The options for car parking Mackay Airport are a bit limited. If you’re planning on driving to the airport in your car, you have the choice of one of three, equally safe and secure parking facilities. Designed with passenger convenience in mind, each of the on-site car parks is within easy walking distance of the airport itself and can be booked online.
Mackay Airport owns and operates three on-site car parks, each with their own security features, specials, distance to the airport terminals, and competitive rates. There are a range of different options and rates on offer, so you’re sure to find something that suits your needs.
Arrival: On arrival in the car park, the gate will automatically recognize your license plate if you booked online. If not, tap the credit card used for the booking at the entry gate. Keep this card safe for exiting.
If paying later, take a ticket at the entry gate and keep it secure for payment upon return.
Return: Walk back to the car park, drive to the exit gate and tap the same credit card you used for entry to exit.
Should you still need to pay for your ticket, use one of the two payment terminals near the terminals and Ibis Mackay Hotel. They accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
The Long-Term Car Park at Mackay Airport offers the most affordable Mackay Airport parking cost but also remains the farthest from terminals. Despite the 3-5 minute walk, this open-air car park is perfect for the budget-conscious traveller as Mackay airport parking fees start at $22.00 for 24 hours and $162.00 for 1 week.
Travellers can park here for their first 15 minutes free if they plan to only pick up or drop off friends and family. On top of this, you are only a few minutes away from the terminals when you park at this car park and can save considerably by booking online and in advance for stays longer than 3 days. In all, this car park is a great option for those looking for Mackay long term parking.
Located just off Jack Connor Drive, Mackay Short Term Car Park is only a 2-minute walk from the terminals and is great for those taking a weekend trip, or simply picking up or dropping off passengers as it is free to park here for your first 15 minutes.
While this car park doesn’t offer the cheapest Mackay airport parking rates, it does offer a recurring ‘weekender’ special, where if you book online for a minimum of 3 days at this car park, rates will start at $41, instead of $60 - talk about a deal on Mackay airport parking fees! Open 24/7 this car park is protected by advanced security features and trained on-site personnel.
Located right across from the Ibis Airport hotel, the Mackay Covered Car Park is a covered lot located right across from the Mackay Airport arrival and departure hall. The car park itself is suited to protect against a cyclone and therefore will protect your car from the extremes of any weather conditions.
Not only does this car park protect your car from weather conditions, but also from the chance of anybody accidentally scraping your car as they pull in next to you, as this covered lot has parking bays 20% larger than standard car lots. For rates starting at $30.00 for 24 hours, park here to have the knowledge that your car will remain safe and secure, and stay right where you left it.
There is a public pick-up and drop-off zone located right outside the terminal building, only available for passengers who are already waiting at the curbside and thus ready to be picked up.
Similarly, if you are a passenger who is ready to jump out of the car and be at the terminal in seconds, you can utilize this pick-up and drop-off zone. No waiting or parking is permitted here, and vehicles may not be left unattended.
Unfortunately, there is no valet parking at Mackay Airport at present.
Short-term parking at Mackay Airport is limited, although not impossible to come by. If you are looking merely for a drop-off / pick- up location, there is an appropriate bay to do so, right outside the terminal building. For a bit of longer waits, you can utilize the Mackay Long Term Car Park or Short Term Car Park for 15 minutes of free parking.
From 16 minutes - 3 hours, you can park at the long-term car park for $11.00. Similarly, parking between 1-3 hours at the short-term car park will cost you $10.00. For stays of 24 hours, you will find Mackay Airport parking rates start at $30 for the short-term car park and an additional $30 every day thereafter. At the long-term car park, you will find rates starting at $22 for 24 hours, and an additional $22 every day thereafter.
All of these rates listed are drive-up rates, and therefore can and will differ from online rates booked in advance.
