Airport Express Parking Reviews
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. To help travellers get to their flights on time, a free shuttle runs every 15 - 20 minutes between the car park and the T2/T3 domestic terminals. However, the shuttle does not service the T1 International Terminal, so travellers needing international parking 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.

On your day of travel, arrive at the car park 20 - 30 minutes before you need to be at the check-in desks. This will allow for a smooth transfer.
