Darwin International Airport car park operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is situated directly in front of the Terminal. The car park offers short and long term stays (same parking area and its competitive rates often provide better value for money than other forms of transport) with the added convenience of travelling at your own pace.
Drivers receive a ticket upon arrival at the entrance boom gate (please retain your ticket) and pay the fee at pay stations inside the terminal before returning to your vehicle.
Charges
A sliding scale of charges now applies for short-term parking, starting at $3 for half an hour to a maximum of $12 per day. Long term rates are $12 per day or part there of for the first 7 days, and $10 per day after one week. (Please note that the long term and short term car parks are the same facility).
