Auckland Airport launches online parking

Book your guaranteed airport park online and look for the best prices on offer

Booking your parking at Auckland Airport is now much easier with a new online system that provides airport customers with great choice and even greater deals.

Auckland Airport general manager retail and commercial, Adrian Littlewood, says,"Parking at the airport is an extremely competitive market, and we are constantly looking for ways to provide a better service and greater choice, We are pleased to announce that this week we have introduced a new online option, giving customers the ability to book and pre-pay online, ensuring their parking space is guaranteed."

Customers will also have the ability to benefit from great deals by booking online, depending on the availability and duration of their stay.

People wanting to park at the airport can go to www.aucklandairport.co.nz and enter their travel dates and times on a quick quote calculator to be presented with a range of options. After choosing their preferred option, they can pay using a credit card. The payment process is completely secure. A confirmation is emailed to the customer confirming the reservation details and the parking spot is guaranteed.

On arrival at the car park, the customer can use their credit card to enter or exit the car park. "It's a very easy and seamless process," Mr Littlewood says.

Some great deals are being offered for the launch of the new service including up to 50 percent saving on drive up rates. For example a customer could park right at the terminal for $49 for seven days or $39 for the whole weekend, depending on availability at time of booking.

"Auckland Airport's best prices will always be online, so the airport website is always worth a look before travelling, you never know what great parking deal you could pick up", said Mr Littlewood.
