When searching for parking at Ballina Airport, you have four secure options to choose from. These include car parks with shuttle services, and those within walking distance. The main difference between these car parks is that three are owned and managed by the airport, while one is operated by a private company.
All options provide excellent security, but they vary in rates, proximity to the terminals, and whether they offer open-air or undercover parking. To ensure you get the best rates, Flyparks recommends booking your parking space online whenever possible. Despite its smaller size, Ballina Airport has limited parking, making it just as challenging to find a spot as at larger airports like Sydney or Melbourne.
There are three options to choose between for car parks within walking distance: General Parking, Reserved Parking, and Premium Parking. All three are only a short walk from the terminal and charge different rates. There are no hourly parking rates for the Reserved or Premium Parking lots, as they charge on a 24-hour basis. The General Car Park, however, does charge hourly ratings starting at $6.00 for 1 - 2 hours, and $20.00 for 1 day.
You cannot book your parking online at the General Car Park or the Premium Car Park, you must pay at the payment machine (with cash) or boom gate (by credit card) before leaving.There’s a change machine near the front entry of the terminal building. The Reserved Car Park accepts online bookings up to 10 minutes before arrival.
Arrival: You simply drive to and enter your car park. On arrival, your car's vehicle number will be recorded.
Return: On return to the airport, customers can either pay upon exit at the boom gate with their credit card or at the two payment stations located inside the terminal where travellers can enter their car's licence plate number, and pay by cash if necessary.
The General Car Park is one of the official car parks at Ballina Byron Airport and is just a short 3-minute walk to the terminal. The fenced car park is open from 24/7, and is equipped with license plate recognition, so your vehicle number will be recognised and keep track of your parking duration so you can pay upon return.
Upon return, travellers can pay with a credit card at the exit gate, or with cash at the payment station with the Arrivals & Departures Hall. This car park is a great option for Ballina Airport long-term parking as prices are only $20.00 a day. Currently, the General Car Park is only taking drive-up bookings, therefore it can not be booked online.
The Reserved Car Park is another official Byron Bay car park and is the only car park available for online bookings. There are no hourly rates available for this car park, meaning whether you park for 3 hours or 24 hours, you will be charged $25.00, and $25.00 additionally for each day thereafter.
Bookings can be made up to 10 minutes before arrival for an open-air lot, minutes away from the terminals.
The Premium Car Park is an official Byron Bay car park offering covered parking. It is the most expensive parking option out of the three car parks at $30.00 a day, but it remains a favourite amongst travellers due to its proximity to the terminal. Simply drive up, take a ticket, park your car, and pay upon exit at the gate with a credit card or with cash at the payment machine within the 'Arrivals & Departures' Hall.
Currently, the Premium Car Park is only available for drive-up bookings, and therefore can not be booked online. Accessible parking bays are available at this car park, and travellers with a disabled parking permit displayed will not receive a parking charge for the duration of their stay.
The airport provides designated areas for passenger pick-ups and drop-offs directly in front of the terminal.
Vehicles can remain in the pick-up/drop-off area for up to two minutes while passengers are unloaded. Due to aviation security regulations, vehicles must not be left unattended at any time. Any unattended vehicle will be subject to an immediate fine.
You may collect passengers waiting at the front of the terminal building only if they are all kerbside and ready to depart with their baggage. Parking is not permitted outside the terminal at any time. Travellers looking to be picked up from Ballina Airport in a Taxi, Uber, Ola, or Didi, can not utilise the Pickup and Drop Off Zone. Rather, passengers must meet their driver in the Rideshare Zone to the left upon walking out of the Arrivals Hall.

However, it is not recommended to park here for extended periods of time, as your car may be subject to tow. In the past, some travellers have additionally found free parking on Southern Cross Drive, near the depot of Ballina Shire Council. It has been noted that parking here can be extremely dangerous, as passengers have to walk on the road to access their vehicles, and there is a blind corner obstructing passengers from the full sight of incoming traffic.
