Where to park
If you need to park for a few days before heading across the Strait during the summer or holiday periods, take look at our handy guide.
Wellington terminal
Foot passengers:
- If you want to leave your vehicle behind for a few days, Wilson’s Station Car Park on Waterloo Quay allows long term and overnight parking. Please note this is not suitable for campers or people wishing to stay with their vehicles.
- The nearest daytime carpark is the Sky Stadium car park.
- A handy shuttle bus leaves from Platform 10 at Wellington railway station, 70 minutes before each sailing. If you park at Wilson’s or Sky Stadium you can use this to get to the terminal.
- Short term parking: There’s no public parking at the terminal, but you can drop off or pick up passengers in the designated area.

- If you want to leave your vehicle behind for a few days, you can use the Marlborough District Council long term parking at either the Dublin Street or Coathanger car parks. You can purchase a long-term parking coupon via the PayMyPark App, or at the Pay by Plate meter.
- If you’re staying longer before or after your ferry, there are other parking options around town and various accommodation options.
- Picton has signposted spaces for campervans and oversized vehicles for short-term (day) parking.
- However, freedom camping and overnights stays are prohibited in all public car parking areas.

Accessibility:
- If you have accessibility needs, let the crew know at check-in.
- They’ll provide a tag so you can park close to the lift on the ferry, and you’re welcome to remain in your wheelchair during the sailing.
