Darwin International Airport has three car parks that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Short Term Car Park
The 624 bay Short Term Car Park is located directly in front of the Terminal building. Car Park entrances are located on the Henry Wrigley Drive approach to the terminal, and along the public drop off lane.
Long Term Car Park
The 270 bay Long Term Car Park is located 200 metres walking distance from the Terminal Building, adjacent to the car rental facility. The Car Park entrance is located on the western side of the Terminal Building.
General Aviation Car Park
The 299 bay General Aviation Car Park is located on Pedersen Road and caters for customers in the nearby Slade Court general aviation precinct, as well as a reduced-cost long term parking option for passengers using the Terminal. The walking distance to the Terminal is 450 meters along a marked pedestrian footpath.
Please note that car parking spaces at each car park are subject to availability.
Cash is not accepted at the exit machines.
How to Pay
On entering the car park you will receive a ticket from the machine at the entry gate. Take this ticket with you when you leave your vehicle, and pay at one of the pay stations located on the ground floor of the terminal or within the General Aviation Car Park before returning to your vehicle to exit the car park. As you leave the car park, insert the paid ticket into the exit station and the boom gate will open and you may exit. Alternatively, you can pay at an exit station using your credit card only. As you leave the car park, insert the ticket you received when entering the carpark into the exit station. On the screen it will display the amount you owe for parking. Insert your credit card into the station. Once your credit card has been accepted a receipt is produced and the boom gate will open and you may exit.
Parking costs are calculated from your time of entry into the car park.
A tax invoice/receipt is not automatically generated. Should you require a tax invoice, please select the ‘Receipt’ button on the pay station after you have inserted your entry pass.
Tax Invoices
A tax invoice/receipt is not automatically generated at the paystations. If you require a tax invoice, please select the ‘Receipt’ button on the paystation after you have inserted your entry pass. A Tax Invoice will be generated for all credit card payments made at an exit gate.
Lost Tickets
If you have lost your entry ticket press the intercom button on the paystation. You will need to provide proof of car park entry date by producing your boarding pass or other documentation such as a travel itinerary. If you cannot show any documentation initially, you will be required to pay a minimum $200.00 lost pass fee by selecting "Lost Ticket" on the pay station. Copies of appropriate documentation can then be mailed to PO Box 40996 Casuarina NT 0811 or provided by email to carparks@ntairports.com.au. We will then refund the difference between the lost ticket fee paid and the amended calculation (note that a receipt for the lost ticket payment must be included in the documentation provided).
Disabled Parking
A number of designated disabled car park spaces are conveniently located on either side of the pedestrian walkways within the Short Term Car Park and at the entrance of the Long Term Car Park.
Disabled customers may still choose to park for long term periods in the Short Term Car Park. Customers will need to pay the short term rates initially and obtain a tax invoice/receipt for the paid parking charge. The receipt and a copy of the relevant ACROD permit can then be mailed to PO Box 40996 Casuarina NT 0811 or by email to carparks@ntairports.com.au. We will then refund the difference between the parking charge paid and the long term parking calculation.
