Drive up to the Short Term Car Park and scan the credit card you used to make your online booking at the entry gate. You may park in any available parking bay unless it is designated otherwise.
Be sure to enter the car park no more than 1 hour before your stated arrival time, as your car may not be recognized by the car park’s technology. If you do so, you may be charged additional charges upon leaving. If you did not book your spot online, drive up and take a ticket at the entry gate.
To exit the Short Term Parking at Sunshine Coast Airport, drive up to the exit barrier and scan the same credit card you used to enter the car park to exit. The exit barrier will open and off you go! Should you exit the car park later than your pre-booked reservation time, you will be charged additional fees.
If you did not book your reservation online, upon return to the airport, pay for your ticket at the payment machines located in front of the terminals. You will then enter your ticket into the machine upon exiting the car park for the exit barrier to open.
