Travelling over the Easter school holidays? The car parks at Melbourne Airport are very busy.

We advise you to book online as soon as possible as there are limited drive-up spots left. When you arrive, please come early to allow plenty of time to find a car park. If you do book online please have your QR Code ready to use at the car park entrance and exit. If you can, consider alternative transport options this weekend.
