Finding affordable, secure parking at Perth Airport can be a struggle.
From confusing signage to high parking fees, many travellers share frustrations about parking at Perth Airport.
Here’s what you need to know to save money and time when flying out of Perth:
Showing up at Perth Airport without a parking booking can lead to higher costs and added stress, especially during peak travel times or holidays.
Drive-up prices for long-term parking are around $21.87 a day, while booking online in advance can bring that down to roughly $11.50 per day.
Parking areas fill up quickly, especially during school holidays and peak travel times. Without a reservation, you might have to park much farther away from the terminal or spend extra time searching for a space.
Booking ahead gives you more control over both cost and convenience.
Off-site providers on Flyparks charge between $92 and $142 per week, with free shuttle transfers that run on-demand.
Parking at airport car parks with free shuttle transfers can save you up to 40% compared to those within walking distance of the terminal.
Off-site car parks with on-demand shuttles are usually the most budget-friendly, offering flexible transfers to and from your terminal.
On-site car parks with shuttle services are also affordable, but their shuttles often run on a fixed schedule rather than on-demand.
As a result, some travellers have reported waiting over 20 minutes in hot or rainy weather because the shuttle was either infrequent or already full, requiring them to queue for the next one.
If you're considering shuttle parking, it’s a good idea to check the shuttle timetable in advance, especially for official car parks that tend to follow a set schedule. Also, be sure that there is an undercover waiting area as you wait for the shuttle bus incase of rain or storms.
Short-term parking is very close to the terminals, but it isn’t cheap.
The short-term car parks outside T1-T4 charge $64.40 for 24 hours and $144 for 2 - 3 days. Both are within a 2 to 6-minute walk to the terminals.
If you are parking for up to 2 - 3 days, and convenience matters a bit more than price, these might be great options for you.
But if availability or budget is a concern, pre-booking all other car parks or opting for shuttle parking will often give you better results.
Electric vehicle drivers should know that charging stations are limited at Perth Airport.
The Terminal 2 Short-term car park offers 5 EV wall chargers, but spaces are not guaranteed and are often in high demand. It is not certain you will be able to park at an EV charging bay upon arrival.
Off-site providers like the Car Port & Spa have EV charging for indoor bookings, but you must bring your own cables.
Skypark Valet also offers EV charging, but it's an additional $30, which can be paid upon arrival.
Security is a common concern when leaving your car parked for several days.
While most car parks have CCTV in place, many travellers say they feel more comfortable knowing there’s staff physically on-site, especially overnight.
It’s worth checking whether the car park is staffed around the clock or only during shuttle operating hours. That detail can make a big difference. A camera might record what happens, but it won’t intervene if something goes wrong.
At official airport car parks, you’ll typically find cameras and automated entry gates, but no staff patrolling the area.
In contrast, most off-site private car parks have staff on the ground, perimeter fencing, and active monitoring, even though the majority are not equipped with automated gate systems.
In many cases, that’s exactly why staff are present.
Most Perth Airport car parks are open-air, except for the Premium car park and the Long-Term Undercover car park.
If you're worried about hail, sun exposure, or weather-related damage, it’s worth choosing indoor or covered parking for added protection.
Several off-site providers offer indoor parking, such as Bay Airport Parking, Skypark Valet, and the Car Port & Spa.
One overlooked tip is to balance cost and convenience using comparison tools, such as those on Flyparks.
Some travellers pick the closest car park, only to find better-priced options just a few minutes further away with more reliable shuttle services.
Comparing real-time availability, shuttle frequency, and security features helps you find the best fit, not just the closest spot.

The height restrictions of Perth Airport car parks are as follows:
Perth Airport gets busiest early in the morning and late afternoon, typically from 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM, with longer lines for shuttles and parking entry.
If your flight is early, aim to arrive 30 minutes early, even if you're parking on-site, and especially if you didn't reserve your parking in advance or are travelling during a holiday.
For off-site parking or parking at one of the long-term car parks at Perth Airport, always arrive at the car park 30-minutes before you need to check in at Perth Airport
Doing so reduces stress and avoids the notorious “rush hour” parking scramble.
Many travellers opt for an Uber to get to and from Perth Airport to avoid paying parking fees, but ride-share rides between Perth CBD and the airport cost around $67 to $123 for trips during off-peak hours.
During peak times, this can rise by $15 to $20 each way.
If you live close to the airport, say under 15 minutes, using ride-share is not a bad option, as you can even pay less than this.
However, if you're travelling with a family, live 15+ minutes from the airport, or travelling during a busy time, using a park-and-ride option can cut costs significantly.
Off-site parking starts as low as $92 per week.
If flying very early or late, book car parks with 24-hour shuttle service and staff.
Should your flight get delayed, you don't want to worry about getting back to the car park in-time to retrieve your vehicle.
Car parks that operate 24/7 are your best bet as they will always be open, and if you park with a private car park, shuttle services will be running on-demand, so you're never left waiting to get back to your vehicle.
NH Airlink and any of the long-term car parks at Perth Airport are great options for 24/7 car parks that are affordable and convenient.
Perth Airport provides accessible parking options in all of its car parks.
The closest to the terminal, with accessible parking spots, will be the Premium car park, or using the T3/T4 valet service; however, it's exclusively for travellers flying from T3 and T4.
Both car parks are located on Brearely Avenue, the premium car park just requires a 1 - 2 minute walk from T3/T4. The valet service is right outside the T3/T4 terminal.
For accessible parking options near T1 and T2, we recommend using the Short-term car parks, located on Horrie Miller Drive, a 3 - 4 minute walk to T1, and on Sugarbird Lady Road, a 2 - 3 minute walk to T2.
To use the accessible parking bays, a valid ACROD Permit must be displayed.
