About Parking in Canberra

Canberra offers more parking than most people realise. The ACT Government maintains hundreds of free off-street car parks across every suburb, from Belconnen and Tuggeranong to Woden and Gungahlin. Time limits in the CBD and town centres typically range from one to four hours, but many suburban car parks are unrestricted all day.

If you need guaranteed, covered or secure parking, commercial operators like Wilson Parking and Secure Parking run multi-storey garages in Civic, the Parliamentary Triangle and major shopping centres. Rates vary from around $3 per hour to $25 for all-day parking, depending on the location.

For commuters, the ACT’s Park & Ride facilities at Woden, Kippax and other light rail stops let you leave your car for free and hop on public transport into the city centre.

Heading to the airport? Canberra Airport provides short-term, long-term and express pick-up parking. Booking a private driveway nearby through ParkingUncover is often cheaper and more convenient.
