As the cheapest on-site official Gold Coast airport parkings, the budget-covered & uncovered car parks are only a short walk away from the terminal doors. You can find the covered car park to be a 4 - 8 minute walk away, whilst the uncovered is closer to a 5 - 10 minute walk. Despite both being labelled as budget parkings', the car parks charge different rates depending on if you park in a covered or uncovered car park.

User reviews seem to vary when it comes to the Budget car parks and official Gold Coast Airport parking(s) in general. On the one hand, customers speak highly of the ease of booking, the amiable on-site customer service team, and the overall proximity to the terminals. However, many travellers also express frustration over difficulties in booking a spot due to constant full capacity, and bemoan the high parking fees. To ensure your experience is pleasant and all goes as expected, we recommend booking your Gold Coast Airport parking weeks to months in advance when possible. And, should you wish to not pay such high Gold Coast Airport Budget parking fees, opt for an off-site car park that powers more competitive rates, with the same security and reliability as the on-site car parks.
