As Auckland International Airport is the busiest airport located in Auckland New Zealand, having handled over 20 million passengers as at June 2022, it was important that we offered more than just parking equipment – we offered a complete parking management solution.

With a small transport team, and servicing over thirty airlines, a smart parking guidance system, not just ‘parking equipment’ plays a huge role in automating, providing insights, and driving positive business decisions.

Frogparking were thrilled to install a parking system that has shown an incredible 461% return on investment within the first three years since installation.

Initially, as parking of our parking equipment, we installed an outdoor a smart parking guidance system (FrogGuidance) and dynamic directional signage (FrogSigns) in the international short-term and drop-off zones, followed by the domestic terminal and has since been rolled out at five parking locations owned by Auckland Airport.

This automated parking system offered efficiency gains, congestion-management, increased parking revenue and valuable data to assist with peak time traffic management…. we pride ourselves on taking parking equipment, and turning it into an end-to-end solution that offers many unrealized benefits. From parking equipment, to parking software, Frogparking have it all.

Frogparking is Auckland International’s preferred supplier of smart parking guidance systems, and since the initial project, we have been working in partnership with the team to continuously upgrade existing technology.

Auckland Airport Enhances Parking Experience with Frogparking’s
State-of-the-Art Parking Guidance System

In September 2024, the partnership with Auckland International Airport continues to grow with the opening of the Manawa Bay Outlet Centre.  Carrying on from the success at the airport, Frogparking has proudly installed an advanced indoor parking guidance system. Designed with customer experience and safety in mind, the parking system includes extra-large gantry signs that guide drivers safely from high-speed roads into the appropriate parking areas. Significantly reducing congestion and improving overall safety. Additionally, the guidance lights are designed with accessibility in mind, offering dedicated parking for disabled users, electric vehicles (EVs), and premium parking options.

 In addition to this new site, Auckland International Airport has also opened a new parking building and in October 2024, Frogparking has installed a indoor parking guidance system as well as directional and wayfinding signage throughout this structure. Making parking before a flight less stressful.

“We are thrilled to partner with Auckland Airport to deliver a parking solution that not only enhances the customer experience but also aligns with the airport’s sustainability goals,” said Shareena Sandbrook, CEO at Frogparking. “By reducing cruise times and carbon emissions, we’re contributing to a more sustainable future, while also making parking more convenient and safer for everyone.”

Project Breakdown

Carpark M

Domestic short-term covered & uncovered Carpark M is Auckland International Airport’s “executive parking” option. A short 1-2 minute walk to the domestic terminal, Carpark M is a high-value lot for the airport. Using live & historical data from an initial Frogparking installation of parking equipment, to determine that additional capacity was needed in this area. Using the data delivered to management by Frogparking, the airport added an additional 544 parking spaces to Carpark M.

Carpark A

Short-term P90 Meeting/Farewelling Located at the International Terminal, Carpark A is a short-term option for pick-ups or drop-offs (transient parkers). Before installing Frogparking parking equipment, motorists had no idea where parking was available. This led to congestion and low turnovers as people overstayed, ultimately leading to lost revenue. After installing sensors and signage, the results have exceeded expectations with a 7% reduction in vehicles circulating searching for a space and a 6.8% increase in vehicles entering the car park & staying less than 90 minutes.
