You can park at the airport directly, and be within walking distance of the check-in desks. The downside to parking at Brisbane Airport is the cost; the airport’s own car parks are the most expensive options available. To give you an idea of the expense involved, we’ve listed some of the rates to give you a rough idea of how much each car park costs.

Just make sure you factor in extra time to park your car and catch the shuttle bus, as most off-site car parks are about ten to fifteen minutes away from the terminals. For a rough guide to pricing, we’ve mentioned a couple of well known car parks: Andrew’s Airport Parking Brisbane Famous for its good old fashioned service, Andrew’s Airport Parking is the largest off-site car park in Brisbane and open 24/7.

Three days at Gateway will set you back $36.00 for outdoor parking and $54.00 for undercover.  How to Avoid Brisbane Airport ParkingIf you’d prefer to skip driving to the airport altogether, there are several other ways to get there. These include rideshare services, taxis, shuttles, and public transport.  Rideshare ServicesThe cost of rideshare services such as Uber, Ola, and Taxify is often less than taxis, but not always. These services charge extra when demand is high, which can drive up the cost during peak periods and holidays. Drivers will use their own car to pick you up, and the app will give you a cost estimate. Uber will cost approximately $45.00 off-peak, from the CBD.Once your return, there are designated areas at Brisbane Airport for rideshare pick-ups. At the Domestic Terminal, it’s on the central road between the passenger drop-off and the taxi rank. At the International Terminal, you’ll need to head to Level 2 at the northern end of the building. By TaxiOne of the most convenient ways to get to the airport, taxis will pick you up from your home and drop you off right at the terminal. When you return to the airport, you’ll find taxi ranks on the road in front of the Domestic Terminal and at the northern end of the International Terminal.This isn’t the cheapest option though - from the centre of the city, trips cost around $50.00 one-way, and take around 20 minutes. Depending on the length of your trip, it might be cheaper to simply park near the airport!  Airport ShuttlesThere are a handful of different companies that run airport shuttle services to Brisbane Airport, from the surrounding suburbs, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. Prices start from $20.00 per person, one way, from the CBD. There are usually discounts for return trips and large groups. Public TransportYou can either catch the bus or take the train to the airport. Brisbane City Council has its own bus service, on Route 590, that runs between the airport and the Toombul Interchange. The Airtrain will get you to the airport in just 22 minutes, from the centre of town. A one-way adult ticket costs $15.00. Services start at 4.50am on weekdays, and 5.50am on the weekend, and run late. Airtrain operates seven days a week, and on public holidays.You can also catch the train from Gold Coast to Brisbane Airport; services run between 6.00am and 8.00pm daily.
