I travel a couple of times per year for work (departing from Auckland) and have been using AeroParks since not long after they started.  Pretty good service most of the time at reasonable pricing.  I've been trying to book parking on their web site for several days, but kept getting an error when it came to payment.  For no good reason I checked the Companies Register.  Company in liquidation as of four weeks ago.  Bummer.

There are a number of such places, and I've heard some bad stories in the past about some smaller operators.  Can anyone recommend a new option for me based on extended experience?

I've used https://flyaway.co.nz/ about 3 times, never had an issue. Very basic but does the job :) Couple times just for couple of days, then one week last year.

Plus 1 for Auckland Airport parking. Transfer buses go frequently without having to phone up and wait for them to fill a van with other customers at the others. Join the Strara club and you can accumulate points to eventually get $5 voucher to use for a carpark booking

Another vote for this - excellent service.

+1 again for the airport's own paid park and bus service.

 

I used to use AeroParks, then switched to Auckland Airport's carpark bus service. Much easier and on time.

I've used FlyAway several times and never had any problems. Just 5 mins drive from the airport, open 24/7, continuous shuttles.

I use auckland aiport's own parking quite a lot. Join their strata system and also get points buying duty free and other goods. I regularly get discount offers for their parking, but tend to use Car Park E for international trips.

Park and Fly from the Airport's own services - always reliable and the booking system is simple and intuitive. 

 

Prices aren't too bad and it's all nice and secure.
