The Parking Pass is designed to minimise our impact on the environment, reducing the number of vehicles coming to Splore, cutting our greenhouse gas emissions and making Splore less congested by encouraging carpooling and ride-sharing.

You must have one if you want to bring a vehicle into the festival and access the on-site parking. The Parking Pass rewards carpooling and provides funds for affordable alternative transport. We first introduced the Parking Pass at Splore 2014 and have since achieved a  35% reduction in the number vehicles on site. This is a huge win!  

First decide whether you need to drive your car to Splore or if there’s a public transport option suitable for you, or whether you can share a ride in someone else's vehicle. 

If you are going to drive then you need a Parking Pass. A parking pass purchased in advance costs $50+BF per vehicle.

When you arrive at Splore with 3 or more people in your vehicle you will receive a refund of $35. So pack light and bring your mates. Vehicles that arrive with fewer than 3 people will not receive a refund.

There is a separate Parking Pass for standard passenger vehicles and another for camper vehicles. If you intend to camp in your vehicle or you are towing a caravan please purchase a Camper Vehicle Parking Pass to gain access into the designated camper vehicle field as opposed to the standard vehicle car park where camping is not permitted.

Pre booked Reserved Camper-Vehicle sites include one non-refundable Parking Pass so no need to purchase an additional pass. All other reserved campers, glampers and general admission campers must have Parking Pass to gain vehicle access to the festival.

Buy before you arrive because vehicles that arrive at the festival without a Parking Pass will be charged more. The following parking gate fees apply: $50 with 3 people in the vehicle and $65 with fewer than 3 people.  So save money and hassles and get a Parking Pass before you arrive at Splore.

• Vehicles with 3+ people receive $35 refund on arrival
• Carpool or use alternative transport to save.
• Vehicles that arrive without a Parking Pass will be charged more.
• 2 seater vehicles with 2 passengers will qualify for a carpool refund.
• Motorbikes do not require a parking pass.

Remember if you must drive, carpooling is king. It not only saves you money on parking and on fuel but it’s also kinder on our environment.
