Simplify airport trips with parking at Melbourne Airport

For short stays, long trips, or quick pick-ups, the location, timing, and length of stay all affect the experience.

With the right choice, airport visitors can park close to the terminal, save time, and avoid last-minute decisions.

To find the best fit, here’s how to choose the right parking option at Melbourne Airport for any travel need.

Choose the car park closest to the terminal

Heading to the airport for a holiday or just collecting family after a flight? Terminal car parks keep the walk short and take the guesswork out of parking.

The T123 car park connects directly to Terminals 1, 2, and 3 through covered link bridges, while the T4 car park sits just across from Terminal 4.

For an even more seamless experience, upgrade to Premium Self Park, located on Level 1 of the T123 car park and the T4 car park.

It has undercover bays closest to the entrances, making parking and terminal access quick and straightforward.

Use the grace period for early or delayed travel

To make parking more flexible, all online bookings include a grace period.

For stays under four hours, that means getting an extra hour before entry and another after exit.

Stays over four hours come with two extra hours before the booked time and two extra hours after.

This makes it easier to plan the day without worrying about arriving too early or leaving later than expected.

If a stay goes beyond the grace period, drive-up rates apply, but an Overstay Guarantee can be added during booking for a fee to cover unplanned changes caused by flight cancellations, border closures, and illness.

Lock in lower rates by booking online

Booking online is one of the easiest ways to save on airport parking. Drive-up prices are higher, and booking ahead online keeps rates lower.

For trips planned months in advance, bookings can be made up to 12 months ahead, making it simple to organise parking at the same time as flights.

For those wanting low rates, choose the Value car park. It’s ideal for short and long stays, with a free shuttle service running every 15 minutes, 24/7, and dedicated stops close to all terminals.

During peak holiday periods, Value Express provides valet service at budget rates, with cars parked on drop-off and returned at pick-up.

Change or extend a booking online

Already parked and need more time?

Bookings can be extended online before the booked exit day and time.

Airport visitors can also cancel their booking or adjust their entry and exit times, with any fare difference shown before confirming.

Plan ahead and book parking online

Airport trips are easier when parking is sorted in advance. By booking online, it’s straightforward to match each trip with the right car park, access lower rates, and allow for extra time with grace periods.
