When searching for parking at Ballina Airport, you have four options to choose from.
The main difference between these car parks is that three are owned and managed by the airport, while one is operated by a private company.
All options provide excellent security, but they vary in rates, proximity to the terminals, and whether they offer open-air or undercover parking.
To ensure you get the best rates, Flyparks recommends booking your parking space online whenever possible.
Despite its smaller size, Ballina Airport has limited parking, making it just as challenging to find a spot as at larger airports like Sydney or Melbourne.
There are three options to choose between for car parks within walking distance: General Parking, Reserved Parking, and Premium Parking.
All three are only a short walk from the terminal and charge different rates.
There are no hourly parking rates for the Reserved or Premium car parks, as they charge on a 24-hour basis.
The General car park, however, does charge hourly ratings starting at $6.00 for 1 - 2 hours, and $20.00 for 1 day.
You cannot book your parking online at the General Car Park or the Premium Car Park, you must pay at the payment machine (with cash) or boom gate (by credit card) before leaving.
