We're experiencing very high parking demand over the school holiday period. If you don't have a confirmed parking booking, please consider alternative ways to travel to the airport. Please allow additional travel time when arriving at the airport, as it may take longer than usual to locate available parking

Terminal 1, 2 & 3

Until October 6, passengers flying with Qantas (T1), International Airlines (T2) or Virgin Australia (T3), can be dropped off at Departure Drive. 

To access Departure Drive, simply follow the signs for T123 Drop Off on the Tullamarine Freeway that will guide you to the drop off area. 

From October 6, if you’re flying with Qantas, Internationally or with Virgin Australia, free 1 minute drop off will be in our new T123 Transport Hub on Level 3 of the existing short term car park. 

To access the new drop off zone, take Exit 19, Naarm Way from the Tullamarine Freeway and follow the signs to T123 pick up.

Terminal 4

For passengers flying Jetstar domestic or Rex, they can be dropped off on Level 2 of the T4 Transport Hub.

How to access the T4 Transport Hub:

Handy hint: if you’re dropping off someone flying with Virgin, it can be easier to use the drop off area in the T4 Transport Hub on Level 2.

Need more time?

For longer goodbyes you can drop your passengers off with their luggage in our free drop off zones, then head to the nearest car park. View our current parking rates, but for the cheapest prices it’s always best to book online before you arrive.
