There are numerous choices when it comes to parking at Christchurch Airport, from the premium Express Park right next to the terminal, to the economy off-site option at Airpark Canterbury. We’ve found that most Flyparks travellers choose an airport park based on price, location, security features, and rating.
If you’re still deciding which car park is right for you, we suggest considering how close you want to be to the terminal building, and your overall budget. As a general rule of thumb, the closer a car park is located in relation to the airport, the more expensive its rates will be. You will have to pay a little extra for undercover parking, and valet services usually come at a premium. If you’d rather splurge on your holiday than on your parking, off-site car parking Christchurch Airport might be for you.
Usually called shuttle parking or ‘park and ride,’ this type of Christchurch car parking is one of the most economical ways to park your car when departing from the airport. These car parks are run by independent companies, and situated off the main airport grounds. This means that they pay less ground rent and can pass on the savings to customers by offering more competitive rates than the official airport car parks. To make up for the extra distance, the options for park and ride Christchurch Airport provide complimentary shuttle bus services in both directions. There are several off-site car parks close to Christchurch Airport, however, we recommend, which can be seen below.
Arrival: On the day of departure, simply drive to the address of the chosen car park. As you enter the car park, show or scan your confirmation email from Flyparks. After entering and parking your car, you will then be taken to the airport as quickly as possible in one of the shuttle buses from the parking lot.
Return: On the day of return, after landing, contact the car park by phone, then a shuttle bus will be driven to the airport to pick you up and take you back to the car park.
Within a short shuttle ride, you can be at the Christchurch terminals from the Park and Ride Christchurch facility. Open 24/7, this car park is known by past clients for its low rates and friendly customer service team. It is recommended to leave at least 30 minutes between the time you plan to arrive at the car park, and when you need to be at the airport terminals.
Do keep in mind that while the car park is open 24/7, the shuttle does not run consistently through the night or morning. Always check the shuttle schedule before booking your spot to ensure you won't have to wait while at the car park. This car park is currently unavailable to be booked on Flyparks.

Finding cheap parking Christchurch Airport depends on various factors such as the season, advanced booking, type of service, and whether you choose an on-site or off-site provider. Generally, booking during the off-season (May - June) offers travellers more affordable rates as demand isn’t as high as in peak travel season.
Pre-booking online, whether during peak season or off-season, can save you up to 40% off compared to incurring drive-up rates on the day of your departure.
To maximize your savings, consider booking with an off-site provider located slightly further away from the airport, such as Airpark Canterbury. Despite being off-site, it is only a 4-minute complimentary shuttle ride away from the airport terminals.
