Choosing parking for a flight from Hobart involves more than comparing a daily rate. Your luggage, departure time, terminal transport and plans for collecting the car all matter. Use the checks below to decide whether an off-airport parking arrangement suits your trip.
Check the location and the complete journey
Off-airport parking means parking at a separate site and completing the journey to the terminal. Five Dollar Hobart Airport Parking is located at 201 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge TAS 7170. It is a self-service parking site near Hobart Airport.
We do not operate a shuttle service. You arrange your own taxi or Uber; the trip to the terminal is usually around three to five minutes, with extra time needed to arrange transport and load your bags. Check that the transport you choose can accommodate your group and luggage.
Compare like-for-like costs
Get a quote for the same drop-off and pick-up dates from each parking provider. For our site, add transport in both directions to the parking quote. This gives you a more useful comparison than looking at advertised daily rates alone.
For parking within the airport grounds, check the airport’s current parking information for its location, terminal access and booking options. Confirm prices directly with the provider for your dates; this guide does not assume one option will always cost less.
Know who keeps the keys
At our self-service car park, you park your vehicle and take your keys with you. You also let yourself in and out using the instructions supplied with your confirmed booking. Read how our parking works before you arrive.
Different parking services can have different key and access arrangements. Check the terms of the specific service you book, especially if you are comparing self-service parking with valet parking.
Plan for your departure and return times
Our self-service access is available 24/7 on your booked dates. Keep the access instructions handy and lock the gate behind you when leaving. Arrange terminal transport with enough time for parking, loading your bags, check-in and airport security.
If a delayed flight changes your collection date, contact our team with your booking reference. For a late-night or early-morning arrival, consider how you will arrange transport back to the car park.
Check suitability before booking
Call our team before booking a caravan, trailer or oversized vehicle so we can confirm whether a suitable space is available. If you have specific mobility or access requirements, discuss them with both the parking and transport providers before making your plans.
For one trip, check parking availability and prices online. For extended storage or repeated visits, enquire about long-term parking and our annual pass. Our weekly parking cost guide can help you put the full travel budget together.
