Parking

If you are coming from the suburbs beyond the inner city, you can use a Park and Ride service. Park and Ride services allow you to drive to the station or terminal, leave your car, and enjoy a hassle-free ride into the central city.

For information on Park and Ride services and public transport options around Auckland, visit the MAXX website.

For information on bus services run by the University and links to public transport websites, see Transport in Auckland.
 

On-street parking in the central city usually operates on a ‘Pay and Display’ basis. When you park, you must buy a ticket from a roadside machine and display it on the dashboard of your car.

On Princes Street, you can pay for parking meters by mobile phone text, credit card, as well as the usual coinage. Parking times are strictly enforced by parking wardens, so check the maximum allowed time and move your car before your ticket expires.
 

The University’s main car park on the City Campus is located under the Owen G Glenn Building, which has five levels of car parking. You can access the car park from the traffic lights on Grafton Road, opposite the on-ramp to the ports at the Stanley Street end of the Business School.

You have three car parking options: casual hourly parking, casual daily parking, or discounted daily Early Bird parking.

*Early Bird parking cards are for staff and full-time students only. You must purchase the $20 Early Bird discount card from the Student Information Centre in The ClockTower, 22 Princes Street.

Short-term visitor parking is available at the Epsom and Tamaki campuses. If you have any queries, please phone +64 9 373 7599 ext 88485.

Parking areas on the Tamaki Campus are controlled by Unisafe officers.

Vehicles parked in the staff car parks are required to display a current University Parking Permit. Any vehicle illegally parked or not displaying a permit will be towed away at the owner's expense.
 

There are a limited number of spaces on campus for people with CCS mobility cards and people recovering from surgery or injury. To use these spaces on any of the University’s campuses, applications must be made to Disability Services (3737599 ext 82936). For more information, see the Disability Services website.
