Located just a few minutes drive from both terminals, The Wait Zones help make pick-ups a lot easier. 

When travellers call or text you to say they are ready to be picked up, simply exit The Wait Zone and drive around to the pick-up/drop-off area in front of the terminals – just a short drive away. Drivers are allowed 30 minutes free parking at The Wait Zones. 

If you would like to greet your friends and family at arrivals, you can pre-book short-term parking online and through the Auckland Airport app.
