All the options for airport valet parking Sydney operate similarly. You either book online or turn up on the day, and drop off your vehicle. You will have to hand over your car keys to the trained staff at the car park, so they can safely park your car on your behalf. While you complete the short walk to your terminal, your car will be securely stored in an undercover facility.
Once you arrive back in Sydney, a driver will meet you outside your Terminal and drop off your car. They’ll hand back your car keys, help you with your luggage, and then ensure that you can travel home without issue.
As you consider your options for valet parking at Sydney Airport, keep in mind that your car may be subject to being parked at an off-site, open-air lot during the duration of your stay.
Several companies provide valet services at Kingsford Smith, which are P7 Syd Valet, Qantas Valet, and T2 Premium Valet. Your choice of valet parking company should factor in the terminal your flight departs from, and the airline you are booked with.
Qantas Valet Parking Sydney Airport similarly targets its customers and offers frequent flyer points for those who opt to leave their car with Qantas Valet. If you're flying with another airline, your best choice is parking with an off-site, valet-style car park, like Air Travel Parking or Airport Express Sydney, which offers valet parking Sydney International Airport as well as valet parking Sydney Domestic Airport because each company's shuttle bus drops passengers off at either terminal in under 10 minutes. It may not be the traditional valet services you are used to, but the process remains almost the same - drop your car off outside the office, hand over your keys, board the shuttle bus, and be dropped off outside the terminal of your choice.
Unfortunately, if you were a fan of Virgin Valet Sydney, they no longer offer their valet car parking services.
Most on-site valet services offer car washing services at additional cost. If you’d like your car professionally cleaned while you’re away, you will need to enquire on arrival. Prices start at $45.00 for small cars and $50.00 for larger vehicles, and go up to $95.00 and $100.00 respectively, for the platinum package. Qantas Valet charges between $55.00 and $150.00 for sedans, and $65.00 to $185.00 for 4WDs and vans.
The options for valet parking at Sydney Domestic Airport are T2 Premium Valet, T2 Pre-Booked Valet, and Qantas Valet. T2 Premium Valet is located outside T2 at the Departures Level, while Qantas Valet is located at Shiers Avenue at the end of T3, on the Arrivals Level. These valet services are open from 5:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. every day. Height restrictions of 2.0 metres are in place at both valet parkings.
T2 Premium Valet offers some of the more affordable rates when it comes to valet parking at Sydney Airport. The lot is situated outside the T2 Departures Level and remains open every day from 5 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. Before booking, it is important to be aware that past travellers have expressed long waiting times when it came to the valet staff retrieving their car from the T2 Premium Valet lot, despite having their arrival time noted in their reservation. Other user reviews, however, have expressed great satisfaction with the attentiveness of the valet staff.
It is also a car park that is available to be pre-booked on the Sydney Airport's website, known as T2 Pre-booked Valet. Booking T2 Pre-Booked Valet ensures you are guaranteed a spot upon arrival, and can simply drop off your vehicle and hand over your keys to the valet staff. If you plan to book T2 Pre-book Valet Sydney, keep in mind that drop offs are between 5 am - 11 am, while pick ups are from 13:00 - 23:30. You can find the drop-off spot on Keith Smith Avenue opposite T2 on the arrivals level, and adjacent to the 'Priority Pick Up' drop off.
To get to T2 Premium Valet Parking, follow the 'Departure' sign towards the T2 Departure, then look for T2 Premium Valet signage, which will be conspicuous on the left-hand side at the T2 Terminal.
Qantas Valet Parking is a valet car park designed for Qantas guests flying from Sydney Airport. Qantas Valet reviews left by past travellers are mixed, so we recommend doing a bit of research before booking your spot. Many user reviews state that high parking rates do not match the quality of service. Despite this, the lot is conveniently located outside the Domestic Terminal at Sydney Airport, and therefore a very short walk from the car park to the check-in desk.
The only option for valet parking Sydney International is P7 Syd Valet. This car park is located on the ground floor of the P7 multi-story car park, right next to T1 International. Their opening hours are from 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day. Height restrictions of 2.0 metres apply at this car park.
Surprisingly, P7 Syd Valet offers cheaper valet parking rates than the regular P7 Parking Sydney Airport itself. This valet parking at Sydney Airport was designed specifically for international travellers departing from Terminal 1 who want maximum convenience in their parking experience.
The P7 Valet lot is located on the ground floor of the P7 car park and is only open during select hours. So, if your plane is set to arrive or depart before or after the hours between 05:00 - 11:30 pm, it is likely best to book another car park so you have immediate access to your vehicle when you arrive or return. Additionally, the P7 valet parking at Sydney Airport has height restrictions of 2.2 metres, if your car surpasses that, you will need to park elsewhere.
Located on T1 at the departures level, T1 Premium Valet offers travellers an undercover parking service aimed to provide maximum convenience by offering passengers direct access to T1.

Your car will need to be inspected upon arrival to ensure all is reported in regards to marks or previous damage.
It's important to remember that if you are dropping off your car on the same day of departure without pre-booking, you will return to the same location to pick up your car and return home. However, if you are paying for one or more overnight stays, on return, you will need to head to the P7 Syd Valet car park as your car will be held there.
Since the valet car parks at Sydney Airport are undercover, there are vehicle height restrictions in place, which in most cases is 2 metres. If your vehicle cannot fit inside a standard sized parking space, you will need to make other arrangements

Qantas Valet and T2 Premium Valet are open between 5:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. every day. P7 Syd Valet is open from 5 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. every day.
