We ended up selling her vehicle and then using budget rental car on like 87th and lex/3rd most of the time moving forward. Just an FYI, they know they have you and you will pay for it.
Not in the UES, but in Brooklyn I have found a few garages if you don't want 24/7 access.
I'd keep the car registered in my current state for the first year. I heard most people do that...
32% have no car and just take mass transit or walk
24% have no car and rent
20% own car and pay outrageous fees to park it
18% own car and spend several hours moving the vehicle a week
6% are hermits that never leave the home
I know the best option here, but do you?

Now you've put it into terms he can understand.
Bring all your furniture in 1 shot and take mass transit to visit friends, renting a car if its the only way. You'll pay more in 1 month of parking than you will all year renting a car when you need it.

I've seen garages in Brooklyn for $200 a month.
I lived in Hell's Kitchen prior, and used the car Monday-Friday so I was able to play the street parking game. I also lived by a school too, so it was no parking 8am-6pm M-F, which for me was perfect, as I was out of the spot by 730, and back in the area around 615. There were nights where I breezed and found a spot ASAP, and then frustrating nights where I spent north of 45 minutes searching. I'd imagine if not using it daily, it'd become a massive headache moving on the right days, then you have the weeks like we have now with snow all over causing more chaos.
Good luck.

Only day I love NYC drives/trips
To the OP, if you love your car and love driving, it's worth the $$ to park it.
NYC is a scary place to move and it's different from
Everything else kinda, having your personal vehicle will be a nice comfort item for you if you like it a lot and don't mind Parking it 30 mins away by subway etc for $200 etc etc
These guys saying rent the car are logically correct, but it's a personal preference, some people love the freedom and comfort of knowing they have a vehicle ready and owned 24/7/365 parked close by.
I have a car in Brooklyn, with alternate side parking 2 days a week. I don't have to move the car those mornings; I find a spot that is good for the next alternate side day.
I don't get the people, like in that video, who sit in their car multiple days a week. Do they not work?

Yes, Brooklyn.
