Drop-Off & Pick-Up at the International Terminal
For quick drop-offs and pick-ups at the International Terminal at Auckland Airport, head to the middle lane of the ground floor of the Transport Hub. Be advised that you cannot park your car here, or exit the driver's seat; it is only for immediate drop-off and pick-up.
For a bit more time waiting for your passenger or saying goodbye, you have two choices: 10 minutes of free parking in the P180 short-term car park, located within the Transport Hub, or 30 minutes of free parking in Wait Zone 3.
Wait Zone 3 is specifically designed for drop-off and pick-ups from the international terminal, as it is closest to that terminal of the 3 wait zones. The entrance is off Ray Emery Drive, right behind car park E.

P60 & P180 Car Parks
Auckland Airport recommends the P60 and P180 car parks for short-term stays of a few minutes up to a few hours.
The P60 car park is located on the ground floor of the Transport Hub, while the P180 is on the first floor of the Transport Hub. Both car parks are covered and only accept drive-up bookings on your day of departure.
The P60 car park is a 2 - 4 minute walk to the international terminal, while the P180 is a 3 - 5 minute walk.
Parking at the P60 means you can only park for 1 hour for $16, and $12 per hour thereafter, will increase up to $75 for 1 day. Parking at the P180 will be a bit cheaper long-term, with free parking for 10 minutes, $16 for 1 hour, and $67 for 1 day.
Which Car Park Should You Choose?
For the most affordable car park serving the international terminal:
The cheapest car parks at Auckland Airport serving the international terminal are Parking Mode & Flypark, as they charge $56 - $59 for 1 week of parking. Due to their low rates and tiered pricing, these are the best car parks for long-term parking.
Both of these car parks are only an 8 - 9 minute ride from the international terminal and operate 24/7, so they will pick you up and drop you off at all hours.
For short-term parking:
Consider one of the two short-term car parks, P60 and P180, located within the Transport Hub. They are not the most economical car parks but are within a 2 - 5 minute walk of the international terminal.
If you want a cheaper alternative and don't mind a bit of a longer walk, consider car park E, an 8 - 10 minute walk to the terminal, and only $9.00 for 1 hour, and $46 for 24 hours.
For the cheapest on-site car park:
Consider Park at Park & Ride North or South, they charge the same rates of $95 for 1 week of parking, are a 10 - 15 minute shuttle ride to the terminal.
These car parks are owned and operated by Auckland Airport, so they don't offer on-demand shuttle services. As a result, be aware that you will likely have to wait and/or queue for the terminal shuttle.
For covered parking:
Car Park D is your best option! Located an 8 - 12 minute walk away from the international terminal, parking here costs $250 per week.
For ultimate convenience:
Consider the international valet service, located right outside the terminal doors. You can choose from covered or uncovered parking, car washing services, and even mobility valet-style parking with an accessibility buggy available.
