Parking FAQs

Can I alter my booking details after I have entered the carpark?

No, bookings cannot be altered once you have entered the carpark.

What do I do if my plans change and I need to have my car parked for longer than my original booking?

Nothing, Scan your original QR code on exit and the system will prompt you to pay the difference between your original booking and your extended stay.

My flight has been delayed, can I exit the carpark with my QR code and come back later in the day with the same QR code?

No, Bookings are single use only. If the situation above occurs, please contact Coffs Harbour Airport staff on 0437 569 591 to discuss.

My plans changed and I came back earlier than expected - can I get a reimbursement for the booking time not used?

No, the system reserves spaces when online bookings are made, therefore bookings are not able to be partially refunded on a pro-rata basis.

My flight was cancelled after I had arrived at the airport. Can I get a refund for my parking?

Generally, refunds are not provided when flights are cancelled, however depending on the specifics at the time, refunds may be considered. If you believe there are extenuating circumstances related to airport facilities, please contact our staff on 0437 569 591. We also suggest that you consider an appropriate level of travel insurance when booking travel arrangements.

Is there a grace period for early entry or a late exit?

Yes, when you have booked online, there is a grace period of 1 hour either side of your booking.
