The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week The Value Car Park is nearly sold out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you do have a car park booking, please arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal T1 T2 T3 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, which is a 10-minute walk to and from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Ready to hit the road?

Here’s how to ensure you’re hopping into the right Rideshare vehicle:

Head towards the designated rideshare pick up zone. Before approaching, make sure the licence plate and driver photo exactly match the car and driver in front of you. If you have a PIN, confirm your PIN with the driver before entering the vehicle. Once you’ve verified everything, now’s the time to load your luggage safely.

Some additional tips

  • Do not accept a ride from anyone offering rideshare services inside or outside the airport terminals.
  • Do not share your PIN with anyone else.
  • Never enter a different vehicle than the one assigned in your app.
  • If you have any concerns, please contact the Rideshare operator directly.
