Secure Off-Airport Parking Near Auckland Airport

With Flyaway, your vehicle remains at the Verissimo Drive site while you travel. Flyaway does not move vehicles to a remote storage location. The site is fully fenced, monitored and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This makes Flyaway a practical option for travellers who want a secure airport parking service close to Auckland Airport, without needing to walk from a terminal car park with their luggage.

Real Support If Your Travel Plans Change

Flight times can change, and travellers do not always return at the time they originally expected. Airlines regularly adjust schedules, flights can be delayed, and international arrivals can take longer than planned.

With Flyaway, there are real people available 24/7 to take your call and help with parking-related questions. Flyaway can assist with booking changes, amended return times, refund requests if you return early, and general queries about your parking booking.

This gives travellers a more personal level of support than a self-directed parking process, particularly when travel plans change at short notice.

Support If Your Battery Goes Flat

It is not uncommon for travellers to return from a trip and find their vehicle battery has gone flat while they have been away. With Flyaway, this can often be identified before you even get back to the site, because your vehicle is prepared for your return outside reception.

If your battery needs attention, Flyaway can help jump start the vehicle before you leave. This can make a real difference after a long-haul flight, a late-night arrival or poor weather, when the last thing you want is to be stuck in a car park trying to organise assistance.

Overstays and Changed Return Times

If your flight changes or you return later than planned, parking arrangements can become more stressful. Some airport parking options may charge additional fees when you stay longer than originally booked, and those charges can depend on the car park, the length of the overstay and the terms of the booking.

Flyaway aims to keep this process simple. If your plans change, you can contact the team and speak to a real person about your booking. This is particularly useful if your airline changes your return flight, your arrival is delayed, or your travel plans shift while you are away.
