Airport Express Parking Reviews
Air Travel Parking provides a quick and secure parking option just 6 minutes from Sydney Airport.
Whether you’re flying from the Sydney Domestic or International terminals, the shuttle bus will take you directly to your departure point as soon as you check in at the car park.
The parking facility is monitored by 24/7 CCTV, patrolled by security guards, and brightly lit, giving travellers peace of mind while their vehicles are safely parked.
The Blu Emu Car Park is the most budget-friendly option for official airport parking, catering only to domestic arrivals and departures.
Though it offers low-cost parking, it is the furthest from Sydney's domestic terminals.
A free shuttle runs every 15 - 20 minutes between the car park and the T2/T3 domestic terminals.
The shuttle does not service the T1 International Terminal, so international travellers will have to transfer at the domestic terminal and take another shuttle or train to reach T1.
It’s worth noting that users have reported potential delays with the shuttle service, especially during peak travel periods, so longer wait times may occur.
