Drop-off & Pick-up
- Dropping off and picking up is free as long as the passenger is ready immediately – there is a 1 minute time limit so ensure your passenger is ready. If they’re not, you’ll be asked to move from the drop-off and pick-up zones by an airport employee.
- While in the drop-off & pick-up zone, the driver must stay with the vehicle at all times in line with airport security measures.
- If your passenger isn’t ready for pick-up, your best options are to either go to the waiting area of which you can wait for up to 30 minutes free of charge. If waiting between 30-60 minutes in the waiting area, you’ll be charged $4. Any longer than 60 minutes and you’ll the Terminal parking rates (view here or in our table above).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is airport parking at Melbourne Airport?
The total cost depends on where you park, how long you park for and what service you opt into. For comparison, parking for an hour may only cost you $4, or up to $553 for a week. Seeking additional online discounts as well as using off-site airport parking can considerably bring down the cost for you.
How do I book? On the day or online?
Both – but for most places, you’ll get better deals and better parking options when booking online and in advance. When booking once you arrive, your options will be limited to what is available. This adds stress to your journey during busier times of the year.
Are all airport car parks undercover?
No – there’s covered and ‘open air’ (uncovered) car parks available. Typically there is an additional cost for booking covered car parks, but this depends on who you book with.
Can I park my motorcycle at the Melbourne Airport?
Yes – motorcycle parking is available. While there’s still a fee to park your motorcycle, you’ll often receive significant discounts due to its size.
What if my flight is delayed or I need to extend my stay?
You can arrange to extend your parking with the company you selected. You’ll either pay the additional time incurred, which is charged at the lowest rate, a predetermined ‘overstay’ fee, or nothing at all if you’re on a fixed daily or multi-day price and return within the day. If you’re going away for long stays, it’s always good to be on the safe side and organise for your pick-up time to be a few hours after you’re meant to land. This will give you enough time to cover most small flight delays.
Can I cancel my online booking and receive a refund?
This depends on who you book with. For the most part, you will be able to cancel your online booking and receive a refund. However, cancellation fees may apply. Be sure to read the cancellation and refunds policy before you book.
