Instructions

How Does Sydney Airport P9 Parking Work?

The P9 Car Park is within a 2 - 5 minute walk of T1, making the pick-up and drop-off process a breeze.

Upon Arrival

The entrance to the car park is off Centre Road. Drive up to the car park, and park your car in any available bay.

Drivers can park their car within the facility for 15 minutes max.

After that, travellers can venture to the P7 Car Park for longer stays.

License plate technology is in place at this car park, and will recognise the time in which you leave the car park, and if you over-stay the 15-minute grace period, additional charges will apply. The driver must remain with the vehicle at all times.

Upon Return

As a general guideline, drivers picking up passengers should plan to arrive about 30 minutes after your passenger’s scheduled landing time.

It can take a while for them to disembark, collect baggage, and reach the Public Pick-up zone. To minimize waiting time, consider having them call when they’re ready for pick-up

Booking & Refund Procedure

To Book

Drive up to the car park and the license plate recognition software will automatically allow entry for your vehicle. Parking is free for 15 minutes only.

Reviews of P9 Parking at Sydney Airport

User reviews for Sydney Airport's P9 Car Park are mixed. Many find it convenient due to its close location to Terminal 1 (International Terminal), making it ideal for quick pick-ups and drop-offs.

Users also appreciate the open-air design and license plate recognition technology, which streamlines entry and exit.

However, there are common complaints about the 15-minute free parking limit, with some feeling it’s insufficient, especially for elderly passengers or those with multiple pieces of luggage.

Additionally, multiple users report issues with unexpected charges after re-entering the lot within the 15-minute window, noting that re-entry often triggers additional fees even when within the free period.
