If you're looking for the most affordable option or going away for 3+ days, car parks designed for long-term parking will be your best bet.

How does long-term parking at Melbourne Airport work?

Arrival:

• Drive to the car park, check in with the attendant using your confirmation email, handover your keys, and board the shuttle to the terminals.

Return:

• On your return to the airport, collect your luggage and call the shuttle number on your booking confirmation. The driver will then direct you to the pick-up location and take you back to the car park to collect your vehicle. 

 

💡ParkMundo (formerly Flyparks) parking tip #1: Plan to arrive 30-45 minutes before check-in at official car parks not within walking distance of the terminals, due to the shuttle schedule.
