Tips for Finding the Cheapest Parking at Auckland Airport

1. Book as early as possible: Reserve your parking as soon as you book your flights. Booking at least 2 weeks in advance can secure significantly lower rates compared to same-day bookings. Even booking the night before your trip results in better rates than drive-up rates.
2. Read remarks and reviews for hidden costs: Before booking, check the reviews and terms of your chosen car park. Some providers may have surcharges for late-night arrivals, and airport or shuttle fees. While car parks bookable on Parkhero don't have these costs, it is still wise to verify.
3. Opt for shuttle parking: The further the car park is from the terminal, the cheaper it usually is. Many off-site car parks offer free shuttle services, providing a cost-effective alternative while maintaining convenience. 
4. Choose long-term parking for extended trips: For trips longer than a day or two, long-term parking rates will likely be more economical than short-term rates, whether for official or privately owned airport car parks. However, as point #3 states, long-term privately owned car parks will likely always be cheaper. Similarly, uncovered parking will always be cheaper than covered parking. 
5. Look for promotions and discounts: If you prefer parking on airport grounds, visit the official Auckland Airport website or subscribe to their newsletter. Promotions and discounts may be available, especially for routine travellers. 

^{While we’ve made every attempt to accurately report on Auckland Airport car parking rates, prices fluctuate based on factors such as capacity, how long you intend to park for, and service type. Therefore, they are subject to change without notice, but were accurate at the time of publication in December 2024. It is not possible to book the official Auckland Airport car parks with Parkhero. We instead offer a range of alternative car parking options from private service providers. All prices for New Zealand car parks are shown in New Zealand Dollars ($NZ).}
