AIRPARK is Brisbane Airport’s official budget car park, designed for long term parking. It’s divided into two sections; AIRPARK Everyday and AIRPARK Undercover. Both areas of AIRPARK Brisbane function as ‘park and ride’ car parks, meaning that they are located some distance away from the airport terminals. Complimentary shuttle buses transfer passengers to the airport and back, with a journey time of 10 to 15 minutes.
AIRPARK is open to domestic and international travellers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The shuttle buses run every 15 minutes between 3:00am and 11:00pm, and every 30 minutes between 11:00pm and 3:00am.
Key information:
If you’re looking for airport parking without the price tag, AIRPARK Everyday is a good option. It’s a budget, open air car park, which offers low rates on long term bookings. It’s a few kilometres from the terminals, meaning that you will need to catch the complimentary shuttle bus to your terminal, and then back to the car park on your return to Brisbane.
Key Information:
Broadly speaking, it’s cheaper to book AIRPARK Everyday online than it is to pay drive-in rates. We’ve compared the price of online bookings, made one month in advance, so you can see the difference in cost. For long term bookings of several weeks or more, the car park’s pricing operates on a sliding scale, meaning that the longer the stay, the lower the daily rate.
| Duration | Drive-up rate | Online rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | $22.00 | $16.00 |
| 2 Days | $42.00 | $26.00 |
| 3 Days | $61.00 | $36.00 |
| 4 Days | $81.00 | $46.00 |
| 5 Days | $87.00 | $56.00 |
| 6 Days | $101.00 | $66.00 |
| 7 Days | $22.00 | $76.00 |
| Each additional day | + $10.00 | + $10.00 |
Brisbane Airport occasionally offers a discounted fee structure when you pre-book online, which is known as the ‘AIRPARK Saver’ rate. This is a non-refundable and non-amendable rate, which usually reduces the booking price of AIRPARK Everyday by $6.00 per day. It is not available for AIRPARK Undercover.
You do not need a voucher code for AIRPARK Saver, you simply need to book your parking space a few hours in advance of travelling to the car park.
Only bookable online, AIRPARK Undercover provides shaded parking under protective shade sails. It’s an ideal option if you don’t want your car sitting in the sun, rain, or wind for several weeks, and don’t mind paying a little extra. Again, AIRPARK Undercover is a park and ride car park, so you will need to catch the free shuttle bus onwards to the airport.
Key Information:
Since it’s only possible to book AIRPARK Undercover on Brisbane Airport’s official website, we cannot display drive-in rates. The fees shown below are for bookings made in advance, at different time periods.
Again, for long term bookings of several weeks or more, the car park’s pricing operates on a sliding scale. The longer your stay, the cheaper the daily rate will be.
| Duration | Booked 1 day in advance | Booked 1 month in advance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | $35.99 | $33.00 |
| 2 Days | $50.00 | $43.00 |
| 3 Days | $60.00 | $53.00 |
| 4 Days | $70.00 | $63.00 |
| 5 Days | $80.00 | $73.00 |
| 6 Days | $90.00 | $83.00 |
| 7 Days | $95.99 | $88.99 |
| Each additional day | + $10.00 | + $10.00 |
There are several park and ride car parks, similar to AIRPARK Brisbane, which charge lower fees. These facilities are privately owned and operated, and usually called ‘off-airport’, ‘off-site’, or ‘independent’ car parks. If you’re looking for long term parking at Brisbane Airport, you may want to consider using one of these facilities. Many of these car parks are able to offer superior security, better customer service, and shorter transfer times, as well as much lower prices.
When researching the rates charged by two of Brisbane’s leading airport parking providers, Andrew’s Airport Parking and Gateway Airport & Cruise Parking, we noticed significant differences in price when compared to AIRPARK for long stay bookings of one week or longer.
| Duration | AIRPARK Everyday | AIRPARK Undercover | Andrew's Airport Parking | Gateway Airport & Cruise Parking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Week | $81.99 | $99.98 | $69.00 | $65.00 |
| 2 Weeks | $181.00 | N/A | $124.00 | $100.00 |
| 3 Weeks | $251.00 | N/A | $159.00 | $135.00 |

| 7 Weeks | $531.00 | N/A | $299.00 | $275.00 |
| 8 Weeks | $671.00 | N/A | $334.00 | $310.00 |
Parking at Gateway Airport Parking for three weeks would save you $116.00 off the price of AIRPARK. That's almost 50% off. While parking at Gateway for a period of eight weeks would cost $310.00, against $671.00. That's less than half of what you'd be charged at the airport, for a very similar service.
Just like AIRPARK, Gateway is a park and ride car park. The shuttle transfer time is approximately 10 minutes, and the car park itself is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You can upgrade to covered parking for an additional fee, and unlike in AIRPARK, book a range of extras, including car washing and repairs.
Gateway are well known for their friendly customer service, and for going the extra mile. The car park is happy to provide battery charges and inflate tyres onsite, for cars that need a little help to get home after long stays. Flyparks customers typically award Gateway with five star reviews for their service, and it's not hard to tell why.
Flyparks can assist you in finding affordable Brisbane airport parking, by making it easy to compare numerous offers and providers. Instead of visiting multiple car park websites and manually comparing prices, you can filter by price, distance, and service level all in one place.
Customers can book their Brisbane Airport car parking space directly on Flyparks, and pay by using the secure online checkout. The entire process takes as little as two minutes.
All costs cited are approximate and subject to change. The rates quoted are estimations taken for stays in December 2019. Please note that it is not possible to book at any of the official Brisbane Airport car parks through Flyparks at present.
