🛑 Parking notice: If you're travelling from terminal 3 between January and March 2025, please allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes for parking due to construction delays in the Terminal 123 forecourt.
Expect higher traffic and more crowded car parks during this period. Consider factoring in this additional time or exploring alternative parking options to ensure a smoother experience.
If you're looking for budget-friendly parking, consider car parks located 8 - 13 minutes from Terminal 3, with on-demand, complimentary shuttle services:
These car parks provide strong security measures, including 24/7 CCTV surveillance, roaming patrols, and perimeter fencing, all designed to protect your vehicle.
As locally owned Australian businesses, these providers focus on offering personalized service and fair rates, so you can avoid overpaying for airport parking while benefiting from top-notch security and convenience.
The Value Car Park is the airport's official budget parking option. It is located approximately a 5 - 8-minute shuttle ride away from Terminal 3, and with rates at $112 for 1 week of parking, which is pretty affordable.
While affordable, it only provides scheduled shuttle services operating every 15 minutes. Passengers have reported encountering queues, and the bus is often full. However, if you're willing to wait, the lower rates make it a worthwhile option.
