Dropping off and picking up travellers

Fast & convenient drop-off and pick-up locations

Auckland Airport provides a number of solutions for people wanting to pick up or drop off their loved ones.  We provide the great option of parking in any uncovered carpark and the first 10 minutes is free!   

At the international terminal, there is a designated public drop-off area located in the middle forecourt lane. Look for the public drop-off signs as you enter the international forecourt.

At the domestic terminals, a pick-up drop-off car park is available opposite the Air NZ terminal.  This is a safe and convenient place to park when you want to drop-off or pick-up travellers and their luggage.  You may also use the domestic terminals forecourt areas, however no parking is permitted.

To find the exact locations of the pick-up and drop-off areas, view our car park location maps and calculator.

All terminal forecourts are designated security areas.  They may be used to drop off and pick up travellers, however no parking or waiting is permitted.

Due to strict secruity requirements, any vehicle left unattended at the terminal forecourts may be immediately towed.
