As the table shows, weekend parking rates vary depending on the car park. The cheapest Melbourne Airport car park for weekend getaways is the Value Car Park for $24.00 for a 3-day stay. While cheap, parking at the Value Car Park means your car will be parked without shelter, and travellers will wait for the shuttle that departs every 15 - 20 minutes.
Consider these affordable alternatives for parking near the airport:
For a bit more expensive parking closer to the terminals, these options are available:
The following providers are accessible for both domestic and international flights, meaning they will drop you off at the terminal of your choice in less than 10 minutes.
Air Travel Parking offers affordable & convenient parking for short or long durations at Melbourne Airport. Regardless of the terminal you're flying from, Air Travel Parking charges the same rates and offers on-demand shuttle services to drop off and pick up travellers from the select terminal they are travelling from.
The ride from the car park to the terminals is only 8 minutes and will allow travellers to only spend $30.00 for 3 days of parking. For a quick parking experience, choose Air Travel Parking for your next weekend trip away.
Jetaway Parking is open 24/7/365 and charges only $58.25 for a 3-day stay away. Located a 9-minute shuttle ride from the terminals, Jetaway's shuttle service is on-demand, meaning you will never be left waiting for the next available shuttle bus. If you're ready, it is as well.
This is one of the few Melbourne Airport car parks open 24/7, so it sells out quickly, especially for weekend getaways. We recommend booking at least 5 days in advance to secure your spot.
Melrose Airport Parking Melbourne is another great choice for those looking for covered parking at Melbourne Airport.
Melrose offers one of the most simple parking experiences: drive up, check in, hand over your keys, and board an on-demand shuttle with luggage assistance. Car washing and maintenance services are also available when parking here, available upon arrival.
The Value Car Park at Melbourne Airport is an open-air car park ideal for budget-conscious travellers. It offers 24/7 shuttle service to the terminals every 15 minutes, with 8 stops every few minutes between T1 and T4.
Drive-up options are available at this car park but may result in a long search for a spot or finding the lot full. To avoid this, book online in advance to save time and ensure availability. Arrive 30 minutes before check-in, as shuttle queues are common. While affordable, user reviews are mixed, particularly regarding security.
For those who value convenience, the T1, T3, & T4 car parks are the most convenient available for domestic travellers. Parking with these car parks will mean you're within a 1 - 12 minute walk from T1, T3, or T4.
The Terminal Car Parks at Melbourne Airport are designed for travellers who want to be minutes away from the check-in desks and don't mind paying high parking rates in exchange for proximity to the terminals.
The Terminal 1,2, & 3 Car Park, as its name implies, serves travellers flying from these terminals. The T4 Car Park, alternatively, is in a separate location adjacent to T4, designed to accommodate travellers flying from this terminal.
The first 15 minutes of parking are free for quick drop-offs or pickups. Travellers parking here have direct access to Terminals 1, 2, & 3 via a link bridge (7 - 12-minute walk) and are just a 4 - 9 minute walk from Terminal 4. This proximity makes it popular for those flying Jetstar, TigerAir, REX, or Air North from T4. Accessible parking bays are available, and the car parks host 24/7 CCTV.

If you're flying from Melbourne Airport's international terminal, the Terminal Car Park, Premium Self-Park, and Premium Valet Parking are the most convenient Terminal 2 parking options. However, these options can be costly, particularly for weekend parking, and may not offer the best value for those seeking more affordable alternatives.

The Valet Car Park at Melbourne Airport is similar to Qantas Valet Parking but comes at a higher rate. The car park is owned and operated by Melbourne Airport and is located on Level 2 of the Terminal 1, 2, & 3 car park. The Valet Car Park is only open during specific hours, from 04:00 - 01:00 am, so you can't access your car if your flight arrives or departs outside these hours.
