An Auckland man was left stunned after a parking machine at Auckland Airport tried to charge him more than $4000 for just 15 minutes in the airport's short-term car park on Monday.

South Auckland resident Kushma Nair said he tried to pay for a short-term car park at the international terminal when a machine repeatedly showed a charge of $4059.

"I was, like, 'What's happening?' and tried to do it twice, but it showed me $4059 for the 15 minutes or so I parked," Nair said.
