All three airports have long-term parking options for people who need to leave their cars at the airport while they travel. The rates at Newark and JFK accrue in eight-hour intervals, with a maximum charge of $18 per day. LaGuardia Airport charges $66 for the first two days and $18 per day after the second day.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Exploring Montego Bay

Flights from New York arrive at the Sangster International Airport, which is 3 miles from the center of Montego Bay. Most of the area's hotels and resorts offer airport shuttle service to their guests. If you don't want to use your hotel's shuttle services, you can get to Montego Bay by taxicab or rental car. JUTA Taxi and JCAL Taxi are the airport's authorized taxicab companies. You can reserve a cab at the Authorized Airport Taxi desk, just outside of the Customs exit. The airport also houses five rental car companies: Hertz, Budget, Avis, Thrifty and Island Car Rental. You can reserve your rental car in advance using the Orbitz.com website.

The Caribbean climate is one of the many reasons people travel to Montego Bay. The city is always warm; temperatures don't fluctuate much throughout the year. During the hottest months, July and August, average high temperatures reach the low 90s, and average low temperatures drop into the low 70s. During the coldest time of year, from January through March, average high temperatures hover in the mid-80s, and average low temperatures stay in the high 60s. The rainy season runs from May through the end of October. However, September and October are the wettest months.

When you've had enough of the beach for the day, you can take a stroll down Gloucester Avenue. The street features over 60 shops and over 35 bars and restaurants. You can also browse Harbour Street, which is known for its open-air craft market. It's a great place to find handmade souvenirs. History buffs should visit Fort Montego, the Greenwood Great House and the Rose Hall Great House.
