Types of Queenstown Airport Car Parking

At Queenstown Airport, you will find several different parking options to suit all budgets and requirements. Whether you are looking for short or long-term parking at Queenstown Airport, there are on-site and off-site parking options available to suit your needs. 

For on-site Queenstown Airport parking, you’ll find four official car parks including Terminal Parking (A & B), Queenstown Park & Ride, P20 Express Parking and the P2 Drop-Off Zone. All these options are located within walking distance of the airport terminals to ensure convenience for those flying!

While parking at on-site airport locations offers you the convenience of being at the airport check in desks within minutes, it's also very expensive.

Car Parks with Shuttle Service to Queenstown Airport 

Shuttle parking icon

To secure the most affordable long term parking Queenstown Airport, it pays to book with a ‘park and ride’ car park. There is one off-site car park at Queenstown Airport at present that offers a complimentary shuttle Queenstown Airport that will take you to the terminals and back. We recommend this option for budget conscious travellers looking to park their vehicles for one day or more.

Airport park and ride services are easy to book and straightforward to use. Customers simply park their vehicle at the car park, check-in at the reception desk, and then take the complimentary shuttle bus to the airport. On their return, a shuttle bus will be sent to collect them and take them back to their car.

Arrival: On the day of departure, simply drive to the address of the chosen car park. To enter the car park, you must tap your debit or credit card at the gate. No cash payments are accepted. Upon entering, find a designated space for your car park, and make your way towards the Queenstown Airport bus from the car park.

Return: On the day of return, after landing, head towards the shuttle bus drop-off location noted on your confirmation email. The shuttle bus runs every 40 minutes to and from the airport, starting at 5:20 a.m., with the final shuttle departing after the last plane has landed. Upon getting in your car, exit the car park by tapping the same card you used to enter the car park with.

Parking at Queenstown Airport within Walking Distance to Terminals

Parking within walking distance icon

You’ll find the Terminal Car Parks (A & B), P20 Express Parking, and P2 Drop-Off Zone all located close to the main airport building. Not only are these car parks convenient in terms of location, but affordably priced for both short and long-term parking at Queenstown Airport. Unfortunately, only drive-up bookings are accepted at these car parks. Thus, you must pay upon arrival at the terminal car parks with cash, EFTPOS, or credit card. 

Arrival: You simply drive to the car park. On arrival, you may utilize the tap-and-go payment system at all terminal car parks. Simply tap your credit card at the entry barrier to enter the car park.

Return: As you return to the car park, tap the same credit card used to enter, to exit. For charges greater than $200, you will need to enter your pin at the gate, and can therefore not utilize the tap & go method.

 

terminal-a-and-b-parking-queenstown

Terminal Car Park - A  ($238.00 for 1 week)

Terminal Car Park A at Queenstown Airport charges parking fees on the higher side, at $238 per week. However, the convenience of being only a 1 to 2-minute walk from the terminal in this open-air facility makes it a preferred choice for many travelers. Both Terminal Car Parks A and B have identical rates, but the main difference lies in their proximity to the terminal and the number of available parking bays.

Car Park A is situated right in front of the terminal and offers 300 parking bays, including 4 accessible spaces (mobility pass required) and 6 EV charging stations. The front 5 bays also serve as express and drop-off zones, enhancing convenience for quick stops. While the Queenstown airport parking fees are high, the ease of access makes it a practical option for those looking for maximum convenience.

Terminal Car Park - B  ($238.00 for 1 week)

Terminal Car Park B offers the same Queenstown airport parking fees as Car Park A, but with a slightly longer walk to the terminal. This open-air, 24/7 car park is located just a 3 to 5-minute walk from the terminal and accepts drive-up bookings only.

While smaller than Car Park A, with 95 parking bays and no EV charging stations, it is a great option for travellers seeking budget-friendly or long-term parking. Plus, the first 20 minutes of parking are free, making it convenient for quick drop-offs. Car Park B is located to the right of the terminal, directly across from the rental car park, offering a balance of affordability and proximity for those who don’t mind a short walk.

p20-express-parking-queenstown-airport

P20 Express Parking

If you require a little more time for your goodbyes, then the P20 express pick-up and drop-off parking spaces are a perfect choice for you. Located in the first few bays signposted ‘P20’ of Terminal car park A, you can find Queenstown Airport free parking here if you plan to stay under 20 minutes.
