The cheapest listed way to leave a car at Brisbane Airport is AIRPARK, at $50 for 4 to 24 hours and $136 for 8 days, with a free shuttle bus to the terminals. The terminal car parks cost more: ParkLong is $69 for 4 to 24 hours; ParkPremium is $99; Park&Fly is $134; ParkValet is $135. These are the drive-up rates on the Brisbane Airport website as of 8 and 9 November 2026.
Which Brisbane Airport car park costs the least?
The table sets out the drive-up rates for each product, as printed on the airport’s pages. “Drive-up” is the airport’s own label for the rate when you arrive without booking. Every page also says to book online, ParkLong’s wording being “book online to secure the best rates”, but none of them prints the online price.
| Time parked | AIRPARK | ParkLong | ParkPremium | Park&Fly | ParkValet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-24 hours | $50 | $69 | $99 | $134 | $135 |
| 2 days | $70 | $107 | $202 | $168 | $172 |
| 3 days | $85 | $136 | $232 | $191 | $196 |
| 4 days | $95 | $163 | $263 | $213 | $220 |
| 5 days | $105 | $190 | $294 | $236 | $243 |
| 6 days | $115 | $208 | $325 | $259 | $268 |
| 7 days | $125 | $226 | $355 | $281 | $292 |
| 8 days | $136 | $244 | $386 | $303 | $316 |
| Each additional day | $11 | $18 | $28 | $17 | $24 |
One pattern stands out: for a single day, ParkPremium ($99) is cheaper than Park&Fly ($134) and ParkValet ($135). From 2 days onward ParkPremium is the most expensive of the five, at $202 for 2 days against $168 for Park&Fly and $172 for ParkValet.
What is ParkLong, and how far is the walk?
ParkLong is the airport’s self-park terminal car park. At the Domestic Terminal it is on Levels 5 to 9 of P1 and Levels 1 to 6 of P2. At the International Terminal it is on Levels 2 to 4 and the outdoor area of the car park. The airport describes it as a 4 to 8 minute walk to the terminals, safe and secure with 24 hour CCTV, and says over-height options are available at the International Terminal only.
The Domestic and International drive-up rates are identical on the page: $69 for 4 to 24 hours, $107 for 2 days, and so on up to $244 for 8 days, then $18 for each additional day.
What does ParkPremium give you?
ParkPremium is on Levels 3 and 4 of the Domestic Terminal. The airport calls it one of the most popular options for business travellers and lists these features:
- Closest self parking to the Domestic Terminal
- Exclusive entry into the car park
- Express entry and exit
- Guaranteed undercover parking spaces
- Quick access to the terminal via the skywalk
- Safe and secure with 24 hour CCTV
The page recommends booking online in advance. It lists ParkPremium at the Domestic Terminal only.
How does Park&Fly work?
Park&Fly is a drop-and-go service at the Domestic Terminal, on Level 3 of the P2 car park. You drop your car at the designated Park&Fly drop-off bay, hand your keys to an attendant, and the attendants park it. When you return, you pick up your keys and attendants direct you to your car. Three details matter:
- It runs from 4am to midnight, and is not available outside those hours
- It is available for online bookings only
- Access is by the P2 car park ramp, following the signage to the designated area
Your car stays in a secure undercover or open air location on airport. The airport says Park&Fly is close to the skywalk for easy access to the Domestic Terminal.
Can I valet park at Brisbane Airport?
At the International Terminal only. The ParkValet page says valet parking is available at the International Terminal “at this time”, and that you can sign up to the airport’s mailing list to be told when valet parking is relaunched at the Domestic Terminal. ParkValet is on Level 1 of the International Terminal car park, steps from the terminal doors, with express entry and exit outside the terminal doors.
One caution from the page’s FAQ: ParkValet does not guarantee your car will be parked undercover. During busy periods, cars may be moved to a secure open-air car park. If your return travel details change, the page asks you to contact the ParkValet office in advance so your car can be ready for the new arrival time.
What about AIRPARK?
AIRPARK and AIRPARK 2 are the budget open air car parks, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a free shuttle bus to the terminals. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes from 3:30am to 12:30am and every 30 minutes from 12:30am to 3:30am, subject to road conditions. The airport also offers an air-conditioned lounge at both car parks, over-height spaces up to 4m, and 24 hour CCTV. Our pick-up and drop-off parking guide has the short-stay AIRPARK rates and the shuttle details.
Is there any free parking time at ParkLong?
The ParkLong page says you can park at ParkLong Domestic for up to 30 minutes free, or for up to 1 hour at AIRPARK, “until further notice”. The airport’s ParkShort page, which we used for our pick-up guide, says up to 15 minutes free at ParkShort Domestic. The two pages describe different car parks, and we have not been able to confirm from the airport how they fit together, so check the page for the car park you plan to use.
Which product suits which trip?
| Your trip | What the airport’s pages point to |

| Walk to the terminal, self-park | ParkLong: a 4 to 8 minute walk, $69 for 4-24 hours |
| Undercover and closest to the Domestic Terminal | ParkPremium: guaranteed undercover spaces, skywalk access, $99 for 4-24 hours |

What should I check before I book?
- That you are looking at the right terminal: Domestic and International have different products
- That the days you need fit the table: the figures above are drive-up rates, and the airport recommends booking online
- The free-time wording for your car park, since it is marked “until further notice”
- The ParkValet FAQ if undercover parking matters to you
