Your Sydney Airport parking experience is going to vary depending on the type of service you select. Generally, you will find three types of car parking: those with valet services, shuttle services, and within walking distance. We assure you that all three services are efficient and dependable, however, your experience will differ depending on what service you choose, and which terminal you are flying from.
Car parks with shuttle services like Air Travel Parking & Airport Express Sydney will transport travellers to the terminal of their choice. The rest of the car parks at Sydney Airport, however, are designed specifically for travellers flying from a specific terminal. Blu Emu will only transport travellers to T2 & T3, while the car parks and valet services within walking distance of the terminals are allocated for travellers flying from a specific terminal. To determine which car park you should park at based on location, trip duration, ratings, or Sydney Airport parking rates, we suggest taking a closer look at the car parks below.

Booking a car park with shuttle services at Sydney Airport is recommended for those who value affordability without compromising convenience. The procedure is as follows:
Arrival: Drive to the car park, check in with your booking confirmation sent via email, park your car or have it parked for you, unload your luggage, and board the shuttle to the airport. The car parks offered on Flyparks offer shuttle services that are on-demand. Regardless, we advise arriving at the car park 20 - 30 minutes before needing to be at the terminal check-in desks.
Return: Once your flight has landed, and you've collected your luggage, call the number on your booking confirmation email to have the shuttle sent to collect you. Within minutes, you will be on the shuttle heading back to the car park.
While a short ride to the airport is due, parking with a car park offering shuttle services is the best option for those looking for cheap Sydney Airport parking. If you have difficulty choosing what provider to go with, read the user reviews below of past travellers who have booked with a car park. Flyparks is committed to providing quality service through and through, and values customer input long after their journey has concluded. Below are our top picks for Sydney Airport Parking:
Rated 8.8 / 10 based on Flyparks User Reviews
Renowned for offering a convenient, secure Sydney airport parking experience, Air Travel Parking is located just 6 minutes from Sydney Airport. Travellers can park here no matter whether they need Sydney Domestic Airport parking or Sydney International, as the shuttle bus will drop passengers off at the terminal they are flying from.
The car park is equipped with 24/7 CCTV, security guards, and a well-lit lot, ensuring the security of your vehicle whilst away.
Rated 8.8 / 10 based on Flyparks User Reviews

Airport Express Parking Reviews
Rated 3.5 / 5 with over 180 Google Reviews
The Blu Emu Car Park is Sydney Airport’s most affordable open-air parking option for Sydney domestic airport arrivals and departures. Despite its affordability, it is the airport’s furthest car park from Sydney domestic terminals. To ensure you get to your flights on time, there is a free shuttle service operating every 15 - 20 minutes between the Emu car park and T2/T3 domestic terminals. The shuttle service does not, however, extend to the T1 International Terminal, therefore while this car park can be used for Sydney International Airport parking, the shuttle bus will not transport travellers to the T1 terminal. Instead, travellers will have to get off at the domestic terminal, and then take another shuttle or train ride to the international terminal.
When considering this car park, be sure to take into consideration that you may experience long wait times for the shuttle service, as user reviews have reported it tends to run fairly slow, especially in peak travel season due to its popularity amongst passengers looking for Sydney Airport Domestic parking. Drive-up rates for the Blu Emu Car Park begin at $34.90 for 24 hours, and there are 24 accessible car park bays available.
For travellers flying from Sydney Airport's Domestic Terminal, there are a few car parks that may be just what you are looking for. The process for parking at the domestic terminal car parks is simple - travellers can either take a shuttle bus with Air Travel Parking, Airport Express Sydney, or the Blu Emu, or utilise an on-site car park that will have higher parking rates than those with shuttle services', but be within a few minutes walk to T2 and T3. The car parks located within walking distance of Sydney Domestic Terminal will be the P1&P2 Car Park, P3 Car Park, Qantas Valet, and T2 Premium Valet. The domestic valet car parks are going to be the most expensive, yet some of the most convenient, offered for domestic travellers.

