Find the lowest prices and save money the next time you need to park at Brisbane Airport.
Sitting about 18km north-west of the CBD, Brisbane International Airport is Queensland’s largest airport.
It services Brisbane and its suburbs and offers more flight options to international and domestic destinations than the nearby Gold Coast Airport in Coolangatta and the Sunshine Coast Airport in Marcoola.
With the price of airport transfers to both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast going for more than $90 return for a single person, it can be much more cost-effective to drive yourself to the airport. We’ve taken a look at four of the most popular Brisbane airport parking companies and compared the prices for up to two weeks of parking.

What should I know about airport parking in Brisbane?

Budget Airport Parking offers free transfers to the terminal from the park and cruise lot, but the closest airport parking lot to the wharf is Gateway Airport Parking.

Is airport parking safe in Brisbane?
Most airport car parks offer some sort of security system, whether it’s CCTV surveillance or on-site security guards. Many of the lots offer 24-hour service, so there should always be a staff member to help if you’re in need.

- Airpark: 24-hour CCTV surveillance coverage of the entire car park
- Gateway Airport Parking: 24-hour on-site security
Do you also need a Brisbane Airport hotel?
Brisbane's airport is the largest airport in Queensland, offering the highest number of flights. With cities scattered along the Sunshine State's coast, it's often easier to drive a few hours down to Brisbane rather than taking a regional flight to connect in Brisbane.
If you've got a long drive ahead of you and an early flight to catch, it may be wise to drive in the day prior and stay at an airport hotel. Here are some of our top picks, based on how close they are to the airport:
