Last verified: October 27, 2026, against WSI's own rates, parking, getting-here and parking-FAQ pages, Transport for NSW's WSI Link page, the federal M12 release and SBS on the Metro delay. Launch pricing runs to April 30, 2027; availability and online discounts change by the hour, so check WSI before you travel.
Disclosure: ParkingAccess sells no parking at Western Sydney International and earns nothing from this page. It is a guide to the airport's published rates, written because the new airport's parking is described differently across news reports and social posts.
Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport is Sydney's second airport, at 40 Nancy Drive, Luddenham, with direct access from the toll-free M12 Motorway. Its parking launched at prices far below what most big airports charge. Here is the official rate card, what each car park is like, the traps in the free-parking offers, and how to get there without a car.
WSI's drive-up rate card, headed "Launch pricing up until 30th of April 2027," charges A$49 for 3 to 24 hours in Premium Covered, A$29 in Saver and A$15 in Long Stay, and the same again for each additional day. Booking online earns further discounts that the airport does not publish as a figure. All amounts are Australian dollars (WSI rates page, October 27, 2026).
| Time in the car park | Premium Covered | Saver | Long Stay | Express pick-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 15 minutes | A$5 | A$0 | A$0 | A$0 |
| 16 to 30 minutes | A$11 | A$5 | A$0 | A$12 |
| 31 to 60 minutes | A$22 | A$9 | A$0 | A$25 |
| 1 to 2 hours | A$31 | A$13 | A$10 | A$35 |
| 2 to 3 hours | A$42 | A$17 | A$10 | A$47 |
| 3 to 24 hours | A$49 | A$29 | A$15 | A$54 |
| Each additional day | A$49 | A$29 | A$15 | A$54 |
Premium Covered in P1 is a 2-minute walk with a covered walkway, P2 Premium Covered is 2 to 3 minutes, P2 Saver is 4 to 6 minutes uncovered, and P4 Long Stay is a free shuttle bus ride (WSI parking page, October 27, 2026). Some launch coverage puts Saver at two to three minutes; WSI's own page says 4 to 6.
WSI's "3 hours parking on us" offer covers Saver (P2) only, online bookings only, with limited availability and a three-hour maximum. If you stay longer than three hours, the free offer does not apply and you pay the full Saver fee for the entire stay (WSI parking page terms, October 27, 2026).
For a 3-day trip the card works out to A$147 in Premium Covered, A$87 in Saver and A$45 in Long Stay; for 7 days it is A$343, A$203 and A$105. Saver saves A$20 a day against Premium, and Long Stay saves A$14 a day against Saver. These are ParkingAccess arithmetic from the drive-up card, counting each 24 hours at the 3 to 24 hour rate, and exclude any online discount.
| Trip length | Premium Covered | Saver | Long Stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | A$49 | A$29 | A$15 |
| 3 days | A$147 | A$87 | A$45 |
| 7 days | A$343 | A$203 | A$105 |
One more piece of arithmetic: a pick-up that takes 31 to 60 minutes costs A$25 at Express pick-up, A$9 in Saver and nothing in Long Stay, so Express pick-up is about 2.8 times the Saver price for the same hour. Method: WSI's drive-up card as published on October 27, 2026.
There is no train or metro yet. A free shuttle bus connects St Marys train and bus interchange with the airport kerbside every 30 minutes, taking about 30 minutes, and public buses run every 30 minutes from 5:00am to 10:00pm to Penrith, Leppington, Liverpool, Campbelltown and Mount Druitt (WSI, October 27, 2026).
At launch, drive-up parking is A$49 a day in Premium Covered, A$29 in Saver and A$15 in Long Stay, with further discounts for booking online. The rates apply to entry up to April 30, 2027.
Only in limited ways: 15 minutes in the P1 pick-up car park, the first hour in Long Stay, and a limited number of free three-hour Saver stays booked online. Stay longer than three hours on the offer and you pay the full Saver fee.
Choose your dates and car park on the airport's parking page and enter your licence plate. Online reservations are available up to 6 hours before arrival.
Two minutes from P1 Premium Covered, two to three from P2 Premium Covered, four to six from P2 Saver. Long Stay uses a free shuttle bus.
