🚙 Short-Term vs Long-Term Parking
Short-Term
Perfect for quick trips or drop-offs. It’s close to the terminal but not ideal for overnight stays due to cost stacking up fast.
Long-Term
Ideal for longer trips or holiday travel. Albury Airport’s long-term parking offers value with the $99/week flat rate—but it’s still outdoors and unsheltered, and there’s limited shade in summer.
💳 How to Pay for Parking at Albury Airport
You can pay at the boom gates on exit using:
Credit/debit card
Tap & go
Cash (at some pay stations near the terminal)
Receipts are issued automatically. There are no pre-booking options online, and space availability is first-come, first-served.
🤔 Hidden Costs & Things to Watch Out For
There are no reserved bays—so during busy periods, long-term spots may fill up.
If you stay beyond 24 hours, you’ll be charged at the daily rate ($17/day).
The annual pass isn’t ideal unless you’re flying weekly.
Honestly? Once you add in time, stress, fuel, and the fact that it’s uncovered parking—it’s often just as cost-effective to book a private transfer instead.
🛻 Should You Drive or Book a Private Transfer?
We get it. Driving seems "easier"—until it's not.
If you:
Have a super early or late-night flight
Are travelling with kids or elderly family
Have bulky luggage or snow gear
Just don’t want the hassle of parking
Then booking a Top Tier Luxury Travel transfer might be the smarter move.
✅ We pick you up at your door
