Long-term parking at Australian Airports is a convenient and often cost-effective way to leave your car while you’re away. If you’re flying out, you’ll likely need to park your car for at least 24 hours—possibly longer if it’s a weekend or holiday. Luckily, there are plenty of options in and around the airport to park your vehicle safely and securely without breaking the bank. Here’s everything you need to know about long-term parking at Australia’s airports.

How much does it cost for long-term airport parking in Australia?

The price of long-term parking will depend on the airport, location, and the duration you’re parking. Most people find long-term parking cheaper than short-term parking, but that isn’t always the case.

For example, Sydney Airport charges between $100 and $180 weekly for long-term parking in some locations (but closer to $300 at other locations). Meanwhile, Brisbane Airport charges up to $500 per month for long-term parking, depending on location and duration.

Are there any alternatives?

If you’re not a fan of long-term airport parking, there are different ways to park your car at the airport. You can book a space on an app like Parkhound or the airport’s dedicated parking operator. Many companies offer this service and provide users with access to their vehicles 24/7. You can even use an app to pay for your stay! We have found this to be less expensive and still conveniently located nearby.

Another option is booking a space situated around the airport. This usually involves making an appointment beforehand, but it will allow you to negotiate rates and terms directly with the owner of that specific lot – which comes in handy if you’re looking for something less expensive than what’s offered online.

Where to find long-term parking at Sydney Airport?

As you can imagine, there are many options for long-term parking at Sydney Airport.

All three are within walking distance of the terminals and offer secure parking with shuttles running regularly to take you back and forth when needed.

If you are heading out on an international flight, your best option is to head to level four (T4) or level six (T6) of the Qantas International Terminal car park, where there’s plenty of space for your vehicle. It’s only a short walk down to terminal one/two levels, where you’ll find check-in desks, baggage claim areas, and all other facilities required throughout a trip!
