FAQs
All your parking questions answered. See below for helpful information about parking at the airport or using our online booking service.
You will receive a PIN Code on your booking confirmation email, and by SMS. This code needs to be entered into the PIN pad at the entry and exit of the car park. Simply enter the code, and the barrier will go up. DO NOT press the button to get a ticket. The PIN code is all you need. There is a slight delay from putting the PIN code in to the barrier rising.
You need to park in the car park that you have booked, for example the Long Stay Car Park. Once you are in the car park you may park wherever you like.
If you wish to change or edit your booking, you can simply cancel your booking at least 24 hours before the booked entry time, and then create a new one. You will then receive a full refund (less any non-refundable fees). If you have any special requirements, please email info@pnairport.co.nz for assistance.
No, but don’t worry, your code will still work when you leave. Depending on how long extra you stay, your credit card may be recharged with the additional fees. You don’t need to change your booking and the additional charges will be the same as if you selected that time period when booking without penalty.
Please check your Junk emails, and check your email address is correct by selecting the “my account” option on the top toolbar. By selecting “my bookings” you can also bring up the booking confirmation and receipt for your booking.
You can pay using any major credit card via our Payment Express payment page. Union Pay is not available for this service.

and that the booked period is valid. If the arm still does not raise then use the intercom to contact one of our team members.
Parking zones and add on products are subject to availability, therefore something might not be selectable due to occupancy, or your duration of stay might be outside of the rules associated with that parking area. Only the Long Stay Car Park can be booked online.
You will see the confirmation page on the website, this confirms your booking is made. You will also then receive two emails, one with a tax invoice / receipt, and another with your booking confirmation and instructions for your visit.

Each booking is for a single use of the car park therefore you can only enter, and exit once per booking. Once you use your code to enter, it will not allow you to enter again.
