FAQs

We are the only off-airport parking services provider with locations in all three of our largest cities. Our branches are listed on our locations page.

Parking is available by pre-booking 24 hours per day 7 days a week in Auckland, between 6:00 am and 12:00 am (midnight) in Christchurch and between 6:30 am and 10:00 pm in Wellington. Please note that arrangements outside our normal business hours are strictly by pre-booked appointment. Please ensure that you arrive close to your booked time or notify us in advance if you are unable to, as the branch may be unattended at other times.

Auckland and Christchurch have 24 hour availability with tiered pricing depending on the time of day of drop-off or pick-up. Our Wellington location has limited hours and the primary option we can currently offer outside our available operating hours is to park or collect early or come back the next morning when our branch opens. If you require access outside our advertised available hours, this may be available by appointment; please contact us for availability and pricing.

Yes, we are open on public holidays. After hour fees may apply on some public holidays.

Yes, we have a fully fenced yard that is securely locked every night. Our building is also locked and has a monitored security system. Even so there remains an unlikely possibility of damage or loss caused by entry on to the premises by an unauthorised third party. We require you to hold insurance for your vehicle to cover any loss arising from any such unlikely event.

Our locations are between 2km and 4km from the airports they serve.

Pre-booking is recommended for the smoothest and fastest service, and to secure currently advertised pricing which is subject to change. It is also usually possible to park during our normal opening hours only without a booking subject to space availability. This will take a little longer to collect details and process a payment and there may be a wait time while staff attend to other pre-booked customers. Published pricing is for pre-booked parking. A higher rate may apply for non-booked parking. Drop-off very early or late in the day outside our normal business hours is not possible without pre-booking. Arrangements outside our normal business hours are strictly by pre-booked appointment. Please ensure that you arrive close to your booked time or notify us in advance if you are unable to, as the branch may be unattended at other times.

The best and fastest way is to make a booking on the home page. You can also make a booking over the phone. Our phone numbers appear on our locations page.

Standard pricing applies to regular cars and vans up to 4.8 metres in length. For any vehicles longer than this or specialist vehicles, please contact us by phone to confirm availability and to get a price quote.

You can park for as short a time as you desire. The minimum charge is for one day for any period of time up to one day’s parking. The maximum parking period bookable on this website is 180 days. Please check with us for any longer term or bulk parking enquiry. All parking charges must be paid for in advance.

Payment is taken in advance when you book on our website. Payment can also be processed in advance with a phone booking. If you arrive without a booking we will need to process a payment upon arrival. A higher rate may apply for non-booked parking.

Any additional payments at the branch or over the phone (for fees, extension, or extra services) can be made using a Visa or Mastercard. Cash payments are NOT accepted.

To see the pricing for the dates and times of day you are interested in, please enter those details on our booking form and you can see the applicable price and continue to make your booking when ready. Pricing differs by branch. Some pricing for common booking durations can also be found on the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch location pages on this website.

To bring you the lowest possible prices, our pricing is based on the dates and duration of stay and also the time of day you drop-off and collect your vehicle, with pricing being lower for pick-ups and drop-offs in the middle of the day and progressively higher for earlier & later times. We have taken this different and innovative approach to bring you the best possible overall pricing. All costs are automatically calculated and included in the price when you book online. There are no other hidden costs. Extra optional services are individually priced.

Please contact us if you need to adjust or cancel your booking.
We will endeavour to accommodate variations subject to availability and potentially additional fees becoming applicable.
If you need to cancel your booking, our terms for cancellation are:

• Any payments made where a booking is cancelled more than two days prior to the booked date will be refunded less an administration fee of up to $25
• Any payments made where a booking is cancelled within one day of the booked time or in the event of a no-show are non-refundable.

You drive your car to our branch address, where you will complete the administration. You will then be taken to the airport in our shuttle.

We do not currently offer a service to pick up your car from the terminal.

We have a complimentary shuttle service that will take you into the airport.

Yes, we have car seats available that if requested prior to our shuttle departure we can put in the shuttle if there are children travelling.

Please contact us as soon as you become aware of any delay or variation to your booked time. As arrangements outside our normal business hours are strictly by appointment only, we cannot guarantee staff attendance or shuttle availability outside any time that is either pre-booked or of which we receive adequate advance notice of an amendment. Our grace period after hours is generally limited to 30 minutes maximum. If your delay moves your drop-off time from our ordinary business hours to after hours, a late fee as applicable to initial bookings at that later time may become applicable at our discretion.

We normally operate the shuttle on an ‘as needed’ basis so when you are ready to go to the airport or ready for pick up we will send the shuttle. This will typically be less than 15 minutes from when the administration is completed but occasionally may be up to half an hour. We may run to a regular timetable during peak periods.

The check in process will take approximately 10 minutes. Including the wait for the shuttle and the shuttle journey time, we recommend you allow at least an hour before you need to be at the airport. Our shuttle service is complimentary and operates on a best endeavours first in first served basis. No liability is accepted in the event of missed flights or similar.

We offer two standard levels of servicing. Other variations can be priced on application.
