Travelling as a family can involve more bags, more preparation and more people to keep informed. When using self-service parking near Hobart Airport, plan the move from your own car to your terminal transport before the day of departure.
Count passengers and luggage separately
A vehicle with enough passenger seats may still need more space for suitcases, a pram or other travel equipment. Tell your taxi or transport provider what you expect to carry. Discuss any particular equipment, assistance or seating requirements directly with them before booking the transfer.
Our parking at 201 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge does not include a shuttle. You arrange and pay for your own taxi or Uber. The usual drive to the terminal is around three to five minutes, plus time to arrange pickup and load your bags.
Decide who is responsible for each step
Agree who will keep the keys, save the booking instructions and arrange the transfer. If another adult is helping with luggage, share the parking address and meeting plan so everyone knows where the group is going next.
Self-service parking means you park the car and keep your keys. Follow the confirmed access instructions and lock the gate behind you when leaving. Read how our parking works before travelling so the arrival routine is familiar.
Keep important items with the travelling group
Before locking the car, check that the bags going to the terminal contain your travel documents and the essentials you will need on the journey. Put the car keys somewhere consistent and accessible for the return.
Save a copy of the confirmation and reference on a phone that will stay with the group. Our pre-travel checklist can help you organise the vehicle and booking information alongside your packing list.
Plan for the flight home
Check the date on which you will actually collect your car, especially for an evening arrival. Arrange transport back from the terminal with the same attention to passenger and luggage capacity as the outward journey.
If a delay changes your collection date, contact our team with your booking reference. Access is available 24/7 on your booked dates, so those dates need to match the stay you require.
Check your dates and parking quote online, then add both terminal transfers to the family travel budget. For a larger or oversized vehicle, call us before booking to confirm whether a suitable space is available.
