A number of designated disabled car park spaces are conveniently located in the airport car parks. To access these parking spaces, enter the car park via the boom-gate and take a ticket from the machine as you would normally.Upon leaving the terminal you will need to pay for parking at the pay machines before returning to your vehicle. Our pay machines have been specifically designed to enable people in wheelchairs to access them with ease. If you experience any difficulties with the ticket or pay machines, press the help button and a member of staff will come to your assistance.
If you require special assistance for the kerbside pick-up or drop-off of disabled passengers, please call our parking office on 6275 2226 in advance to make prior arrangements.
HOW TO PAY
By CashOn entering the car park, take a ticket from the machine at the boom-gate. Take this ticket with you when you leave the car, and pay at the pay stations before getting back in your car to exit the car park. Our pay machines accept all coins except 5 cent coins, and all notes except $100 notes - change is given and receipts can be issued by the machine.
By Card
Credit cards can be used at either the boom-gate machines or at the pay machines before you return to your car. Receipts can be issued upon request.
Please note: some Virgin credit cards cannot be validated by our car parking equipment due to the unusual physical design and shape of the card. Regular designed (rectangular shape in appearance) cards are accepted.
Airport Quick Park

When leaving the car park, insert the same credit card in the exit machine, a receipt is provided and the boom-gate opens for you to exit.