As of January 2024, the P1 Car Park at Sydney Airport is undergoing renovations and is therefore not operable as a Sydney Airport domestic parking. Its neighbour parking, the P2 Car Park, remains operable and available to be booked on the Sydney Airport website.
Rated 3.1 / 5 with over 100 Google Reviews
The P2 Car Park at Sydney Airport is located off Keith Smith Avenue within a multi-storey facility, a short 4 - 5 minute walk from the T2 / T3 terminals. Travellers considering the P2 Car Park can choose between open-air or undercover parking and access their vehicle at any time due to the car park being open 24/7.
It is important to keep in mind that travellers who book this car park online for a duration of 3 hours or less will need to be sure that they do not arrive 2 hours prior to, or after, their nominated booking time as they will be charged additional fees if done. The P2 car park reviews are quite mixed, with many citing helpful staff but overpriced rates, defect entry barriers and QR scanners, and a lack of navigational signage, making it difficult to find, enter, and exit the car park effectively.
Rated 3.1 / 5 with over 120 Google Reviews
Similar to P2 Car Park, P3 is a multi-storey covered car park located off Keith Smith Avenue. It is a undercover parking facility with an open rooftop. Due to the longer walk time to Sydney domestic T2 and T3, P3 Parking Sydney Airport offers slightly lower rates than its counterpart, P2, with drive-up rates starting at $52.90 for 24 hours.
Rated 3.1/5 with over 6 Google Reviews
T2 Premium Valet Parking at Sydney Airport is located on the Departures Level of Terminal 2. Its location allows travellers to have direct access from the car park to the terminal, and for their car to be parked fully undercover. Premium car washes are also available for an additional fee, payable on-site. The valet service is open from 05:00 - 11:30 pm every day of the week.
User reviews on this valet service are also mixed - while limited, the majority of reviews express dissatisfaction with this valet service, citing long wait times for attendants to retrieve travellers' vehicles despite having their arrival times in the reservation; moreover, some cited overpriced rates for the quality of service. Others, however, gave 5 stars for their experience with no feedback. If you want a valet service but don't want to spend a fortune, Flyparks recommends looking into T2 Prebooked Valet, as discounted rates apply when booked online.
Rated a 2.7 / 5 with over 90 Google Reviews
The Qantas Valet service is a great choice for those who are looking to start their get-away on a stress-free foot. Conveniently located, Qantas Valet is only a 1 minute walk from Terminal 3, and is located on the arrivals level within Qantas domestic terminal Sydney, allowing for direct terminal access from the car park. Currently, their express check-in is unavailable at the airport; therefore, it is necessary to check in online before your arrival.
When considering Qantas and your choice of Sydney domestic airport parking, it is important to note that drive-up rates for this provider start at $65.00 for 3 hours, and $99.00 for 24 hours, and your car may be subject to storage in an off-site, open-air car park. Frequent Qantas travellers will benefit by parking with Qantas Valet at Sydney Airport as they can receive 3 Qantas points per $1.00 spent.
For those wishing to park directly on Sydney Airport grounds and are flying from the Sydney International Terminal, there are a few car parks designed specifically for you. The car parks designed for Sydney International Airport parking are the following: Air Travel Parking, Airport Express Parking, P7 Syd Valet, T1 Premium Valet, and the P7 Car Park.
All the car parks listed above, except for Air Travel Parking and Airport Express Parking, will offer relatively high rates for Sydney Airport parking due to their location being within walking distance of the terminals. They are therefore suggested for travellers who would rather walk to their terminal as opposed to being dropped off in front of it by a shuttle bus. The Sydney international airport parkings available to be booked are detailed below:

The P7 Car Park is used repeatedly by travellers looking for long-term parking at Sydney Airport, and specifically, for those who want to park their car at an on-site, Sydney International Airport parking facility. Although it is another expensive official airport car parking option, P7 Parking Sydney Airport is a multi-story, undercover facility that charges $62.00 per day for the convenience of being on the doorstep of Sydney Airport International Arrivals / Departures.
If you plan to pre-book your reservation, simply scan your QR code sent in your confirmation email upon entry at the car park gate. You can alternatively take a ticket at the gate if you do not plan to book your space in advance. This car park is an excellent option for those looking for convenient car storage or those who need an accessible parking bay, as there are 34 accessible car park spaces available near the front of the P7 Car Park.
Rated a 3.5 / 5 with over 40 Google Reviews
The P7 Syd Valet is designed for those looking for ultra-convenient T1 Sydney International Airport Parking. Located on Centre Road, on the Ground Floor of the multi-storey car park, this valet service is open from 5:00 am - 11:30 pm, every day of the week. Considering that it is a valet service, it offers extremely affordable rates. For 1 week of parking, the P7 Syd Valet will be $335.00, which is cheaper than the P7 Car Park.
User reviews on the valet service are relatively positive, with most citing the ease of finding the valet service, the quality of the service itself, friendly staff, and affordable rates. Additional users cite the convenient walk to the International Departures / Arrivals, as it's within a few minutes by foot.

T1 Premium Valet is a luxurious and convenient Sydney Airport Parking designed for international travellers flying from T1. The car park court is located directly across from the Departures Level of T1, but travellers that book this service can simply drive up to the kerbside of T1, show their booking confirmation, and hand over their keys to have their car parked for them. From there, travellers will only need to walk 1 - 2 minutes to be at the check-in desks at T1.
Rates of the T1 Premium Valet are the same as that of its neighbour valet parking, the T2 Premium Valet, the only difference comes from the terminal location. While convenient, rates are high for this service.
