Blu Emu Car Park, Ross Smith Ave, Mascot NSW 2020, Australia

Blue Emu Parking at Sydney Airport 

Looking for affordable parking at Sydney Airport? The Blu Emu Car Park on Ross Smith Avenue is the most budget-friendly on-site option for travellers flying from Terminals 2 and 3.

Blu Emu Car Park Reviews

The Blu Emu is rated a 3.6 / 5 with over 180 Google user reviews. User reviews are quite mixed when it comes to the car park's quality.

Positive Reviews

On the one hand, user reviews express satisfaction over the ease of booking, affordable rates, and helpful shuttle service staff. Further, travellers express favour over the size of the car park and availability of parking bays.

Negative Reviews

Many user reviews have highlighted the need for a more consistent shuttle bus system, as dozens of travellers have been left waiting for a shuttle past 40 minutes, when it is stated the shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes to and from the terminals.

Further user reviews express discontent over the lack of shuttle buses, as when they do arrive, they fill quickly, leaving travellers who couldn't get on the bus waiting for longer, in addition to their previous wait time. A few user reviews have also reported damage to their cars whilst parked at the Blu Emu, with no accountability taken by the airport to further investigate or compensate for the damage.
