Long term airport parking simply means keeping your car in a parking spot at or near the airport while you’re away travelling. Naturally, this means that you will need to pay a fee to the parking facility you use for the privilege. It’s almost impossible to find secure, free parking at an airport. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t find inexpensive alternatives.
On-site parking, i.e. parking lots owned and maintained by the airport itself, tends to be more expensive but will get you closer to the terminal. It may be harder to secure a spot, especially on short notice, and the cost can quickly add up. The convenience may seem worth the expense for two or three days, but if you need long term parking Gold Coast Airport for a month, it can really add up.
Off-site parking is similar in many respects, but the car parks are not located at the airport. Run by private businesses, off-site parking facilities are usually positioned not too far from the terminal, but not in easy walking distance either. The major difference is that once you drive your vehicle to the car park, it will be parked for you, while you’ll take a short ride in a shuttle bus to the airport. It’s a fairly quick process, and the savings can make it more than worthwhile.
