Most hikers start at Marahau. The free car park at the start of the track is generally safe we were advised by Motueka Tourist Info. If you are using a kayak, water taxi or accommodation that is based in Marahau you are often allowed to leave your vehicle on their property. There is also a property that charges $5/day for parking on their property.
