Blu Emu Parking
While the Blu Emu Car Park is often considered an affordable choice for Sydney Airport parking, it does not provide direct transfers to Terminal 1, only to the domestic terminals (T2 & T3).
If you park at Blu Emu, you’ll need to take a shuttle to T2 or T3 and then transfer to another bus for T1, resulting in a 20+ minute journey.
At that point, Airport Express Sydney offers a much faster and more cost-effective solution.
⚠️The Blu Emu does NOT offer shuttle service to T1.
- Service: Shuttle
- Distance to T1: Travellers are not advised to park with the Blu Emu Car Park for international departures
- Height / Length Restrictions: 3.5 metres

1. Where’s the best place to park for international flights at Sydney Airport?
If you’re flying out of T1, the International Terminal, you’ve got a few options.
🏃♀️Closest option: The P7 car park (2-5 min walk)
💸Most affordable option: Air Travel Parking ($144 a week for fully indoor parking)
2. Is undercover parking available at Sydney International?
Yes, and you’ve got a range to pick from:
- Air Travel Parking is a multi-level, fully indoor car park, more than half the price of P7 ($144 a week)
- The P7 car park is a multi-level covered car park with an open-air roof ($602.50 a week)
- Airport Express Sydney offers shade-sail covered parking for $1 more than Air Travel Parking ($145 a week)
3. How early should I book parking if I am flying out of the international terminal at SYD?
Prices increase the closer you get to your travel date, especially during holidays or peak travel times.
If you’re flying internationally, try to book parking at least a week to two weeks ahead.
If you can only book parking the night before, you will still save compared to driving up to the car park on your day of departure.
4. Can l park for free at the international airport?
Travellers can utilise the Public Pick-up zone for free for 15 minutes.
Be sure not to overstay the 15 minutes, though.
Many customers have reported getting hit with the hourly rates, even if it is just 1-2 minutes past the 15-minute mark.
5. What is the busiest car park serving the international terminal?
The P7 car park is one of the busiest car parks serving the international terminal, primarily because it's the only one.
Past customer reviews highlight that this car park consistently lacks space, especially during peak hours or holidays.
If you plan to park here during the holidays, plan to arrive at least 45-minutes before you need to check in, as you may find yourself circling the car park for a spot.
At that point, you might want to consider booking an off-site provider for half the cost.
