The Long-Term Car Park at Mackay Airport offers the most affordable Mackay Airport parking cost but is also the farthest from terminals (3 - 5 minute walk).
Despite the walk, this open-air car park is perfect for the budget-conscious traveller as Mackay airport parking fees start at $22.00 for 24 hours and $176.00 for 1 week.
Travellers can park here for their first 15 minutes free if they plan to only pick up or drop off friends and family.
On top of this, you are only a few minutes away from the terminals when you park at this car park and can save considerably by booking online and in advance for stays longer than 3 days.
Located just off Jack Connor Drive, Mackay Short Term Car Park is only a 2-minute walk from the terminals and is great for those taking a weekend trip or simply picking up or dropping off passengers.
This car park offers free parking for 15 minutes.
While this car park isn't the cheapest, it does offer a recurring ‘weekender’ special: if you book online for a minimum of 3 days at this car park, rates will start at $41, instead of $60 - talk about a deal on parking fees!
Located right across from the Ibis Airport hotel, the Mackay Covered Car Park is a covered lot located right across from the Mackay Airport arrival and departure hall.
The car park itself is suited to protect against a cyclone and, therefore will protect your car from the extremes of any weather conditions.
Not only does this car park protect your car from weather conditions, but also from the chance of anybody accidentally scraping your car as they pull in next to you, as this covered lot has parking bays 20% larger than standard car lots.
For rates starting at $30.00 for 24 hours, park here to know that your car will remain safe and secure, and stay right where you left it.
There is a public pick-up and drop-off zone located right outside the terminal building, only available for passengers who are already waiting at the curbside and thus ready to be picked up.
Similarly, if you are a passenger who is ready to jump out of the car and be at the terminal in seconds, you can utilize this pick-up and drop-off zone.
No waiting or parking is permitted here, and vehicles may not be left unattended.
Unfortunately, there is no valet parking at Mackay Airport at present.
Short-term parking at Mackay Airport is limited, although not impossible to come by.
If you are looking merely for a drop-off/pick-up location, drive to the bays right outside the terminal building.
For longer waits, you can utilize the Mackay Long Term Car Park or Short Term Car Park for 15 minutes of free parking.
From 16 minutes to 3 hours, you can park at the long-term car park for $11.00. Similarly, parking between 1 and 3 hours at the short-term car park will cost you $10.00.
For stays of 24 hours, Mackay Airport parking rates start at $30 for the short-term car park and an additional $30 every day thereafter.
At the long-term car park, you will find rates starting at $22 for 24 hours, and an additional $22 every day thereafter.
All of these rates listed are drive-up rates and, therefore can and will differ from online rates booked in advance.
