The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

Many of our car parks are nearly booked out with limited drive-up spots available. If you have a booking, please add 30 minutes extra time to your journey so that you will have plenty of time to find a spot. Please have your QR code at the ready for a smooth entry and exit. Thank you for your patience.

Road Disruptions

There will be disruptions due to the building and construction work around Melbourne Airport. Please check this list so you can plan ahead.

Travellers are advised to allow an additional 30 minutes to their journey to accommodate potential delays.

To avoid traffic congestion in the T123 Forecourt we recommend dropping-off or picking-up travellers at the Terminal 4 Transport Hub; simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups.
