How to Cut Costs with Corporate Parking at Melbourne Airport

Managing travel expenses is a common headache for businesses. From plane tickets to taxi fares, business travel can strain your budget, especially with rising transportation costs.

At Melbourne Airport, we recognise the impact this can have on your business. With our Corporate Parking Program, you can check off airport parking fees from your list of significant business expenses. From discounts on parking rates to itemised monthly statements, keeping track of your business travel expenses has never been easier.

Melbourne Airport’s Corporate Parking Program is a savvy solution for businesses seeking to manage their travel costs effectively. It’s specifically designed to streamline your company's airport parking needs.

When you sign up, we’ll provide you with up to 50 parking access cards. This is what you will use to enter and exit the designated Melbourne Airport car park. You can request more passes if necessary, subject to availability and approval.

The program operates on a licence fee system. Each corporate client will have a 30-day monthly credit account. At the end of the monthly billing period, we’ll send you itemised statements. If your annual spending doesn't meet the minimum requirement, you'll simply pay the difference. This means you only pay for what you use.

The initial contract term is 12 months, with automatic monthly renewals thereafter. If the program no longer meets your needs, you can also opt out with a 30-day notice.

Looking for reasons to choose Melbourne Airport's Corporate Parking Program? Here’s what makes it such a smart choice for businesses:

• Cost savings: Enjoy 15% off drive-up rates for Terminal, Premium and Valet Parking at both T123 and T4 Car Parks.
• Tax benefit: Leaving a vehicle with Melbourne Airport Valet means reducing the number of days the car is counted as available for private use. This may help reduce your company's fringe benefits tax liability.
• Flexible access: Parking access cards are transferable, so team members can share as needed.
• Simplified billing: You’ll have a 30-day monthly credit account that makes managing expenses simple and easy.
• Track spending: Each month, you'll receive an itemised statement to help you keep an eye on costs.
• Convenient on-airport location: Our parking facilities are just a short walk from the airport terminals.
• Help whenever you need it: Our customer service team is available 24/7 to resolve any issues or queries. There are also HELP buttons at the boom gates.
• No need to pre-book online. Just bring your parking access card, tap in at the entry gate and tap out again when you leave.
• Accessible Parking bays: All our car parks have Accessible Parking bays for drivers with mobility limitations.

The exact savings will depend on how often your employees travel for business. However, in most cases, joining our Corporate Parking Program is more relying on taxis to and from the airport.

With 15% off the drive-up rates across selected car parks, the Corporate Parking Program can deliver long-term savings for your business. Plus, parking within the airport precinct helps reduce the risk of delays associated with off-airport parking providers and unreliable transport connections, helping your employees get to the terminal faster and with greater peace of mind.
